8. What a wonderful and selfless thing to do.

I agree with the advice from FuzzyRabbit and calimary. It could also well be that your husband feels a bit adrift with his societally-impressed role as male provider and protector having been blunted; I don't know. But the two of you can work together to continue to be safe, and love each other, and perhaps even find some new things to do to enjoy and celebrate the beauty of winter (videos of alpine skiing through fresh powder?, photos of freezing soap-water bubbles showing the intricate crystalline patterns of icy dendrites?) and the coming spring. (Purchase some bulbs to grow into blooms? I'm enjoying four blossoming orchids right now that I've carefully tended for a year and more since their last blossoming.) Our wonderful new and oh so capable president has brought fresh hope to the country with his vaccine push, and I think that you'll find an appointment for yourself very soon.
