Any couples with different opinions on social distancing?

Yes. Actually my FH and I had an argument this morning about this. I am still going to work everyday, I work in a law firm and my state allowed legal services to remain open and we are a small place with only 8 employees at max. Right now there are only 5 of us here most of the time. But my FH's company has been closed for 3 weeks. He is getting frustrated and he admitted this morning he is jealous because I go to work everyday and he feels like all he does is stay home, cook and clean. I feel bad for him, because he literally just wants to go back to work. He works as a medical assistant at a pain management clinic and there CEO decided to close for 3 weeks. My FH thinks we should be closed, but right now the money I make is our income so I can't not work. We take the necessary precautions when I come home; I shower right away. But I think this is really bugging my FH.

Wow that is tough, but I'm glad you and your fiance were able to talk and he realizes how important this is (even if he only feels its important to you, and not society as a whole) and changed his plans.

Absolutely. personally, i'm not scared of getting covid-19, it's moreso i am afraid of having it and especially not knowing and then spreading it around. especially because my parents are very elderly so i have to help them out still. my husband had a tattoo appointment during this time and he was still gonna go! he was saying well it's only me and the tattoo artist. ok... but who does the tattoo artist see before YOU, ya know? he got the idea and cancelled the appointment but i think a lot of people still don't understand the importance of social distancing.

My FH and I both work in Utilities so we are both still working like normal. He doesn't seem to be taking it as seriously either in the aspect of going to stores to grab food for lunch. He is washing and sanitizing everything I just can't talk him in to staying out of stores.

OMG I am so sorry, I'm on your side and I would be absolutely furious with my husband if he decided to go on a fishing trip with friends right now! Maybe you can have him watch the news and read some articles and try to change his mind before it's too late! Or at least have a serious talk with him. It's behaviors like these that are preventing us from flattening the curve. Hopefully you can change his mind!

Sorry I missed that piece! Thank goodness!

Yes. In the beginning EVERYone had different opinions on what social distancing meant. But when the stay at home orders were issued we were able to get on the same page. It sounds like your fiance is on the same page though since he did decline the offer after you both talked.

There was a bit of friction for a little while. My fiance definitely didn't think it was as serious as it is until the last 2 weeks or so, and I had to bite my tongue more than once when he was commenting about people over-reacting. Admittedly, I was a little slow to realize how quickly it would get this serious myself but I came around much sooner thanks to being employed in a healthcare organization and learning more about this situation much faster than my FH.

I think a lot of people were slow to realize the seriousness though. There has been a LOT of misinformation in the media, and not much leadership from the US government, which really led a lot of people into a false sense of complacency.

First and Foremost the words ''Social Distancing'' grinds my gears! I feel like it's a brainwashing word that the government and media wants everybody to use. I feel like using common sense goes a long way but from what I am seeing on the news and social media I don't think common sense exist anymore.

My husband and I are having the same issues right now, the problem is that my mom lives with us. My mom is single and has severe rheumatoid arthritis in all of the joints in her body, she gets a monthly IV treatment that helps her pain but lowers her immune system tremendously. Last weekend my husband tells me that his mom and sister were stopping by to drop of toilet paper because we were having a hard time finding it and my husband and I are working still. I told him that we should have just swung by and picked it up because it would have made it easier. My mom and I were in the living room when we heard a knock at the door and there they were, my mom went upstairs to feel comfortable and when I was walking down the stairs again I saw them taking off their shoes and washing their hands saying now they could hug us. I stepped back and gave them an air hug and told them that it was best not to. I take so much precaution being one that has to leave my home to go to work and potentially expose myself. When I get home I have a quick routine of hurry up and take off clothes and shower. Today as I was leaving to work, I see my SIL driving into my gated community and I'm like hey what are you doing here and she said she was dropping off masks to my husband. Two hours later, they're inside having breakfast that my hubby made. I appreciate that they're helping us with getting items that we're having a hard time finding but I have to put my foot down. I am at work so I was texting my hubby about random things when he said that he was hanging with his sister and I told him again that there needs to be more consideration during this time. I even told him put yourself in my shoes, what if it was your mom and she lived with us and I was allowing people to come visit me. I don't understand why it is so hard to get the point, I also don't want to seem like I don't want his family to go. Today my sister is driving about 60 miles from her house to mine to drop off some things for my mom, she's not coming inside and she's not getting close to us. Because thats how things should be done, ugh end rant.
