Husband not taking it as seriously as me

[Bailey29]

Just after some advice really.

Husband is taking it seriously to a certain extent but thinks I'm overreacting about everything. It's a stressful time and we're all not sure what to do for the best but I'm following the government guidelines. I'm trying to keep a level outlook on things but a difference in opinion is causing some arguments.

He believes all the conspiracy theories etc so thinks all of the advice is a way for the government to control us. He's doing things like not washing hands properly and it's really getting to me. He does it for about 10 seconds and says that's enough, he thinks it's unnecessary to do it for 20.

I feel like he's putting us at risk. It might sound over the top but I don't know how to approach it without causing an argument. It's hard being cooped up together. We get on fine most of the time but I suppose our different views are showing up more at the moment!

I personally would rather be safe than sorry. How can I approach it without being called a control freak!?!

I am in the same situation, i suffer with anxiety on a normal day so atm im feeling so on edge and very scared . My partner just keeps saying it will be fine and the worlds gone mad, but im like how can you say that with all the people that are dying and how can you not be scared that the whole country is on lockdown, and he just says it will all be ok in the end , its just logic and common sense! Sometimes there is just no telling some people!

As long as he's obeying the lockdown, and not going out and about like some idiots, I couldn't get too worried about him washing his hands for 10 seconds rather than 20.
