My husband keeps telling me I have my head in the sand and should get real, but I cannot help but think we can surely find something good in all of this.

I am not, for one moment trivialising people losing their lives or livelihoods but I'm a big believer in when one door shuts another opens.

I must admit that my husband and I seem to be arguing daily over COVID-19, as we clearly sit on opposite sides of the fence on the current situation and what the future holds for us.

I sometimes feel like I am drowning in his negativity.

He still has his job, we are financially stable and have no school-age kids to be concerned over, so I really don't get it.

Anyway, I have had my gripe and wish you and yours and all The Leader staff health and happiness.

I am sure there are positives to take away and I was having this conversation with the MOTH (man of the house) only a couple of hours ago.

Sure there will be aggravation and frustration, and sure people may become more dependent on alcohol, people's lives will be lost and as will jobs and businesses, but not everything is bad.

I said to the MOTH that maybe, just maybe, some couples and families may actually be forced to reconnect and actually improve and enjoy these relationships.

Perhaps many of us will begin to appreciate the outdoors and the simplicity of a walk in the sunshine; maybe we will understand the need for healthier eating, exercise, and the simple things in life.

With a bit of luck we will become more active when it comes to caring for and looking out for the older people in our families and within the general populous.

We are seeing many examples of great kindness world wide and I think that is what we should all be focused on.

What can each one of us do, even in a limited way, to help somebody else.

As for arguing with your hubby - waste of time and energy. Just don't engage in these conversations. It really isn't worth the aggravation.

He will believe what he does and you cannot change that.

PS: I think we will all have much tidier cupboards etc, boredom and isolation will ensure that - that's another positive.

We are the hunters and gatherers and the ones who are supposed to protect our families from harm.

Your husband is probably feeling the strain and stress of his responsibility.

Have you got a problem that you would like Wagga Wagga's Agony Aunt to try and solve?
