We have been married now for six years, going on 7 … And I feel like he is so selfish and inconsiderate. We have one daughter and a baby on the way… With this pandemic going on in the world… he finds it very convenient to just interact with people with wear a mask, and I constantly have to baby him and remind him to sanitize… I am so over having to talk to a grown man more than talking about this to my 4 year old… I told him that he would move out and go stay at his mother’s house. I will not put myself and my baby’s lives at risk of getting anything… Just yesterday my aunt died due to covid. His dad was diagnosed as well. He is constantly seeing people close to use dying because of this, and still it is so damn ignorant… I am considering having a divorce coz I can’t deal with a selfish person like this. I am over it!.
Wow. You are ridiculous!
That’s awful about your aunt, but you sound completely unbearable
If i was the husband i would be the one filing for divorce.
Protect your family…he is a moron
Clearly his family isn’t his top priority. Selfish people are the worst.
Your inconsiderate as well, and sounds as if your quite controlling. You sound ridiculous
Your only looking out for your family and he shud know better. Selfish man.
Would rather live than to hide!!! Everyone has an “end date” in this world & I refuse to live in fear!
Let him live with his mother, make him understand. As a husband and a father, he should not be putting your lives at risk. He should be the number one person to know that.
Ha ha ha, getting a divorce over not sanitizing.
I’m sure this is not his first act of selfishness and incosideration…no matter what’s going on. If your not happy leave…but remember…you will split a family unit and have to share time with your kids. They will be with you half the time sanitized…and half the time with him doing whatever he thinks is necessary.
Toss him out with a bag of masks, hand sanitizer, and say sorry I forgot I was married, scram.
You need to get a grip.
Wooooooow…you sound immature and controlling. Wanting to get a divorce bc your husband chooses not wearing mask half the time or sanitizing his hands. Yeeeeahh you reeeally love your husband don’t ya? If you’re wanting to get a divorce over something like that you need to reevaluate yourself
That mask isn’t going to save you. research that sanitizer and all ingredients. Life is a gamble,grab reality.
If he gets sick that will put her and the unborn child and their child at risk and in harm’s way it is not too much to ask to sanitize more and social distancing is in effect. But maybe a divorce is much… me and family stay home social distance my son is home schooled. We sanitize everything even when we purchase or answer the door…it’s the new normal and not too much to ask especially your partner and people need to think BC the pandemic is still on going.
WOW!!! Sorry you have a husband that is only thinking of his self!!! keep your children safe and you God bless
As a person who has had Covid and recovered. It is definitely not something you would want to have while pregnant or have your child get it. If he doesn’t want to protect the household. Send him to his mom. It’s not being unreasonable it’s being cautious. Take care and stay safe. Some people don’t realize how bad it is until they get.
Divorce him and give him the kids so they can ALL be happy and you can go elsewhere to continue being miserable.
You sound like you need to calm down lady. Your poor husband.
Obviously you don’t mind his company too much if you got pregnant during this pandemic you’re so worried about.
Please, do what you must to protect yourself and the children. I almost died of Covid-19 last year, twice! My body had the auto-immune storm, part of my lung died, I have blood clots, rashes, irregular heartbeat, fatigue, vertigo, ongoing sleep and eating problems. It is NO JOKE, You are not the problem for not wanting to tolerate the selfishness, I’m sure it crosses over into other areas as well. A good husband should be the first in line to step up and protect his family, this juvenile, carefree, nothing to lose attitude is a huge problem in the leadership of the family. Having to be your husband’s ‘Mommy’ is such a romance and sex killer, too. I totally understand.
Tell him to just FUCK OFF!
Yall give her a break…its scary being pregnant during a pandemic (I delivered 09/30 so I was pregnant the whole time. I will say i don’t think it’s a reason to get divorced over (that might be your hormones overreacting a pinch) i just wouldn’t let him near me unless he was clean. Talk to him and show him how much it means to you.
I am sorry for the loss of your aunt Work with him and tell him how it makes you feel. We are so quick to react these days instead of having a conversation. It sounds like you are scared and fearful. I can I understand this but to divorce because he isn’t doing as you want isn’t the solution. God bless
I think more that he is not being sensitive to your feeling and I made my husband move out because he didn’t wear a mask and I won’t risk my or my kids life because he can’t choose to wear a mask out in public sorry but not sorry
Some groups of people are mean and ignorant. These are not your people.
Journeys of a woman should be renamed to bashing other women
Someone has been successfully brainwashed with the majority… So sad
Your problems are bigger than the pandemic.
This is rediculous ! Report him instead
This is the most petty comments section I’ve ever read . Some people just aren’t as scared of it. Some people are.
wash your hands. Wear your mask. But know that you’re eventually gonna get it. So why live miserable all the time. He definitely needs to consider your feelings better but you acting like a tantrum will stop it -isn’t going to get either of you where you need to be. Time for a calm sit down. Good luck. lol
The hate from some of these comments. Jeez.
