He’s sort of gaslighting you? I’m not sure if I am saying that correctly.
He’s making you feel guilty for something you are uncomfortable with. And making you question yourself a bit. Maybe I’m assuming there...
Anyways.... this doesn’t sound right at all. This is a pandemic and it’s been hurting vulnerable people whom are usually farther/older in their years in life. If you go out and god forbid catch something. You could be putting the people whom you return to back in your home at risk of being critically sick... or worse.
If he doesn’t care about that. That’s on him. But you do. And this obviously brings about other anxieties and levels of discomfort within yourself. Don’t compromise that. It’s something you have to work through. And not have to be pressured or pushed through. Especially not over a dude who can’t even begin to understand the implications of going out right now and getting someone sick.
The whole reason we are being told to stay home is to avoid getting sick because we don’t know who could end up catching it. And how it can affect those people. Also the fact we don’t even have a cure or vaccine for it. The best course of action has been deemed to stay home and social distance. I have some errands to run during the day too. And i avoid as much human contact as I can. I do tend to go on drives later in the day because I can’t sleep due to other unrelated reasons.
I was released from the hospital 2 weeks back for unrelated reasons. I was stuck for a few days after coming out of critical condition. Trust me. I understand what it’s like to be in the hospital in this time. It isn’t fun. Granted I wasn’t sick with the virus. But I was on a ventilator and then on respiratory treatments. And frankly as of maybe like yesterday or today. I’m finally able to talk back to normal and breathe a lot better.
If you go out and spread this virus. You could be putting people in the hospital or worse. And it sounds like you have a good idea of that. This guy doesn’t and it isn’t worth the risk. Don’t let him try to make you feel guilty for it. He should understand. Of all people he should. The fact he doesn’t speaks volumes... and not in a good way.
Have you tried to compromise? Maybe video chat and such? We live is such a technological advanced age and time. Where these means are available to us in different social media platforms. You can’t really argue with the fact of that. In this time. Compromising for the safety of your wellbeing and others is the best course of action! If you haven’t brought those means you before I would suggest to try them now. And if he can’t wrap his mind around it. I wouldn’t cave in. You’re still very anxious and uncomfortable with that. Do be selfish and put yourself first!
