To kick my boyfriend out of my bubble?

[glencoco]

My boyfriend of 8 years and I live apart, but I invited him to form a bubble with me for this lockdown as he lives alone and I live with just my children, and he said yes. I popped in to visit him this morning and he had a friend of his round having a coffee.
He works with this friend, although not usually directly, so I know that if I say anything his response will be what's the difference?
However, I feel that having a mate round for coffee is breaking the current lockdown rules, so maybe he shouldn't bubble with me any more. On the other hand, I might be overreacting and a controlling cow, so I thought I'd brave and ask here!

I think people on this thread should stop telling the OP to ignore other people! OP can make up her own mind.

I think you have to consider carefully the fact that you aren’t allowed to change your bubble. After some date in September (14th maybe) you have to stick to the bubble you have. It doesn’t say, unless the other person fucks it up.

I would stick with the boyfriend in the bubble - I would have a word with him definitely, and if he’s a decent person he’ll understand. I wouldn’t just kick him out of the bubble unless you want to split up (and you still can’t change the bubble!)

I’m also 😂 at everyone telling OP to ignore everyone but them.

Jesus, just apply a liitle logic.

Are you going to cut off your nose to spite your face just so you can virtue signal?

Who do you think will be impressed by that?

How many of these 'I'm sticking to the rules..woe is me..everyone else is a selfish murdering idiot' threads must we have?

You know you don’t have to comment on threads right🤷‍♀️

So, I still haven't made a decision about what I'm going to do, but I am quite relieved that not everyone thinks I'm ridiculously controlling or stupid for wanting to follow the guidelines.
If I do kick him out, I won't let anyone else in, and I don't think we would split over it so it'll all be ok in the end.

The rules say that if you end one bubble, that’s it - you can’t form another. So if you’re really following the rules, you may want to think about how you’ll cope with that.

I wouldn't start another bubble if I end this one

Literally. "Ignore everyone who doesn't have the same opinion as me!!"

Exactly Ariel

I would be annoyed if DP had anyone in his house that isn't in our bubble ( the two of us and our respective dc) even someone he works with. There's enough contact going on with dc in school and him going to work.

I have to say , as both my flatmate and I work with hundreds of folk anyway and both use public transport , we have been slightly less stickler. I think I'm being massively unfair not allowing her to have her friend over for example when I am mixing with hundreds a day.