Ever been pregnant and in a pandemic before? No!
She’s emotional, scared and losing loved ones b.c of covid. You have every right to want your husband to take it seriously, but Getting divorced over it, may be the hormones talking.
I would try to meet him in the middle w. How you would like him to be safe. Talk to him about how much this means to you. Have him get tested…If he wants to not care, then he shouldn’t mind. Idk, I think asking to wash your hands is a pretty simple and easy task. GL
The fear of covid will destroy your marriage.
If my marriage is not already in trouble, I would talk to him and make sure he understands the importance of my issues. I would make sure he knows I’m practically over this marriage, and if wants to work towards it, I will too, and if not, let’s just divorce now and stop wasting each other’s time.
Read between the lines! She thinks he don’t care! That’s the issue!
They should screen the questions before posting on this page…im unfollowing
I’m high risk pregnant during this, have lost a few family members during this. My husband works around other people, my kids go to public school during this, and we still hang out with friends. “Being pregnant during a pandemic” is only scary if u fall victim to stupidity. Divorce him so he can go find someone who isn’t a fucking Karen
There is the possibility of going overboard with sanitizing and precautions. I say this as someone who did lose my grandma to covid. You can’t sterilize your life.
Take a chill pill seriously if you want a divorce get a divorce but don’t use the pandemic as an excuse
Your fears are realistic…what would happen if you got sick now, what would happen if you were sick when baby was delivered. It is reasonable to be afraid, and upset that he isn’t taking it as serious as you would hope. Time to sit down and have a calm discussion with him. Explain to him your fears. Explain the precautions you feel need to be taken to make you feel safe. And explain what you will do to protect yourself should he not follow these BOUNDARIES you are setting for your safety. Then let him chose for himself. " If you can follow the safety precautions I need to feel safe then I will stay in the home with you, if you chose not to follow the safety precautions, I will feel unsafe, and chose to take child and stay with my parents until the danger has passed" …I wouldn’t jump to divorce. But I would follow through with staying somewhere else if he refused to take precautions. Then he will either like his freedom and chose not to be safe, or he will miss you enough he will respect your wishes so that he can be with you…
Leave and don’t look back. Don’t make sure the kids see him because they do not need to be around someone who doesn’t put their safety first. Run!
I see some of you folks response nd wonder how we as humans HV lost all sense of empathy. For God sakes, we are talking of a pregnant woman nd a Lil baby. Wat wud become of them if the test positive for covid? Do u know how that Lil baby wud suffer?? Do u know wat might happen to the unborn child or the woman? Dear poster yes at this point u need to be selfish to protect yourself, unborn child and ur Lil girl if your husband is being selfish and wudnt wanna do the right thing. U don’t have to divorce him dear, pls try having a heart to heart talk with him. Let him see the dangers he’s putting u and the kids in by not following the right protocols, even himself. If then there’s no change, u cn move out of the house to maybe your family home till u give birth. Sending u hugs and lots of love❤
Lol
Get over it… Jesus
If you’re wanting a divorce then there is more to your story. Don’t use a pandemic as a crutch to rid yourself of someone.
I don’t think the problem is him or the pandemic…
Your feelings are understandable. Stick to your stand and make it very clear to him.
If your wanting a divorce because of covid, there is definitely more to it. My husband wont wear a mask but I’m not divorcing him over it and we have 3 kids at home. If your wanting a divorce, it not him nor the pandemic… its your excuse.
I think you may just be a little too emotional understandable that people died due to this Covid however it is a respiratory issue and I’m sure at some point we will all have it or have had it
Being pregnant can have one frustrated at the smallest things, since you don’t have control over your hormones or feelings, divorcing him is not the answer, i just think you really need to talk to him about the repercussions of his carelessness, even though you already have multiple times, it won’t hurt to talk with a sincere heart
I think you are ott…
A lot of people don’t believe Its as bad as they say.
Myself, my fiance and 2 co workers just got our and not one of us feel it was a big deal for us. In consideration seems to be your problem
Then get a divorce. You would probably be doing him a favor it sounds like.
Is… is this a joke? He’s not the only one taking this lightly. Constantly sanitizing isn’t good for you either. Don’t live in fear, the more you worry, the more your immune system suppresses.
Start researching this “pandemic” for yourself. Do not use FB or Google. Believe it or not, there are many ways to find information. What you are listening to on the news is just one side of the story. I can tell you what I think, but I’m a stranger. Until you dig, and find the truth for yourself, whatever we say, doesn’t matter.
Dehors à coup de pieds au cul s’il ne change pas .Pas de risque à prendre
Same thing to me and my man but losing my mom almost fixed it
I wonder after this is all said n done - what damage the excessive use of chemicals have caused on people.
