Hi all, can I pose a question to you? I'm 60 and have been in a relationship with a woman a few years younger than me for a while and we've been getting on fine in every way, however in recent times things have been getting a little tetchy, because of my condition and the medication I have to take, I've had all three jabs for safety. My partner has not been jabbed, but has promised so many times that she would book herself in for them.
Until she does, I'm having to limit myself where I go, what I do and who I see and when I get home, I have to wash my hands and use the sanitation spray, I do anyway, but it's getting to the point where I'm being nagged. Even if I'm at home and she calls me, she asks where I've been and did I wash and clean my hands, I confirm I have, but still get the lecture of, "I'm not jabbed yet and you have be careful because you cannot be passing covid on to me". I confirm that I've done all this and feel very belittled. Basically, I'm having to live my life in a strict regime.
She will not leave the without a mask and constantly lectures taxi drivers and bus drivers (she cannot drive), it's got to the point where two of the local taxi companies are now boycotting her. She's become so hung up on covid, she decided 6 months ago that we would not have sex or any form of personal relationship until covid is all clear, I didn't think she would continue, but here we are, almost in 2022 and she's sticking to her guns. I even have to wear a mask in her house and adhere to her washing rules and regulations.
I was sitting at home this morning and got to thinking that I'm putting my life on hold because she has not been jabbed. So, I called her up and asked her if she was going to get booked in, she announced that she's not going to bother as there are too many side effects and doesn't want a foreign chemical in her body. Over the years she's travelled the world and the injections/vacinations she's had to cover her travelling will be many, so why refuse the current jabs? She has no reason, she just refuses and the current variation has got her even more in a panic.
This situation is really getting on my nerves now, I'm scrupulously clean in every way, do not take any risks when out, have not met up with any friends at all and heven't ventured anywhere without doing my homework prior. So my question is, am I being stupid by going along with her wishes or should I just call it a day?
There are so many other things I could mention, but it's pointless as it'ss more or less going over the same ground.
Thank you.
