First thing this morning I had a conversation with my wife about how I think the DS & MSM are going to try and use Monkeypox as the next excuse to lock people down.
Now, the thing is, I don't do this to dishearten her, as far as I'm concerned I'm just imparting information/opinion as a way of being forewarned.
However, she immediately got upset about how I was just saying that we had no future and why bother etc. I found this a bit confusing to be honest, but I was concerned I upset her so I tried to explain things a bit better.
I told her that I use this kind of information to gird my loins, to get my juices flowing and adopt a stronger 'fuck you' attitude towards the people trying to do these things - not to sow despondency.
Anyway, she comes out to see me in my office about 1/2 hour later to tell me she had decided to do more life-affirming things - such as some personal grooming and planning to fix the hot-tub, as well as arranging a visit to the range after work.
She can be an awful coward at times, but it seems the more I stand up to the narrative (and also to stand up to her fears) the braver she gets.
She is really trying hard to be brave, and I'm so proud of her. I'm a lucky man.
It gets tiring to only hear about this stuff all the time. As a wife, I would suggest learning these things for her protection but not blabbing about it all the time. Let her have some innocence and peace.
I hear you. We actually had an agreement a while back that I wouldn't bring this stuff up, but my wife actually spent about 2 hours last night going on a rant about all the shit she'd read during the day, so I sometimes forget that I'm supposed to be psychic :)
Sometimes we just want someone to listen so we can get things off our chest.
I get that, but I often forget because I have ADHD and tend to become hyper-focused.
It is a constant battle.
Dude, I'm with you. I have to force myself to bite my tongue sometimes when I know she's just trying to vent and doesn't really want (or need) my input. Just my ear.
God Bless our wives though. Mine's a complete trooper. I owe her at least this much.

Fear is the reason many choose to "not hear or see anything". People need to understand that covering your head with the blanket only works if the monster is not real. Guess that is kinda the reason people in general need to see the monster for themselves first, realize that is it going to take tons of people together to beat it back and then choose to make a stand against it side by side en force. People all over the world are seeing it now, more and more and are standing ground. IMO.
Husband came back last tuesday from vegas(concert) he brought coof back with him, we been at home all week, he got hit pretty hard (double vax) while I have been fine nothing more than a night of rabid sneezing then a day of low grade temp and lots of sleep for a couple days, fine now. Anyway, I got a similar response from a joke I made about it to my sister and from my sister via text... He plans to go to NY next month and I told her "He better not bring Monkeypox home with him" lol She never replied to the jest.. or continued conversation that night.. When I called her the next day she was still edgy with short answers. I really need to talk drive over and have a chat with her now that am "cleared" to leave the house, suspect she had a reaction like your wife did. Blackpill doomer minded on it. Felt weird saying cleared to leave, honestly I think avoiding contact with others while you got a cold of flu in general is a good thing ya know that is being responsible when ill. lol.
Based :)
She goes to the range, and you're calling her a coward? I would say you're lucky she doesn't find someone else.
In many ways she is, she has said so herself.
However, I also observed how she is overcoming her fears and how proud I am of her, but feel free to ignore that part.
There's lots of single dudes looking lol
Just think how much more prepared she's going to be than all the other wives!
She's adapting to the fight before it has even begun.
That's why I'm proud of her
Make sure you take the time to let her hear this from you. Positive reinforcement of positive acts, ignore the negative vibes but instead redirect.
I have learned never to put off telling her how I feel :)
We've been together 27 years now and I tell her I love her every day (well, almost every day).
My wife was unfortunate to have been saddled with a pig of a father who spared no effort in tearing her (and everyone else) down, even though he was a useless piece of shit himself. It leaves an impression that sort of thing, so open praise often gets ignored, yet the faintest hint of a look of negativity gets blown up out of all proportion.
The trial of my life ;)
