I couldn’t believe that he was keeping our children and grandchildren away.
I had been married for almost twenty years when the pandemic hit. I couldn’t believe that my mild-mannered hubby could quickly turn into such a tyrant. He was demanding and basically keeping me locked in the house. I had no problem wearing a mask when we went out. I was okay with washing my hands more often. Washing hands is one of those things I had learned how to do as a child. I was even okay with social distancing. I hated it when people were always bumping into me when I was shopping. Suddenly, my husband didn’t even want me sitting on the porch with my grandchildren or my daughter. He was afraid they would cough and my mask would not be good enough. Then he began looking over my shoulder to see who I was talking to. I couldn’t believe how paranoid he was. Being careful is one thing, but paranoia is another. I told him he needed to calm down and trust me, or I was going to find a nice divorce lawyer. He thought I was teasing, even though I wasn’t. I couldn’t believe that he was keeping our children and grandchildren away. Even when Christmas came around, my grandson was home from the military, and I wasn’t allowed to hug him, even though we all had masks on. He is so overbearing and miserable when I don’t do his bidding, that I am ready to scream. I am absolutely considering contacting a divorce lawyer. Being cautious is okay with me, but he is totally overboard and driving me crazy.
