Anyone else have a S.O who is anti covid vax? If so, how do you deal with it?

While I do believe people should have freedom of choice, but it’s different when it’s someone close like your spouse/gf

I know that sounds contradicting.

Respect their choice or your relationship is doomed if you're already thinking of pushing your SO to get it.

To be fair, a lot of people would ridicule the decision not to vax, so your family is not alone in their judgement.

there’s only one way to deal with it, either you respect them and don’t try to control them and let them make their own decisions or you decide it’s too big of a deal for you and you leave

Pretty much none of my extended family have gotten the vaccine. I've asked them to go to their doctor and have a conversation about it, but the responses I've gotten to that aren't great.

People need to do what they feel is best I suppose, but know there are consequences. I don't expect to allow anyone to see our newborn if they are unvaxxed. At least not until they reach daycare age.

Exactly, which is why testing is better than vaccination if you really care about that.

Two women that I know, both in low to mid 50’s and both not vaxed, had been hospitalized for the past week or so and ended up on ventilators. They both died today. Both of their husbands are vaccinated. I have read communications from both now widowers urging people to get vaccinated to avoid this tremendous heartbreak.

Are you ok with their reasons for not getting vaccinated? When it comes to relationships, you’re going to have differences in opinions. However sometimes there are core things and principles you don’t want to compromise on and that’s something only you can answer.
