My boyfriend's two best friends are having weddings in the next couple of months, despite COVID being widespread across our state. My boyfriend is standing up to the first wedding and will be a guest in the second one. He is very upset because I expressed that I am not comfortable going to large gatherings (50+ people) because of our state's COVID numbers and because we are both high-risk.
My boyfriend is dead-set on attending both weddings and we had a huge fight because I told him how uncomfortable I was and that I felt like he was making me feel like I had to choose between my health and making him happy. I flat out told him I don't think I want to attend because I know both wedding parties do not believe in COVID, social distancing, or wearing masks and I feel like getting sick would be inevitable. My boyfriend took this very personally and is saying that I don't want to go because I don't like his friends, that he absolutely has to go because he is standing up in wedding, and that he was counting me on going.
It breaks my heart that he thinks this is a direct attack on him. How do I explain my concern without ruining our relationship? We have been together for five years and I would 100% attend if we didn't have a global pandemic going on.
TLDR; boyfriend has multiple friends that are going through with weddings during COVID-19. I told him I don't think I can attend because we are both high risk.