But this, idk… “Mommy why did you divorce daddy”
“Hunny he didn’t take the covid-19 pandemic seriously”
Lol. Find a common middle this pandemic has also intensified people’s anxiety to a whole new level causing them to be unreasonably OCD.
Let him do him. My husband does not wear masks and I do when we are Inside and can’t distance unless it’s my bubble people. The more you get on people the worse it is I’ve reaLized. You can’t live in fear.
We have a 17 month old so I get trying to protect your children but at the same token if they go to school or daycare who knows what other kids are exposed to or what not.
I realized that when my daughter started daycare A few months ago theirs easily 70 people even split up in groups of 10 they all still touch and interact as kids or the Teachers changing the kids etc.
My husband works outside the house and deals with all sorts of clients and they will be sending us back in offices soon for a few hours a week.
So at this point just do your dillgance and you will be fine.
We sanitize do extra laundry he showers when he comes home especially on the long days and strips at the door
It’s ok for him not to be concerned. He is allowed to have thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that differ from yours.
I worry about our 1 year old getting it because she has a heart condition, so for her anything really could turn into an issue.
But.
My husband doesn’t feel much worry over Covid in its entirety. I’m not going to get divorced because he feels different? Maybe the way you phrase things is coming off rude. It’s selfish to demand he do as you say because you’re scared and he isn’t. I instead say, “I know you’re not worried, but it worries me. Will you please just wear the mask, spray your tools with disinfectant, etc?” And when you’re respectful of his beliefs, you might find he is respectful of yours.
I get your frustration… but really … you’re being maybe a little extra emotional . I hope it works out. Divorce seems way too extreme.
I mean, I really doubt you’re constantly losing people to Covid and are super exaggerating, but it’s not going away anyyyytime soon and life has to go on. Divorce isn’t the answer for something like this, that’s so petty you actually might do him a favor then
This pandemic is a crock of shit.
Do some research that isn’t fed to you by main stream media, FB, and Google.
And not trying to be insensitive here because I’m sure some of the Covid deaths are actually Covid.
Did they actually die from covid? Or just happen to test positive for it at the time?
Lady the selfish person Is u …sounds like ur making excuses to get ur husband out of the picture…grow the hell up …lil ones don’t need drama
Doesn’t matter rather you wear a mask, sanitize etc. If it is your turn to get then you’ll get it. I know people who have done it all and even stayed home other than working and still got it. My sister had it, my cousin passed from it which he had a lot of health problem. My ex step sister had it. My 2 nieces had it. My step mom. The list goes on. I wouldn’t divorce him just because of that. You just keep doing what you’re doing. That’s all you can do and hope for the best. Like I said, it doesn’t matter either way.
I am 29 weeks pregnant.
My husband goes to work everyday. I go out when I have to. I wear the damn mask to make people happy.
But we live our lives. I think you are being a little dramatic.
Not everyone folds over and lives under a rock.
That’s not a reason for a divorce
Divorce? With 2 babies? You would break up your family over this? Just make sure he follows the basic guidelines, you’ll be ok! I think it’s time to grow up!
I’m sorry that you lost your family members but I feel like you guys have had problems long before the pandemic, if you’re wanting to divorce him for not wearing a mask. I’m a nurse and I’ve had people sanitize, wear a mask and follow everything by the book and still get covid. I’ve also known people that didn’t wear a mask and haven’t got covid.
Do him a favor girl! Get that divorce, ur not his mother…
He is his own person… if he’s so inconsiderate, etc. I’m sure you knew this before you got married. Sorry but you signed up for better or worse & you’re letting a pandemic get between your marriage lol
If your willing to divorce over this, then I say do it for his sake… there is always going to conflicting views about this. I’ve worked in the public this entire time, with my daughter attending in person school the entire time, with family helping watch her when I work…if you love him try to talk to him as work out a compromise. The whole it’s my way or the highway is definitely not a healthy relationship and it’s not fair to think someone is always gonna have the same beliefs as you.
I’m so sorry to hear about your Aunt. Loosing someone close to you is very hard. I understand you are worried but don’t take it all out on him. I’m sure you still leave your house for shopping and appointments. Every time we leave our safe place we put ourselves at risk. Hiding away is only going to stress your family out more. We will all day of something. Could be a car accident or cancer or who knows what. Love your husband while you have him
Girl that’s what we do as wives, we remind our husbands/ manchild to do what they don’t think to do. That’s why we are their “helpmate”. You just reaching for a reason for divorce and not using hand sanitizer and not wearing a mask is not good enough. Grow up.
U r one of them fanatics.
Sounds like a divorce would be a good thing for him lol…
I’m sorry but this covid flu strain isn’t going away… this whole thing was political and about propaganda. I hate that people are dying but I hated when people were dying of the flu.
