Struggling with staying inside hiw to have a dream life whilst stuck inside all day because of COVID still?

[accidentalglixch]

I'm struggling with the fact that my life has been turned upside down because of covid. I've never had it and don't have it.

However the husband doesn't want me to go out at all because the COVID cases in the UK are higher now than what they were during lockdown and now people can roam around free if they are positive.

I'm struggling so much just being stuck at home with him and my puppy. Please understand that I love them dearly. I know my husband is means well

I want to go out and travel, I want to get lots of tattoos, I want to go to lots of concerts and meet my celeb crushes etc I wanted to go to my cousins wedding in April but I can't.... or at least he doesn't want me to because he doesn't want us to fall ill and loose wages.

I just feel really trapped 😞

Oh dear, it’s so difficult isn’t it after being unable to do all the things we want to now we can it’s all a bit frightening, but the thing is this can’t go on for ever, yes covid cases are rising, but so are other virus like flu but it doesn’t stop everyone doing anything, we have to try and live with it, I think we still have to be careful, we still wear masks when we go shopping and I always make sure I wash my hands after being out

It sounds as if your husband has developed a bit of a phobia, maybe have a chat with your Dr about this, do you both go out to work , if so how do you manage that

First of all, did you get your 2 vacs and a booster? If so, you are pretty safe, but when you go out to shop, or be with people, make sure you wear a N-95 mask.And then you can go anywhere you want to go, without getting Covid, etc.

I've had my 2 but not booster. He's only had 1 because doctors won't give him Pzfier (he was given the one with high risks literally the day the government announced it does have links to serious health issues)

I always wear masks and sometimes double up in busy places, hand gel each time i enter & exit stores... but he still says even with all this it's unsafe.

We've had multiple arguments about it and when I went to my nan's wake, he made me 'isolate' at my parents for 5 days 3 weeks ago when no restrictions were in place.

Every time i say "i need to pop to the shops" or "I would like to go to the shopping center" (not for any reason other than to get out) he just says covid numbers are high right now you shouldn't be going out...especially now people can roam positive. He goes on such a tangent, he tells me the covid case numbers, how many people has been hospitalised, what other scientists are saying telling me they say the UK is the only country to admit defeat and just pretend to ignore it...

My advise to you is to get that booster. They say that without the booster, it's possible to get Covid. I had my 2 vacs and the booster, and so far I haven't gotten Covid. On the news today, they were saying that they are getting ready for a 2nd booster for people 60 and over, so I am getting that one as soon as they release it, since I am 70. As for your husband, I think he needs to see his doctor and ask him if he can get those shots now. I am sure he can. I think he is way too upset and afraid of getting Covid. If he got his vacs and booster, I think he will feel less afraid of getting Covid, since even if you get Covid, they say it would be a very mild case. It is the people that do not have vacs, have to be afraid of getting severe Covid, and possibly die.

I've tried talking to him saying it's just like a normal cold and we are okay because we're protected.

He fires back with "Oh so covid is so normal that people are still dying from it and China's gone into lock down after a handful of cases"
