[quote=Anonymous]Anyone else dealing with a spouse with covid anxiety?
We had our DD in July 2020 and through my pregnancy and her entire life, I have followed his incredibly strict covid protocol.  No one besides a doctor has held my DD at this point.  It makes me incredibly sad to think of the joy that I could not share with my friends and family.

We were recently entering a nanny share and DD and I went over to get everything set up.  The next day the family calls to tell me the husband has tested positive for covid.  They were traveling and I thought they had been back for two weeks, but that wasn't the case.  DH is FURIOUS at me for not asking them if they had a Covid test before we went over.

Since the test, he has holed himself in his room even though we had over 24 hours together before we found out.  He is wearing three masks around the house and refuses to talk to me.  He is pushing me to take a large list of supplement including a european medicine, mouthwashes and nasal spray.  I have no symptoms and had a negative covid test.  I told him that he needs help and he laughed and said that it's my fault for exposing them to a deadly virus.

I'm at a loss.... I have been operating according to his protocol this entire time even though my risk tolerance is higher.  Still, I am on the more cautious side, his expectations are extreme.  He refuses to acknowledge that he has extreme anxiety and paranoia.  
I feel like this is the end of my marriage.  Had anyone separated from a partner with different covid expectations?  I wonder how that could go regarding our DD.  [/quote]
