Visiting partner in another home

[Alilouya]

My friend has just told me she stays with her partner at weekends. I have been missing my fella for weeks as I understood we weren't to see people from other households. I have teenage children who I could pass the virus to if I got it but she's still going in to work at an office with other people. Both our partners live alone and are not working at the moment. I'm interested to hear your views. AIBU?

Well she's unlikely to catch anything from him if he's not having contact with anyone. She could catch it at work and pass it on to him but presumably he's an adult and knows the risks. You've chosen to do things differently. 🤷‍♀️

I am single, lonely, with no family around - and alternate care of our son with ex (which means I’m either with him for a week or by myself for a week).

If I had a long term partner, I would definitely visit them because being this alone for so long is soul destroying.

My friend has her boyfriend over. I don’t agree with it however it’s her life and it’s easy for me to judge when I’m at home with a husband and then out seeing people at work.
