Would you visit family when sick?

So last week me and my fiancé (marrying him in 7 weeks time) invited my sister and his sister round to ours for dinner tonight.

My fiancé had spoken to his sister on the phone earlier today and he seemed to be being secretive about the phone call which I thought was strange. So sister in law turned up tonight and straight away announced to me that she had a sickness bug and had been up all night throwing up and still felt very sick! I walked into other room where fiancé was and asked him if he knew she was sick (I have my hen party next week so I don't want to be ill, also he knows I have anxiety about sickness bugs and prefer people not to visit when sick, I don't mind so much if it's just a cold) he said to me no his sister hadn't told him! His sister then said she had told him earlier on the phone! So my fiancé had lied to me and risked me being sick on my hen do and giving me huge anxiety about catching it 🙁

Aibu? Am I right in thinking if you have a sickness bug you should stay at home as much as you can? Especially when they know someone has a big special day coming up?

If she'd been up all night being sick why does she even want to come out tonight? Seems pointless for her and risky for the rest of you getting sick.

I hope he gets it and you are spared! She's insane to come over Ill

Very unfair when people come out and they have been sick like that. It's how these things spread so much.

YANBU She shouldn't have come. Your DP should have told her not to come and he should have made you aware of the bug.

DS1 is in the army. He had d&v at the end of last week. It was going through his barrack block and colleagues like wildfire. He was due home on leave on Friday night but didn't come home until Sunday evening because he didn't want to give it to me and DH and he knows I've got a phobia about being sick.

I'm really hope you don't catch it.

Thanks everyone Smile glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's unfair!
