[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd avoid you like the plague. An attitude like this marks you as ignorant, selfish and not at all concerned with other people in society.

The PP might have been a bit harsh but I have to agree that there is something about the tone of your post, OP, that feels quite "off". I am guessing that you are not coming across to your friends as you think you are. Maybe use some of your down time to really be honest and look inward.[/quote]

I’m frustrated. And lonely. And perhaps a bit jealous that others have husbands at home and doting local grandparents so they’re less reliant on friends to get through the long days and months. [/quote]

I’m sorry OP. I’m in a similar boat except I’m WFH with a DH who is a physician going to work most days. I do feel like people are avoiding us but it’s hard because no one comes out and says it, they just make excuses for why they can’t see us outside in masks. Or they just don’t respond which is so annoying. The ironic thing is that my DH screens patients like crazy and does not see any Covid patients and anyone going out to a store is more at risk than he is. But people just assume as always. 
No advice, just commiserating. [/quote]
