Is this manipulation???

So my boyfriend of 1 year who I was also best friends with for a year prior, had been having some issues with the way my parents are dealing with this whole Coronavirus thing. I’m 21 and he’s 23, and we take every precaution that our state is recommending (masks when out in public, social distancing, only leaving the house for food ect.) with the exception of seeing each other every once and a while. My parents are very against that and we’ve gotten into arguments about it and I understand they want to keep us safe but I don’t think it would hurt to see one person outside my household. I asked him what he thought about everything and he said he thinks my parents are being dumb and that he’s upset that they think his apartment is more dangerous than the grocery store. I talked to my mom about it and she said she thinks he’s being manipulative. She doesn’t think he’s doing it intentionally but she still thinks he’s doing it. On top of that she also thinks he manipulated me when we first started dating because I was hesitant to start dating again and he said “okay I don’t want to pressure you. I care about you enough that if you need to take some time without seeing each other to figure things out I would do that”. I’m really afraid to be in a relationship with a manipulative person because I have PTSD from a boyfriend I dated before who was manipulative. So I thought I’d ask a neutral source. Do you guys think these are manipulative behaviors???
