I need some advice

So I am isolating with my 2 kids, only popped out twice in a week to get some essentials. My husband on the other hand is not complying to the new rules and I am really upset about this. It just throws all my isolating out of the window, he thinks I am over reacting. How can I approach this as I just get angry!

Hi @hollyb10, you're right; my workplace sent me home 2 weeks ago as they didn't think I was safe. My husband then said - 'hang on, if you are wrapped up in cotton wool here, why would I (him) risk that by continuing to go into my own work every day when I'm in a workplace with 50 other people?' He was absolutely right and so we have been at home for two weeks. You're not over-reacting at all. We are under strict guidelines. It's harsh, but maybe if he doesn't want to put his family at risk, he will let you isolate yourselves away from him, which is far from ideal, I know. All the best with this one..... :-)

My husband popped over to the little town with a grocer to our west this morning for the first time off our property in 3 weeks. He did that in a N95 mask and gloves and got in and out as fast as he could. He dropped his clothes in the laundry room as he walked though and immediately went into the shower. I think that is how it has to be until this is over...in the US the curve is still continuing exponentially and not flattening at all as I think many are still quite active. I won't be... Not sure how to make it real to him. Some people need to be impacted directly or through a family or friend before they change. Any way he can stay somewhere else? and let him know you are serious?
