To not see BF due to his mad visit

30 replies

delurkingtoask · 23/05/2020 08:09

My BF and I live in separate households and have been seeing each other during lockdown once or twice a week. He is WFH, so am I. He goes out when essential, rides his bike, is generally careful, has some gloves and uses hand sanitiser.

BF lives more rurally than me and has occasionally seen his friends around the village. This week one of his friends has invited him in for a cuppa and he last night told me that he had been in friend’s house yesterday. Told me he took care to be distant but he would say that to me as he knows what I would say about it.

His friend had Covid about 4–5 weeks ago. I am now off work for a week and we had planned to see each other on a couple of days but now I am feeling very uncomfortable about this.

He thinks I’m mad as his friend has had CV and therefore he thinks there is no risk. I am uncomfortable as there is a possibility of the virus still floating around in friend’s house or friend still carrying the virus.

Which one of us is being unreasonable? In the nicest possible way, I am not interested in a load of posts telling me how I am breaking the rules, I am interested in your views as to the actual risk I would be running seeing him for the next week or so. Thanks

Why does it matter if he breaks rules now when you've both been breaking them all along?

Both as bad as each other IMO. You say yourself you've been breaking the rules by seeing him anyway Hmm

I think it’s a bit late to worry about the risks now.

I would. In my view any risks of both this, and how you've been seeing BF during lockdown, are close to non-existent.

This is exactly why we run the risk of a second wave, your BF is seeing his friend, you're not happy about it but you're doing the exact same thing seeing your BF during lockdown. If you all keep twisting the lockdown rules to suit yourselves we are never going to see the end of covid19.
