I think I know the answer already

Seeing a guy. Long distance so was having usual text convo tonight. I expressed concern about being told the postcode my workplace is in is undergoing surge testing due to SA covid variant.
He basically ranted about this being the governments plan to keep us locked down and he's sick of it all. He then said he doesn't want to talk about it. When I reiterated again I was concerned due to being in the area where several cases have been detected he replied 'I don't care'
He then called me a sheeple and said I was being conditioned. Never even acknowledged my anxiety or tried to reassure me . It's not just me is it- he's an arse

@Umberellatheweatha

He's mental and he is horrible. Not a good combo. Definately ditch. And while you are at it, look back for prior signs that he was a nasty piece of work. Things that might help you spot his sort sooner in future.

Yes sadly you are right This pandemic has really shown some people's true colours

He then said he doesn't want to talk about it. When I reiterated again

Why did you continue to push this topic
I think it could cause a war with a lot people right now as everyone feels differently!

He asked you not to talk about it, you obviously have different opinions and you mentioned it again!!!

If someone said that to me, despite what my personal opinions are I would know to not mention it again. Personally I think you were thoughtless.

@Bul21ia because the OP didn’t want to talk about covid and numbers. She wanted to talk about the fact she was worried.

Is that not allowed anymore? Or a reason good enough to risk ‘a war’?

So in the middle of a pandemic, it’s not ok anymore to talk about your anxiety to your partner ?

And if your partner tell you to stop talking about a subject that is an issue to you/important/worrying, then the person should stop because they are then becoming thoughtless.... it’s not them being uncaring or unkind because they are refusing to support you when you are struggling....

Hmm ok.
Let’s hope this doesn’t also apply to you being worried about having some checks for possible cancer or about getting treatment for cancer then....

@CovidSmart in all honesty I’m just trying to give a fair opinion. The word he used I have never heard of it so I won’t comment but I have gathered it’s not very nice.

My point is though he declined to speak about it, personally I would assume it’s the whole topic of pandemic it is over welcoming .... I have some friends that send me things and tell me not to have the vaccine and one even said to cancel my app. So that’s what I meant by war.

Some opinions have been one sided here OP wanted to discuss the matter but she knows him better than you and I. He declined and she continued

Why?

I didn't want him to speak about coronavirus just to acknowledge I was worried. Who tf shuts someone's anxieties down if they care remotely about them?

An uncaring cunt most likely?

I think he is like a lot of people who Have done their bit, taken their vaccine and sick of being fed all the scaremongering every day. I don’t blame him for shutting you down to be honest

I'm with you, Sunflower. You're not compatible, but quite honestly, I couldn't be doing with someone's anxiety or reassuring them about this. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate. A few cases. So what? I think this is being spun out and really damaging people worse than the disease, and my father died from it.

Quite honestly, someone who's had enough of it. Which means he's not the right person for you, but he should have broken it off before this. It hardly means he's Bin Laden or some total monster.

I was hardly banging on about it. I simply said I've been working in a surge area so was a bit worried worried about it. He barked at me straight away and tried to shut me down

You’ve done nothing wrong @lostitall, honestly.

Just end it with this bloke, he’s not the one for you.

Omg DITCH and thank God you realised now!

He's a conspiracy theorist, which is one thing. I can't imagine liking anyone who was nancovid conspiracy theorist enough to want a relationship with them.

It's much worse that he became aggressive and shut you down. That is a definite bin situation.
