My husband of 20 years got the "vax" in order to travel for work. He was not resistant to the jab. In fact, he gladly took it. He has repeatedly told me I'm foolish for not getting the shot. I am heathly and hale and have weighed my options. I will not take it ... ever.
He told me to not mention the mandatory vaccine being foisted on military personnel in a letter to my son in basic training at Fort Benning. I told him to go eff himself. I can't stay married to a man this weak minded.
I can't believe I am with a man who is telling me to watch what I write to our son. I can't believe he thinks this "vax" is legit. I will dissolve this marriage before I let anyone stick a needle in my body.
Right! I struck a nerve. My husband is now telling me he had no intention to tell me what I should write our son or that I am irresponsible for not getting the shot.
Well, you’re the who is gonna have to stand before the Father and ‘splain that one, so get your ducks lined up.
Your problems are much deeper than a COVID vaccine.
Protect yourself and protect your descendants.
It is completely right to stand up to anyone who wants to prevent you from doing that.
You're not the one in the barracks at Benning. Your son is. The Army gives not one whit of your bloviating. I wish your son success.
Frankly, it sounds like your husband and son are better off being rid of you.
And that's a sad thing.
I live in florida. My son went to boot camp there. Then they sent him to Seattle the week before Christmas to “check in”. In order for him to get home I had to pay over a thousand dollars.
Uh huh, I kind of see that. Good idea.
I would say that I’m in a wait and see mode which from a certain point of view we all are. Personally I plan to wait and see for a couple of more years and then reevaluate things but really no one knows for sure what this covid thing will be like then. I don’t know you or anyone else personally on this website but I will say a prayer for you and your family.
You are such a FRasshole, yes, I’ll say it.
Congrats on taking down FReinds and perhaps this forum.
I will take the advice from someone with the handle Bolshevik very lightly.
When I am floored over a comment it is frequently the same person. HG
Nothing you mention is divorce-worthy. Your son has probably already heard about military plans for vaccination. He has to make that choice himself, although Uncle Sam will probably make it for him.
As to getting on a plane with limited fresh air options, I’d be lobbying for the 14 hour road trip even if I were fully vaccinated. On that point, I agree with you. But I wouldn’t divorce over that either.
Before this is over she may need him to fetch groceries and such.
I guess you have to like your meat with a raw meat texture to really enjoy it.
I don’t like rubbery meat myself.
I picture humblegunner to look and act a lot like Newman from Seinfeld. Seething alone in a cramped room, plotting petty revenge for imaginary insults.
“My son is in the military. It’s being forced on recruits and active duty troops.”
AND he’s a grown-ass MAN. If this is the worst that happens to him while he’s serving, BE GRATEFUL.
I let things get too long in the tooth with my eldest son, and he damn near became one of those “30-something. and living at grandma’s” types. YIKES!
Mom wanted to go live with my brother, so I bought her house right out from under him, kicked him out of the guest bedroom into a real job, an apartment, and bills to pay. NOW he’s got front row seats for the “Why You Need a Six-Figure Career” show.
Write to him about the weather, whatever you did in the garden, friends you ran into last week — keep it light.
Since grumpy took the jab, y’oughta stay married for at least another 24 months in case something happens. If you haven’t got a Life Insurance payout by then, recalibrate.
Meanwhile, here; this’ll at least help:

I rarely use Free Republic anymore, and Humblegunner is the primary reason.
Well, if you think it is tough being married to someone who is vaccinated, just wait till you get divorced. I’m not sure which is more sad, that you would divorce your husband over a vaccine, or that you posted such an idiotic grievance on the internet for strangers like me to comment.
“I rarely use Free Republic anymore, and Humblegunner is the primary reason.”
Ditto.
Can you start your own consulting business?
That’s what mr. mm did when his place of employment “invited” him to retire one morning.
He’s been working fewer hours for better pay and it has been very nice to be your own boss and set your own schedule and hours.
The work is not always consistently steady, but it pays the bills.
