It all started with a staged intervention last weekend at a cookout we were having at the house for family members. The wife, daughter and a group of in-laws cornered me and told me I was being selfish - I was jeopardizing their safety. The nagging and "attitude" had been going on for months prior. I once again explained my position but no amount of evidence or logic offered up was going to change any minds. My entire immediate and extended family has bought the narrative and drank the Kool-Aid utterly and completely. There's no convincing anyone otherwise. Today, the wife informs me that she wants me to move out of the house that I worked my ass off for decades to provide because I don't care enough about her to take the vax. It's a sad day but I'm not wavering. I'm packing my shit and seeking alternate living arrangements. I did inform every one of them not to call me when their health starts to go south in the near future....which was met with rolled eyes and an ambivalent shrug. They all think I've gone bananas.

I have two grown kids who are out on their own. I'm moving out to keep the peace and quite frankly, the wife wouldn't know how to function if she were the one to leave. Frankly, I'm worn down and just sick of the nagging. It's a really hollowed-out feeling. I'll pursue whatever legal channels are necessary if/when it comes down to finalizing the split in order to preserve my share of the assets. Once I leave, I won't return.
