Breakdown due to opinions on covid 19

[User24689]

Hello

I just wondered if there was anyone else out there who is facing difficulties in their relationship due to differing approaches/ standpoints on the covid 19 situation.

In my situation, my husband is quite sceptical about the whole thing and has been for some time. Thinks it's an overreaction and won't have the vaccine.

I don't want to go into too many details because I have posted before and been accused of trolling or trying to convert others/ stir up antivaxxers, which isn't at all what I am doing.

I am just seeking support. I have extreme anxiety about the whole thing, honestly it is ripping my life apart and I have no one to talk to. I feel like I just want to wake up from this nightmare and go back to 2019. I cried for 3 days straight last week. I think the vaccine reaching our age group really amplified everything for me and I am just not coping.

So I thought if there is anyone out there who can relate to anything in saying who will let me pm them, I would try that. Even if it is the other way around in your relationship?

Thank you in advance!

If relevant I am 32 and we have been together for 5 years and have a baby.

Feel free to pm me if you need a friendly ear.

I have the same although slight reversed. He has OCD so is taking it really far, quarantined letters for 3days before opening, sanitising all shopping and anything that goes through the door, including insisting I have a full shower once I've got to his, he hasn't been in a shop or public transport for over a year, doesn't see people. Where as I want some normality back, I'm still careful but not extreme. It's really effecting our relationship and how I feel about him.

I have the same issue but in reverse. He respects my opinion and I respect his, but it’s still bloody hard sometimes. Such a crap situation to be in

@Opplesandbononos that sounds incredibly hard, I feel for both of you.

@roberta268 it is crap isn't it. Do you have anyone in real life that shares your views? I think the.problem for us is he feels completely on his own and I also feel like I have to hide a lot of it as it is so unacceptable in our very covid cautious family and friendship circle. I feel we are going to lose everyone because of covid.

@onestepforwardoneback thank you i think I will when I get a moment
