I have recently had my first dose of phizer. My husband has friends dead against the jab and have been influencing him and now he is saying I've poisoned myself. I researched carefully the pros and cons for the phizer and made my mind up that it would be beneficial for me to have it. Husband is only looking at things against phizer and it's starting to affect our marriage. Please help me sisters, what should I do.

My brother is this person . So heavily anti - covid vax. Infact his reaction to me getting my AZ vaccines was so bad that we don't talk now. He was so dead against it that he ruined our relationship. This is like politics and religion. It devides people , breaks up families and causes separations. Hopefully it just blows over for you but my advice would be to tell him anything covid is no longer open for discussion. It is now a forbidden topic in your marriage for it to move forward. Like i told my brother, It doesn't need to be discussed. Ban it from your conversations.
Wow that’s intense! You did what you thought was best. You weren’t wrong.
I’m going through a similar situation with a close friend. Agreed with the first comment. I’m putting vaccination on the list with politics and religion as a no go zone!! She is heavily influenced by her husband who has some out there views about life. I don’t know how I’d go if my husbands views were different to mine re the vaccine. My friend doesn’t talk to her husband about it but honestly such an important issue I don’t know how she sweeps it under the carpet.
My partner is one of those. He'd never be stupid enough to try to tell me I've poisoned myself but he doesn't agree with anyone using these "rushed" vaccines.
I do mock him a little.
"You could only hope it kills me".
"I've had a good run".
"Blood clot isn't a bad way to go, I'll take that over drowning".
I got AZ, I have no prior known predisposition to blood clots and after both jabs had 0 side effects.
Two people having a difference of opinion isn't going to affect a relationship. We often have very different views on many topics. One person taking their own opinion far too seriously and trying to over rule the other is.
I think there’s a difference of opinion ie I like pasta, I don’t like pasta, I’m Catholic, I’m not Catholic etc but in the case of vaccines, your husbands decision effects me, and the community, and public health. If we get to 70 - 80% there is some hope we’ll get to see family again. Our kids can go back to school. People can return to work. It’s a much bigger picture than just a difference of opinion.
A difference in taste or practising religion is not the same as opinion.
Whether the decisions of others re vaccine will effect your life isn't what this post is about.
Just say youre completely happy with your decision, and you know his and don't really gain anything by continuing to hear it.
If he continues tell him you discussed it with medical professionals, and if he wants to chat about it, he should do so with them as well, not you.
You really don't need to get permission from your husband. Take a stand sis. Tell him he doesn't have to agree with you, but he does have to respect your right to make informed choices about your own body.
