Arguing with partner over Coronavirus
Davincitoad · 08/03/2020 15:30
Has anyone else fallen out with their significant other over this whole situation? Mine thinks I’m crazy (his own words) and refuses to acknowledge the severity of it all. He wants us to go to NY in summer unless the FCO advise not going. I have said I’m not going unless it’s safe, he told me he will go alone. I feel really alone in having no one to discuss this with as he won’t talk about it at all claiming I’m just hysterical. Anyone else having similar issues?! We barely ever argue but this has become a huge thing.

My husband and I had a huge argument. I can’t home from work and picked up my prescription for birth control and got contact lenses from Costco. He blamed me for putting his family at risk and said I should temporarily move out so I don’t infect anyone. I feel as if I am unwelcome in my home and getting the third degree. For example, he asks me if I washed my hands before coming in the house. I use hand sanitizer and hand soaps are a staple since I wash my hands too often. He said he doesn’t care that he hurt my feelings.

kimmeno1 your partner is a right dick. I bet if you hadnt picked up your birth control he would be the first one to throw a strop when you said no to sex. Birth control and being able to frickin see are perfectly acceptable reasons to leave the house.
I'd tell him to 'temporarily' move out.
I dont think I'd tolerate being called 'hysterical' either op. Maybe he just has the fear. But still..

I would want to go on the New York trip. The only thing that would stop me from booking it now is the possibility of airlines cancelling flights at short notice and difficulty getting money back.
Kimmeno1, your husband is being totally unreasonable. I couldn't live with that, especially if he said that he didn't care about hurting my feelings. I might just call his bluff and move out. Permanently!

Thanks for the responses. He was drinking a last night and admitted to me this morning when he tried to apologize. I am in a tough spot. I feel bullied and if that is how he will speak to me after I did not do anything wrong by going to Costco. He is being totally unreasonable. I understand obsession over corona virus but where I live there are no cases reported. He was reading to me from the CDC website as if I am clueless. He is totally clueless that his drinking is more damaging to our family.
