Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

[Ninjasquirrel]

Don’t count on that. My DH and I had that. City of Stockton declared bankruptcy and all our contracts were void. Here i am paying 700 dollars a month for crappy insurance. The state of the economy now I wouldn’t put any stock into having lifetime medical with any job.

DH had thought about quitting if they tried to force a mandate on him. But he'd lose his pension then. Plus if the mandate was enforced he wouldnt have been able to find employment without the vaccine. I imagine he feels damned if he does and damned if he doesnt.

Maybe start a 'ninjas marriage problems' thread and leave this one for COVID?
Sorry, but, really.

Sorry but not sorry? You can simply ignore my content if you dont like it. Off topic discussions are allowed and my hubby is so angry over things in part due to Covid. Its not my "marriage problems" its a problem with how covid has effected me.

Yes I am very glad to be out of the work force. It is hard because I know we take things out on the people that are closest to us because that is safer than going ballistic on friends or co workers. Does he have an employee assistance program. You could do a short counseling system

Sound advice. I suppose I am being a little prideful. I wouldnt say he doesnt have time to decompress. Especially yesterday because he was home a whole hour before I arrived home. He just gets in a mood like he wants to fight over anything. Its like he just wants to be angry or have something to be angry about. When I point this out to him he reflects inward instead of outward i.e. at me. Then he calms down and we're good. I think the problem is hes not expressing his frustrations with work to me so instead hes doing so AT me. Perhaps he doesnt feel heard or perhaps I'm not bringing it up properly or I'm shutting it down without considering his vulnerability. I can definitely tell when he had a good day at work versus a bad day. Either way its a two way street. I suppose I have to listen more and talk less and he has to talk more and express himself in a constructive way. Its just frustrating that I seem to have to be the voice of reason when hes being unreasonable. Hes stressed about a lot and covid isnt helping at all. Hes mad that people at work arent doing their job, mad about masking, mad about mandates, mad about taxes...just mad. He puts so much pressure on himself. I really wish there was something I could do to pull him out of this rut but I'm not sure where to begin

To keep it brief. 1. It’s not your job to pull him out (yes you want to, but it’s not your responsibility) 2. You can’t be his “savior” (that’s too much pressure on you-also see first point.) 3. I really recommend if you don’t do couples counseling that he at least gets counseling. It seems there’s a lot going on and it’s more than you can/should handle.

I think what he really needs is a vacation. Just time to decompress and take his mind off everything. I doubt he would personally get counseling. Covid ending would help too. I'm just gonna try to keep him away from the news as much as possible and be patient with him. After I finish with the taxes I'll start planning our honeymoon so he can have some time to decompress. I know he has to pull himself out of the hole because he dug it himself. But giving him a ladder or a rope couldnt hurt.

Here is one that won't be reported by the legacy media (except to nitpick it to nit pick it to death.)

Economists pretend to be epidemiologists

These Economists are know-nothings who jump on stage and pretend to be Epidemiologists while being incredibly ignorant of that field. This is what needs to happen to the Economists who have such big egos that they think they're Epidemiologists.

The world would be a better place if we churned out 1/4 of the Economics majors we do.

Sorry, but, really.

This thread is about our life with covid. The stress of things now is real and it can hurt relationships. I believe she is on target in this thread sorry if you feel different.

A vacay could help in the short term-but I feel in the long run things will just continue to resurface. I hope you guys do get to finally take your honeymoon though. Time away from it all just the two of you can be very beneficial

Possibly, but the answer is not purely medical. I didn't think they tried to pretend to be doctors, just brought a cost analysis to the picture.
Medicine has not cured mortality. The death rate, over time, is still 100%. We could stop traffic deaths by automobile by outlawing cars and trucks but I don't think it would improve longevity.
The economy and medical advancement work togather.

I am so sorry things are this way. As others have stated it is not your job to control him. When you start manipulating he will never learn how to control himself. You keep him from the news you guide him to different things. What happens when you can't do this and he is completely unable to control hisself? I have been down this road. I do not want to over step and say more then what you want to hear so I will just ask you what really do you want? You will never change him, he has to do that.
