I think my emet holds me back a lot. Socially, from going to peoples houses, going to parties, eating food out, going out to eat, anything like that. Mentally it messes me up because I some how am convinced that anything I feel is negative and will make me sick. I agree with you, kids are gross and I could not imagine having any right now. As for the marriage, my husband is supportive and you will find people who will support you. As for you being worried about them, I guess thats your personal decision. My husband works with the public and he's been healthy thus far (knock on wood) but yeah, you just never know. There has to be a balance, and it has to come from your own personal end. I just have to remind myself a lot that avoiding germs, only make us weaker.
