Long time partnership.

I suppose it's brought into focus for me how utterly selfish he is.

I knew this before, but it wasn't out on view as much, you know.

One of the main bugbears I have with him is that he refuses to social distance from others.

The other day me, OH, and DC were walking down a pavement. An elderly woman we were approaching very obviously tried to gauge if we were going to distance, I did and told DC to do so. The poor old lady pulled up her mask as OH marched right past her. SadSad.

Then went on to admonish DC for listening to me and distancing. AngryAngry.

I've just lost all respect for him.

He hasn't actually broken any other rules throughout but that's just circumstance, not because he cares about others. He's doesn't have friends or family he sees often and doesn't really go places. He does wear a mask in shops.

When I was really nervous at the beginning of the pandemic, all the unknown etc, he was less than supportive, and just snapped at me.

I don't know what I'm trying to ask, I guess if the situation has damaged anyone else's relationships, OH or otherwise.

I get that this is just bringing to the fore what's already there. Before his attitude was easier to ignore for larger periods of time.
