Husband breaking lockdown

Hermagsjesty · 28/03/2021 09:26

My DH has been getting increasingly lax at following lockdown - he was meeting a friend outdoors for coffee then on one rainy day they moved it indoors, it’s now regularly an indoor thing - it’s now escalated to other friends joining them, indoors. It makes me really anxious & irritated. He thinks it’s a case of everyone has different boundaries - obviously the friends he’s doing it with & their partners are okay with it - & that it’s an “agree to disagree” but to me it feels like a schism in our values & it makes me think less of him as a person. Am I overreacting?

19 people died with coronavirus yesterday. We are at the point where people need to stick to the spirit of lockdown but not the letter

I'm not hysterical

This would be a deal breaker for me. Could you change the locks while he’s out having his coffee?
lol

I'm on your side, OP.
I've also had trouble being nice to friends who I know to have had hairdressers come to their house, who invite people for dinner, ...
It's the "I'm above you all" mindset and the non-respect of other people.

Sorry for your loss but thank you for your sanity.

I know people who have lost parents but what they really need is their lives back.

They want their lives back and feel this has gone on long enough. But hey, do them a favour and dump them as friends. Their lives might be better for it.

People do when it comes to breaking the law, be it theft, speeding etc. I wouldn’t chose to be with someone who thought the laws of the country didn’t apply to them so he would be sleeping over at the friends house.

Probably be a blessing for them!

I'd think less of him as a person too OP, it would probably eat away at me.
