All I can say is, I hope for the rest of you, the person you live with. Believes 6 ft away from from people will help you and other people won’t get this virus. My husband won’t do it it. It gives me so much anxiety, first I cared about him besides my self, but please don’t think I’m horrible, but I only care about myself and others, not him any more. He acts more and more like his father, as he gets older.

You don't have to keep 6ft away from each other in the house. Is this what's making you more anxious?

This is if you have to go outside for essential food shopping or Medical need.

Does your husband go outside a lot?

Is he breaking the rules by going outside and not keeping 6ft / 2 metres away from other people?

In the UK calls to the Domestic Abuse Helplines have now increased by as much as 120% on one day (according to TV news).

The police have also increased support:

For anyone who feels unable to speak on the phone they have asked that the caller - after pressing 999 on a mobile then presses 55 . They don't have to speak.

Are you still having your good delivered? Are you staying in all the time?

in reply toMary-intussuception

This is not inside , it’s outside, stores anyplace he goes. Even when walking ,people see he’s not moving 6 ft away, so they quickly walk on the street. I would never tell someone I live with to stay 6 ft away from from me in our home. I’m sorry you interrupted what I said wrong❤️

Sorry, I just wanted to clarify as I thought you said in an earlier post you would not suggest he did his own food shop.

Are you saying that you go out together walking in the street? I thought you were getting your food delivered from Jewel?

in reply toMary-intussuception

Yes jewel does deliver to my house food, he go other place Home Depot, post office, goes to get cigarettes . He makes fun of people doing the right thing for all. Yes I was walking with him ,now I don’t. People see him not distancing, so they rush to get to the street.

in reply toMary-intussuception

Yes delivery for groceries come to my home. Drive though for my drugs. I need to get outside to take walks ,but I stay 6 ft away, he will not, so now I won’t walk with him anymore❤️

I thought people were supposed to stay indoors.

He may not be able to do it soon as going out for exercise could be banned if they increase the restrictions.

in reply toMary-intussuception

I live in the suburbs, so you can still walk while staying 6 ft apart, everyone does it but him.

I'm surprised no one has reported him yet.

in reply toMary-intussuception

I wish someone would, but we have new neighbors around here ,young families who don’t know him ,we are older people staying in our home for 35 years

You can report him. Anonymously if you prefer. Rather than phone you could call into your nearest police station and ask if you could have a word, in confidence, with your Neighbourhood Sergeant. State that you don't want to receive a phone call or visit to the house but if someone could have a word with him when he is out walking - but they must make sure not to mention you.

Ask them to include the area where your husband walks in their patrols, show them a photo or give a description.

in reply toMary-intussuception

Thank you, right now I just got up from true nightmares, I have ptsd . Because of now and the isolation, and him they make it far worse. I am shaking, and can’t stop crying,

Could you call your grandchildren now ?

If not call a doctor?

Do you have a Mental Health Nurse or a Crisis Team you can call?

Can't remember what country you are in - are you in UK?

If in the UK phone the Out-of-hours GP service.

in reply toMary-intussuception

I’ve had these for 14 years now, done every therapy I could do, nothing has worked. The drs. told me there’s noting else to do, but cope with it, I’m better now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

Well, I didn't know that !

We live and learn.

ps

Many years ago (as a student) I worked part-time for Greek Cypriots. I was invited to a family Baptism in the Greek Orthodox Church. I remember the reception was like the reception we'd have after a Wedding. In those days people didn't have the big celebrations that they have now after a Baptism. I never knew that Easter was on a different date though.

in reply toMary-intussuception

They still have christening like that. Most of the time Easter is either 1 or two weeks difference, or it could be a whole month, hardly ever the same day. You have a great 🐣❤️

in reply toMary-intussuception

I feel so alone in this isolation, I can’t even see my grandchildren, but we do FaceTime, but that’s not being there to hug, and kiss them. If people are like him ,this will never be over, so we can all be with our families.😞

That's true. People like your husband will prolong this. There are a lot of them out there.

I go for walks, if someone isn't distancing I say something.

in reply toDolphin14

I left him, told he was defiantly wrong, he should be ashamed of himself. Never will walk with him again. I do hope one of these days ,others walkers will say something to him. I would if someone was doing it like him.❤️
