@OutOfLine I accept, obviously, that I don't know the background, and wasn't party to the conversation. All we know from MN is a tiny snapshot of a conversation between the two of you. And you know, when you post on MN, that people will jump to conclusions in their responses. You are obviously willing to take that on the chin, or you wouldn't post here.
So if we accept (rightly) that nobody was there when you had this conversation, and that we are making up fictions - let's still accept that relationships are very, very complex, and we are only hearing one side of the story. This happens to be yours. But your husband might post something completely different.
The issue is in fact much bigger than your marital dispute (which will blow over).
I am not having the vaccine, despite having been offered it. This is partly because I think I had Covid very early on, so it is unnecessary. It is also because I have been out every day since last March, and if I hadn't already had it in January 2020, I am quite sure I would have picked it up since then. It is also because, even if I catch it now, I would rather have proper immunity, not synthetic immunity.
FWIW, I am no stranger to "Long Flu", even though it doesn't deserve a name, because nobody genuflects to flu (and rightly so). Flu, for me, means pneumonia, hospital, ventilators. But I don't expect the world to stop for this.
I think, in short, that your DH is trying in a stupid way to say that there is more to life than Covid.
