[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think another poster mentioned this, but if this were a DW posted saying she wanted her DH at her dad’s funeral to support her, but he said he thought she should go alone and he’d stay home with the kids, everyone would pile on and talk about what a shitty, unsupportive DH she has.

DH specifically voiced what he needed in a time that should be about him, and not about [b]the wife’s convenience.[/b] Maybe some of you would rather go to the funeral alone. That’s fine. That’s valid. But the person grieving in this relationship says he needs something different. [/quote]

DP. What is with all of you people insisting the OP thinks this is about what is [i]convenient[/i] for her? JFC. Are you unaware that there is still a pandemic on, the variant spreading like wildfire is many times more easily transmitted than earlier variants, and she and her husband have two children too young to be vaccinated? Maybe you're also "Kids won't get very sick, let 'em get it" advocates too. That's not about convenience, it's about making a choice during a serious public health event.

Before you go off on "but but but they were just there anyway so OP really doesn't care about omicron, she's just tired" -- She and DH likely could choose whom they and the kids saw when there on a family trip. Very different from dragging kids to a funeral where there will be other people whom OP and her DH may not even know very well. Yes, I mean relatives too.
