[quote=Anonymous]My DH has become an anti vaxxer and feels extremely strongly that the covid vaccines, and covid testing, are unnecessary/harmful to people.  I completely disagree and am vaccinated.  Needless to say, this is causing a tremendous amount of stress in our relationship, which already is pretty frayed and I've thought about divorce several times over the last couple of years, but I'm afraid of taking such a big step and so far I haven't found the situation so unbearable that I could make that call.  We both work FT at the GS-15 level and have middle school age kids.

DH doesn't seem to allow for any exceptions for a covid test even for something I know he ordinarily would want to do (like travel internationally) which I point out to show how he sticks to his principles pretty much no matter what.  My DH also is a Fed and, after the recent executive order, I am suspicious that he intends to quit his job rather than getting the jab.  I have asked him straight up what he will do and he is not giving me a clear answer.  If DH wanted to change jobs for another reason, I would understand and expect that we jointly would evaluate the impact on our family bc this is how we handled it in the past.  However, DH's actions have become unpredictable and I could see him just up and quitting.  I'm not sure how to prepare for this, and the thought that he would be so reckless with our family is basically driving me crazy too...however, I keep reminding myself that he hasn't done anything, yet, so I'm trying to pull back emotionally and make a plan so that I'm less anxious.  Basically, what should I do to protect me and our kids financially, if there is anything I can do?  Does it differ whether I plan to divorce DH or not?  If this will push me over the edge to choose divorce, which is how I'm feeling now, do I have to file for divorce or separation right away to demonstrate that DH not working is not the standard for our family?