I dont understand how you can just say that its okay to leave 5 plus years of marriage with 2 kids and call it quits because you can’t agree to what he’s doing. We are human and we need human interaction. It’s been a year and people are still acting like its new because of the media.
I mean you’re being told to wear a mask then you’re told not too then you need 2 or 3? To what extent will you or anyone see whats really going on here…
Im sorry that hes not wanting to fully understand where you’re coming and im truly sorry that yall lost family and those close to you. But honestly a divorce isn’t the answer
Please grow up
Divorce over this?
It’s clear here why the US is in the situation it is. Sorry your husband is an idiot. You are right to take precautions and that you shouldn’t have to remind a grown man to take those steps too. To protect his family. If you have other legit reasons to leave him as well as this then get your affairs in order and go🤷🏻♀️
To be fearful instills fear in those who listen to us, That’s why your 4yo listens more than your husband when it comes to the virus, He isn’t scared, Your 4yo is going by your emotions though, It isnt obedience it’s fear.
My husband i have to remind to germ x. Its a guy thing sometimes unfortunately I baby mine like that too always reminding wear a mask and sanitize lol it drives him crazy but it is what it is
There is more to this story… divorce?..she’s cheating
Lol. Wow. Seems like you’re looking for a reason to leave your husband.
Did people miss the point that she is pregnant? That puts her at a high risk because during pregnancy you immunity drops so you don’t reject your baby. She isn’t being unreasonable. He is putting her life and HIS unborn child’s life in danger over and over.
Do you have a problem with him going to work as well?
The comments on here are so ignorant. Try reading an article from John’s Hopkins, or the National Institute of Health people, not Fox news. YOU ARE NOT SELFISH FOR WANTING TO PROTECT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN. The ailments MILLIONS of people are suffering from are real, and they are spreading because of people not taking it seriously enough. As for advice, my husband and I are on the same page about household rules. Seems like you need to not scold him, and let him know its about the family’s health and he needs to take it more seriously. I can definitely understand your frustration, but I wouldn’t jump to divorce right yet. Try and find some middle ground, and establish rules and boundries that you can compromise on.
Lol you’re mad about what he’s doing now while you’re still married. Imagine how he would be if you divorced him You’d be real mad then when the kids have to go visit him & they come home & tell you they did this & that & didn’t use sanitizer
This pandemic has put a lot of additional stress on families but you also said for better or worse. These are trying times, grant him some patience and grace
If you are considering a divorce then this is not the issue., but the cherry on the icing for you to throw in the towel
Girl, this is not grounds for divorce.
I think you have way bigger issues if you are considering divorce over this. My husband has literally taken no precautions during this. My kids and me pretty much stay home as I am complete opposite and really worried about it.
I know the virus isn’t going anywhere and eventually will have to find a new normal. Even i know I can’t expect my husband to live in the same fear I do.
You can be afraid all you want but you can’t force others to do and feel the same things you do.
I can see why covid-19 hit the US as hard as it did. The lack of intellect and the fact that science and medicine is being completely ignored here is very clear in these comments. You have every right to be fed up with him. You have every right to want to divorce him, if he’s inconsiderate over the lives of his family, imagine what else he’s inconsiderate about. I have a feeling this goes deeper than covid, I have a feeling this is an exhausted woman who is tired of fighting for herself and her space in her marriage, a woman who’s tired of catering to a man who is not considerate of anyone around him, not even his own wife.
i mean… isn’t it in sickness or health, till death due us part… you can’t divorce him because of that😂
Also, the lack of empathy for a fellow woman, a sister, who is looking for advice and understanding from other moms, is really disgusting. You laugh at others pain, you laugh at their distress, how miserable and hateful you must be to laugh at someone else’s distress.
Divorce him over his lack of concern for Coronavirus? Yeah, you seem like a real peach to live with!
I had the same issue with my husband while I was pregnant. Its literally like have another child. He’s catching on now because I’m not giving up and the bitching will continue if he doesn’t do what he’s supposed to. Idk I think its a man thing
I feel like you’re just super hormonal tbh and maybe over thinking or you’re looking for a reason to leave and this is an excuse …
If your man is willfully disregarding you, your child, and your unborn child’s health, and a conversation about how it makes you feel isn’t enough for him to do his part to make you feel secure, then he never had any regard for your feelings to begin with. Had this conversation once with the father of my child and now he wears his mask religiously. Now do I have to remind him to wash his hands every time we step in the house, yes. But the fact that he listened and has made attempts to make me feel like our family’s health is important to him was all I needed. As a fellow pregnant woman with health issues of my own I completely understand where she’s coming from.
I think so many people are living completely in fear with absolute faith in masks and it’s really so darn sad. Do not lose your marriage over this. We could all die at any second. Try to do the best you can but take a deep breath and relax. I’ve lost a lot of people too in my lifetime. Enjoy the people you love. We are so not in control of this.
