... over masks... we had a great day, took our son for a hike, tried to go out to dinner... Monday’s are a bust for restaurants, and two of our favorites are closed on those days.
But we tried an alternate, things were ok, I had my fake mask on, I entered the empty restaurant, approached the host and asked for a table, she happily grabbed menus (physical) rare here... when a grizzly man asked if I would raise my mask above my nose, I said I would not, I did not mention my unmasked child, but asked why?
Blah blah blah, I can be fined, faggot tears, I AM WEARING THE FUCKING MUZZLE, get real, so I told him I would take my money elsewhere... he said go do so.... then my bitch husband cried that I can’t be normal and I ruin everything, it was for 15 seconds, stop being obsessed, then I told him he would look the other way while I got raped for 15 seconds, I’m still the bad guy somehow and ruined it all, I wanna cry so bad right now, but I’m the only one left with guts.... it hurts :(
It would suck, but understand I am living in a world and state that is constantly cutting liberties at its knees. My husband will preach about raising strong kids and making our son tough, yet bitch out every time over confrontation, he’ll jokingly call me Karen, I have only become one over this fake pandemic... it’s logic, he’ll agree with me, argue back with coworkers, but put the mask on and comply for service or have entertainment, I have a line and I drew it, he doesn’t like that I won’t budge, I’m not proud to emasculate him, but I’m lost on how to teach him with impact... the logic is there... the guts are not.
I do understand the world you’re living in, we all live in it, that’s why we’re all here. We’re all frustrated. I get the whole civil disobedience thing with the masks, but at a certain point it’s just reverse virtue signaling. You gonna die on that hill? You gonna drag your marriage up there to die with you? And after it’s all dead, how far did you move the needle? Did you change the world because you wouldn’t wear a mask? It makes no sense to me that you’d trash the people closest to you for this reason. This world you imagine, where a critical mass of people not complying with these retarded mask rules changes everything...how well do you do in that world when you’ve burnt your home to the ground? Maybe fine. It sounds like the bigger issue is you don’t respect your husband, and maybe you’d be better off without him, and maybe he without you. I can’t say. I can tell you one thing, if my wife made a post like this, I sure as hell wouldn’t be the one sleeping in the basement. What a betrayal, dragging him in here so all the self imagined alpha chads can join you in mocking him. No wonder he doesn’t rush in to white knight when you pick fights with restaurant managers.
You’ve made me out to be such a bad guy and maybe I am... but I think it’s important that I have a place to put this... there is no other place I could have shared this, and I’m glad I did... some have agreed, some not, more so a discussion has happened on what’s going on with relationships and how we navigate the social world that discriminates and divides us. I didn’t change the world, I didn’t change my husband, he’s apathetic and can’t be changed... yet/until affected. But maybe I changed the managers POV, maybe a customer, maybe the wait staff that hates wearing the mask and just watched a $20 tip walk out the door, maybe that guy, but I just can’t logically tell my son he doesn’t need to wear a mask and then politely pull mine up to conform, I KNOW WHERE THIS LEADS.
Fair enough. I’ve been critical, but I wish you and your family the best, and i mean that sincerely. I understand the stand you’re trying to make and the example of strength you’re setting for your son. That is admirable. Hopefully we’ll all find a way through this madness. But if anything we get though this together. You’re right, we have to have guts and balls of steel, but we also gotta have family and we can’t lose sight of that.
Well said! I too have a husband who will "comply to avoid confrontation". Then he gets mad at me because I am adamant about not wearing masks. We have this debate about vacation. We want to go on a plane, but can't board unless I "comply". Tells me that he really needs a vacation, but we live too far from anywhere to drive comfortably. So do I give in? I want my husband to have a nice vacation, which he deserves, especially since we couldn't go last year (our trip was cancelled due to the scamdemic) but at the same time, I feel like I'm betraying my own principles by giving in. It's such a fucking bullshit situation we're in.
A Karen is a person who thinks their own hysterical emotional reaction is authoritatively compelling upon others.
It’s possible to be a Karen and ALSO objectively, logically, and factually correct — but it’s exceedingly rare. Most often the Karen does so because she can’t back up her feelings with any good argument.
Frankly, you sound incredibly aggressive. Your husband probably isn't interested in backing you up because after you get aggressive and start fights, he's the one who's going to get punched or arrested. Who was this "grizzly man" anyway? Was he just some random customer, and how did he get involved? Unless he was a manager who stopped the hostess, it would have been best to just ignore him and follow the hostess to your table.
You admit you're emasculating him, you want to "teach him with impact," in another comment you've thrown him out of his own bed (you're the one having a hissy fit, you sleep on the couch), and you're badmouthing him on the internet. No wonder he won't lead, you've taken all the pants.
He was the manager wearing an American flag mask, and yeah, I am wearing the pants at the moment, I’m tired of it!
