I’ve written about Covid several times. But besides writing about the illness itself, Covid is also wrecking relationships.
One thing I am having trouble with is arguing with my husband over what is safe to do and what isn’t.
My husband says I live in “Covidville”. Where everything is Covid, all the time. Maybe he is right? Maybe he is wrong? Maybe he is a little right and wrong.
