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.
The risk is pretty much 100% one sided on men.
Women alkost always marry up financially. It almost always negatively impacts the man in a divorce. If it werent true women wouldnt bail on marriage for non-fault reasons, and sinc ethey file over 80% of the divorces you know how stacked “family” court is in their favor.
Family court and society today encourage women to divorce and get cash and prizes, and also they encourage antagonism and hostility in the divorce process.
Theres no upside for men to get married today.
You are getting some bad responses due to your bad post. The issue you are having is it appears both of you are too focused on the vax in your communication. Give and take. Do not mock each other, respect each other. This seems to have just brought to the forefront the lack of mutual respect. The question is how long has a lack of respect been an issue.
Btw - your son is going to get the vax if he joined the Army. Enjoy your trip to Georgia.
It is perfectly possible to agree to disagree and keep the peace and a happy marriage. My husband took the experimental gene therapy shot and I refuse. Our agreement is that we respect each other’s decision.
My daughter in New Jersey won’t let me have visits with their daughters, 3 and 4 months. Right now my husband is there on an overnight visiting them and I remain home; this is difficult. I am sucking it up though - I will NOT get that shot I do not trust Fauci or big government.
I appreciate dissent here but outright personnel attacks at the level he dishes it out is breathtaking at times
That's what she said.
Sit down with humblegunner, help him clean his rifles and you'll get a very different picture. He's meticulous about his weaponry, and I learned a lot from him about the proper care of firearms. Give him a pack of cigarettes and a can of Busch beer, and he's happy. If he screws up socially, he's quick to own up to his mistake. He's a different person from his FReeper persona.
(Hint: Get on his good side by asking him for tips on cleaning weapons.)
There are plenty of other important issues to discuss beside COVID. Just don’t step on that 3rd Rail Topic for the time being. He has his beliefs and you have yours. That is still legal.
It’s a very personal decision, one you shouldn’t be shamed, or argued into.
Sure appears to be the case 😏
He thinks I should get the vax if it means we can fly to our son’s graduation from boot camp. I won’t do it. I’d rather drive the 14 hours without government oversight.
Well, I believe in the sanctity of marriage pretty strongly too. So I wouldn’t want to compromise on one strongly held belief just to make a stand on another. I’d probably try to find a third option where I could satisfy both of my convictions.
The unvaccinated will need to firm up their resolve to protect their rights otherwise the majority viewpoint in society (that vaccines are necessary) will run us over and we will be roadkill. We are going to be insulted, mocked and belittled on a continual basis in a variety of social settings. All we can do is to point to the logic of not injecting our bodies with some untested and unproven substances that are not acting as vaccines as commonly defined (substances that provide immunity). Who knows what effects they will have after a year or two, and not to mention the probable pressure that will come later to get additional booster shots. How many of those will be expected? When will the tide turn and the majority might see the logic of our position rather than the “experts” who have no great track record in recent years on a variety of subjects.
As to whether that adds up to divorce in one particular instance, pray for discernment wisdom. It might.
Were you dropped on your head as an infant?
My handle is “SnuffaBolshevik” which translates as kill or otherwise get rid of Bolsheviks.
Done with you, bimbo. Your husband and son will be better off if you go away.
Finis. (Look it up. It’s Esperanto for something).
Don’t care if he can clean guns, smoke cigs, and drink cheep beer.
So what is his contribution to FR?
He is a FRasshole, and his “FReeper pesrona” is aiding in the demise of the forum.
“Yea well what if 2 peeps dont like each other ?”
Well, in olden days, there was a solution to that besides divorce. In the Old Testament they called it “putting your wife away”, but nowadays either party can do it and we just call it “separation”. Just because you are married doesn’t mean you are legally required to live under the same roof.
Leadership you can trust!
My former shyster won so there’s that.
:-)
I certainly could start a consulting business. Actually my wife was a consultant in the last years of her career (she worked for HP). But I’m thinking once I jump off the treadmill, I’m never getting back on. I can picture myself doing nothing but reading books, walking the dog and surfing the web (including FR) the rest of my life and be happy.
