Husband rant

I just found out about this reddit page and realised that my husband seems to subscribe to certain ideologies that are QAnon (chemtrails, anti-vax, loves trump, Joe Roegan, Jordan Peterson, etc.)

Because I’m not very well read on politics or economics (don’t have much interest or time to look into those topics either), I’m not sure what to make of the things that he is saying to me. I can’t tell what is brainwashy stuff or what is not because he makes everything sound like widely known facts. For example he tells me about how the idea behind fossil fuels was created by some guy called who started a foundation (don’t remember his name)

He used to point out “chemtrails” in the sky and explained what they were to me. I believed him until one day I mentioned it to my friends who thought I was crazy and obviously I was upset and asked him why he didn’t pre-empt to me that it could be a conspiracy and told me as if it was a fact. His response was that he didn’t think I was going to say it to other people and so I told him that if in future he’s telling me something that is a conspiracy he needs to first preface to say that it’s not a proven thing.

It’a just so annoying that I have to go and fact check everything he says now. And he knows that I fact check him because I cannot trust the “news” he is spouting.

Slight misogyny (he tests my boundaries on this) which I often rebut and he backs down because I quote scripture, we are religious and he knows I’m right. I really hope my son doesn’t grow up thinking the same way as he does.

Would appreciate helpful advice other than for baby and I to leave him because 1. it’s easier said than done, 2. doomscrolling is a habit that he is working on breaking, 3. we have a pretty solid relationship other than this he just needs guidance or therapy or both lol
