Social Distancing Divide due to job

I can’t believe there will be no masks or protocol at his work. He is meeting with people, not an ER Doctor.

Huh? Simply being over sixty is an underlying issue so unless these are your grandparents, they are inherently at risk.

Nope, data does not support that. Sorry to burst your bubble. If you are 60-65 and don't have heart/lung issues, you should be fine - practice good hygiene, etc.

That is false. Jesus.

...my husband is headed back to the office (by necessity)...(relates to community action and conversations around the current police brutality and political movements - think politico type communications).. he doesn’t take this lightly as it’s important work"

What was the purpose of this? Is it to show how "woke" you and your DH are? Or is it just a flimsy dramatic foil to show how afraid you are of your husband having to deal with the unwashed mass at work?

I guess people who have HAD to work in grocery stores, drug stores, gas stations or other essential services for the past several months ("by necessity" due to lack of income, or job loss fears) aren't even on your radar, huh?

Of course not. Because you and your DH have been pulling in TWO incomes while you sit cozy and comfy at home. Giving you plenty of time to fuel your paranoia, as evidenced by your post.

Crazy. Just wash hands and use common sense, masking when necessary.

Absolutely nuts.
My DH never had the luxury of not going to work during this entire mess. We're all still here and quarantined otherwise.

+1 Washing his hands and wearing a mask.

my wife could be the Opie. I have to go to work as well, and even though I take precautions, she won't come near me. Has been three months without intimacy or sex, although I wonder if it's just an excuse for her because our sex life was terrible before.

If DH chose grandparents over me, I would assume he was over our marriage.

That said, I'm a nurse and work on Covid floors. I strip my clothes and shower when I get home.

Tell your husband to do the same and to wear a mask at work. Even if others dont, it will provide some protection. Hand hygiene is important.

I think choosing grandparents over dad/husband signals something majorly wrong in your marriage

Agreed. Also, as my children’s parent, I would never accept to be cut off from my children because my spouse wanted to prioritize the grandparents.

If my spouse suggested this, I would laugh! It’s so ridiculous! If it turned out my spouse was serious, I would tell them they could go live at their parents house but my children are staying at home and so am I. Then I’d start researching divorce attorneys because obviously I married a lunatic.
