My husband has given up
He has announced to his parents (who take zero precautions) that we are having dinner indoors at their home with them every week.
He told me asking people to test before we see them is antisocial behavior.
He said operating with the assumption that everyone could potentially be sick is ridiculous.
We took precautions for the last three years and got married last year but has now decided it’s all too much. He says masking in indoor public places is enough but we shouldn’t limit seeing family and friends. I’m feeling a sense of dread and loneliness.
If I bring it up , it turns into a huge argument.
His family knows we’re Covid safe but they don’t get it . We bought them air purifiers but they don’t use them. And now my husband refuses to even remind them that they should have it on at least when we visit.
I feel stuck, my one person who was in it for the long run is now against me. He repeatedly tells me his family cars about me and wants to see me more often but I don’t feel cared for when they don’t do anything to help us feel safe .
Numerous times his family has invited us over to their home and they have symptoms but assured us it’s “just a cold” “just allergies” despite them not testing.
Im grieving . I have given up so much in order to be safe. I gave up my dream wedding so we could have something safer. I rarely see my own family. I have spent so much money on masks, nasal sprays, etc. And now I feel it has all been for nothing, as I am expected to just act normal around his family.
