Please just let me vent

This election has been hard on everyone. But I’m growing concerned.

My husband and I are libertarians. We voted Trump. I’m not here to debate that.

Obviously, the election results disappointed us. But I keep living. You have to. I have a toddler to care for, and I am 28 weeks pregnant. My husband is spiraling a bit. I can’t get him away from the media. He’s obsessed.

This morning he tells me, “if Trump has a rally, I’m going. No matter where it is.”

I expressed my support of his passion, but mentioned with me being pregnant and the CDC changing their stance recently on pregnancy and COVID, that I don’t think now would be a good time.

He says I am controlling and I always say that.

Maybe I do always say that. Like the time he wanted to go to “Florida” to see his brother and we still had a 4 month old that wouldn’t sleep. He actually ended up going to Europe and lying to me.

Or the time he needed to go see his brother to give him our cat because we were moving and I asked him to please not go to any restaurants during the pandemic, and he went to a bar.

I feel frustrated. I finally told him, if it was that important to him and Trump holds a rally, he can go, but myself and his daughter will be quarantining from him for two weeks for our own safety.

It should be noted, we aren’t crazy about COVID. We go places. We wear masks. We sanitize. But I think going to the grocery store and such is a little different than a potentially very large rally.

Obviously this is all hypothetical. But I feel like his election obsession os clouding his judgment.
