I am not a good writer so forgive any spelling errors or if my text doesn’t make sense. My husband(30m) and I(29F) have 2 kids 4 and 6 and we bought a house September 22’. My husband has a very bad habit of not locking the front door or his car. He will sometimes forget his wallet in his car and once even his keys in his car overnight with the doors unlocked. He constantly leaves and forget to lock the door when he goes to work at 4:30 in the morning. It is dark and the kids and I are still sleeping! I tell him all the time someone could just walk in and I wouldn’t know because I’m asleep upstairs. He has no sense of urgency and it’s giving me bad anxiety. The worse part is last winter we had several cars in our neighborhood broken into and yet he still thinks nothing could happen to us. I honestly don’t know how to get through to him. I have such bad anxiety about someone breaking in without him forgetting to lock the door and now he makes it 10times worse. He gets mad about me nagging him all the time but he truly doesn’t understand that we are not an exception. Aita for getting on him about it every time? I’m starting to feel like maybe I’m just doing too much.
My husband grew up very poor in a one bedroom apartment with multiple siblings and I feel he never had anything to really lose so he never developed any sense of urgency.
