My husband (29M) is driving me (26F) insane with how paranoid he is about COVID. We have been together since 2017. I've told him he needs to talk to a therapist or a doctor about his concerns because I literally cannot handle it anymore. (He has not taken any action to see a therapist no matter how bad the fight gets) It is causing many fights to break out and damaging our relationship.
Examples of what he is worried about getting COVID from (in our home).
- Our bare feet (freaks out if I touch my foot and don't wash my hands, also we have cats)
- The outside of the trash bag, which we have moved to a separate part of the house
- The ground inside our house in general
- Any item that comes into the house that has not been quarantined for at least 48 hours
- The cats, ex. they sometimes sniff the grocery bags before we wipe them down and this scares him. I had to give the cat a bath once when he rubbed his body across the handle of a bag.
For context precaution wise, we don't even leave the house for walks/ exercise and we order all groceries in. We also wipe down all items that come into the house right away and have a "quarantine" room for things we can't wipe down. We follow all mask-wearing and social distancing rules if we do leave the house and even wear gloves, and have a separate dedicated item to push elevator buttons/ open doors.
I have no idea what to do anymore.....
TLDR: Husband is paranoid about COVID and our relationships can't handle much more.
