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.
As Kurtz says in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, "The horror! The horror!" :-)
LMFAO
I believe in the marriage vows I took. Perhaps a re-reading of them is in order for you. You each could choose to work toward respecting you have differing ideas about the vaccination and learn how to make space for the other person. As for your son, his choice will be get the shot or get a dishonorable discharge. He must follow orders to be a soldier. My advice is let him be. Good luck to you.
If you have any sort of fishing boat, please post a photo.
Thanks in advance.
I would only ask if you would so easily discard this person if it was your son that took the vax. Probably not, so respect his opinion if you want him to respect yours. You asked.
The anti-vax side is full of misinformation. If you’re truly thinking of divorce just because of that, I find that quite sad.
there has to be more to this...people that are married disagree, and stay married, all the time.
as long as he does not insist you get a shot, what do u care if he gets one?
and as for your son, do what you think is best.
I don’t know why our gov and the media try so hard to divide us over things. Masks, vax, skin color, religion, class, it goes on and on.
Don’t let that happen to you. Respect his decision, ask him to respect yours.
Doesn’t really sound like it’s the vaccine that’s the problem.
too a point and the a certain element started to show up....Ahemmm
The voices on the TeeVee tell too many people what to think...
Oh, will you shut up.
I took the vaccine. Respect your husband for taking the vaccine. Allow your son to make his choice. It’s his life.
From the Holy Scripture:
Ephesians 5:22 - 24
(22)Wives, obey your husband as you obey the Lord
(23)The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church , The church is his body and he saved it
(24)Wives should love their husbands in everything, just as the church people obey Christ
A little food for thought.
NO ONE should ever question your personal choices....especially health choices.
And, no one should tell a mother not to send any info/concerns she may have, to her son/daughter.
I wish you the best. Will say a prayer for you.
You are not alone...likely MANY others who are in this same boat.
Have a friend w/a similar situation. She held out, on getting the shots, for a long time. Her hubby guilted her....also travel related. And, she took the shots....only to have just recently come down with/recovering from China virus.
She’s now looking into protocols to diminish the adverse effects (vascular) she is having :-(
Honey remember
“I’m pro-choice. My body my veins”
My husband of 39 years passed just this past December. I miss him. So I just really do not get your attitude at all. The marriage vow is not for when things are going wonderfully and you are in harmony with one another. I believe in that over disagreements about vaccination or other contentious issues. Also there is nothing in those vows where you have to forego writing what you want to in a letter to your own son. Besides I have a feeling your son may already know.
You realize uour son already knows he is mandated to get the vax or wear a red arm band
So why are you worried about tellung him?
Yeah, that isn’t going to happen. But, you should drive and he flies. I am sure the less time he is around you, the happier he is. Why do you think he travels for business.
You don’t sound like a lot of fun.
Good luck to your son. It’s a shame he has to serve under the fool in the White House.
