How can I talk to my boyfriend about getting the vaccine? He is an anti-vaxxer and it's been very hard on me.
Until the covid began I had never seen this side of my boyfriend. He is refusing the vaccine and it's causing us to be unable to go anywhere and he has to delay his university semester as they denied his exemption request.
He's so perfect in every single way except for this weird new conspiracy obsession he has developed. I was okay at first with him objecting to the vaccine because I felt like it was his body so whatever so long as he follows other precautions. However now it's lead to fights with his family (couldn't attend his cousin's wedding when he was supposed to be a groomsmen) and his parents keep threatening to cut him off. And now he's delaying school.
And honestly I could get over not being able to eat out for a while and him doing school later, but now he is being extremely outspoken about it and its embarassing to me. In Canada, you need a proof of vaccine to enter indoor setting (im unsure if its the same in other countries). However in our area it is all Italian who make up the majority of antivaxxers where we live (my boyfriend is an italian as well) and because of this they are keeping restauraunts open despite vaccine proofs. WHenever we go to this places, my bf makes social media posts like "fck the vaccine. who says you need it to eat indoors?" and its embarassing.
Like its one thing to quietly be against it but he's literally making these posts. I dont know how to talk to him about it. And I dont want it to be the end of our relationship but im getting fed up!!! Sorry this post is so long im venting. ANy advice would be apppreciated :(
