No relationship is perfect.

How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
Thanks everyone for the intial responses and follow-ups. I've deleted the original post. It made me feel better just to write about it. Writing is like therapy for me, but now it's time to carry on without the story remaining online for the world to see. Back to offering support for others instead of being the center of my own little pity party.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
These are stressful times for everyone and I think a lot of relationships are being effected.... I hope that if it's what you both want you can get past this
I am following the laws set out here and listening to public health ....I have had surgery during this time and everyone in the hospital and my specialist are following the guidelines set out very carefully .... It isn't political to them... It's life sustaining
I know that frustration levels are up... I think sometimes it's best to leave some topics alone when you don't agree. and if you're both following the guidelines then you're doing what's been asked of you even if you don't agree with it all
Big hug....xo
My husband and I are very different people. Nothing has put a brighter spot light on that than this time in our world. We have both been dialing back heavy conversations and major decision making at the moment. Right now I’d rather be happy than right.
For me, I don't think so much that happiness is overrated but more a matter of interpretation, maybe more a choice, act of will, somewhere in between. Not sure. The idea of happy vs right is more my go to when I feel like, "what am I fighting for or why am I holding on to an idea so tightly for or what does it really matter anyway. "
For me happiness is not letting other people's opions really matter to me personally that much. I mean, I listen to my husband. But if I'm honest, we aren't going to change each other's opinions so we accept the differences. If we didn't, it's not sustainable. I can't control how someone feels, thinks, handles this madness we are in at the moment. All I can handle is myself. As the old saying goes, opinions are like a-holes... everyone's got one.
With that said, she is a jerk for casting a shadow on your character, and for breaking mutually upon agreements in the relationship. And that is crap. But that has nothing to do with COVID.
