Hello everyone. This is a long read, I apologize in advance. I have been with my husband for 7 years. Before covid, we had a very healthy, and happy relationship. I work from home part time (disabled) and he works factory work. He brought covid home in 2020 & he recovered quickly with no consequences. I am overweight, have lupus, and potentially other autoimmune disorders, and now pots and who knows what else from Covid. I have never felt the same since getting Covid. I am always so scared of getting it. I have totally adjusted my life. I haven't gone to Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthdays, Restaurants, anything in going on 4 years now. I use curbside everything. I haven't met most of my friends babies, the list is never ending of the adjustments I've made to protect my life. However, I keep getting it from my Husband. He refuses to wear a mask at work, refuses to wear a mask period. He has been going to indoor concerts, athletic events, etc. The list is never ending of all the things he does and goes to. And always brings home sicknesses, not just covid but influenza etc. Between work and his extremely social life, I feel like I am fighting a losing battle. No matter what I do to keep myself safe, he sabotages. We haven't kissed in months because he keeps getting sick, it seems like he just doesn't give a crap about me. I have told him my concerns and his response is always something like, "when its our time to go, its our time to go." Some typical response from him. But, I feel like no matter who I would ever be with, they would never respect me and wear a mask. I just don't know what to do anymore. Do I just stop my precautions because he's ruining them? Do I file for divorce? I truly never thought this would ever happen. Especially over a virus. I don't get how this keeps destroying my life. I am so frustrated and sad. He was in a packed arena tonight at the state capitol, didn't wear a mask even though he's just getting over influenza and pneumonia. I hope someone reads this and can help me understand these emotions. I feel trapped too, I hate having to do all these things and protect myself, and not see my family. This all hurts so terribly.
