Page 7 | My friend and ICU doctor

Hana88 · 2021-02-18T07:51:52+00:00

My friend has been speaking to an old friend of hers, who happens to be a doctor working in ICU at the moment. He has invited her to his house to stay overnight - I'm sure I don't have to spell out what for. He lives around two hours away and she's agreed to go. AIBU to say something?

AuntieStella · 18/02/2021 12:38

The ICU lives alone, but the OP doesn't. So she's only free to form a sex bubble if her household has no other bubble.

Which is not specified, so it's Schroedinger's Sex Bubble

@GreenlandTheMovie do we know that the guy lives alone and isn't bubbled with anyone else? I think the latter is somewhat unlikely to be honest.

I wouldn't say anything either, but I just don't get that most people on here, not only wouldn't say anything, but go even further than condoning it. They're actually cheering them on, and making up facts that they don't know (that he lives alone and isn't already bubbled), to facilitate their enthusiasm. It's like people are getting off on the handsome young hero of the ICU ward getting laid.

This place is nuts sometimes.

Better than clapping him I suppose.

I cackled!

"You can form a sex bubble"

Wish I could find someone to form a sex bubble with

good for her

@Loopyloututu

ICU doctors need sex too. Do you honestly believe single people have been going without sex throughout all this!?

Yes!

theleafandnotthetree · 18/02/2021 12:44

Also liking the sound of the sex bubble, beats the support bubble I have with my 90 year old neighbour (dear and all as she is to me)

Lovemusic33 · 18/02/2021 12:45

I wish I could go and meet someone for a random shag (being single during lockdown sucks). I hope she has a great time and he’s not a disappointment 🤣

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 18/02/2021 12:45

Scotland allows non-cohabiting couples to "meet indoors" (), and it doesn't seem to have had a huge impact on case rates.

I think I'd be too embarrassed to even suggest a sex bubble, let alone form one.

Christ, I would hope he lives alone, but bearing in mind the doctors I know, quite possibly not!

But yes, I think theres a natural human tendency towards wanting sex and disliking state interference in our very personal sex lives. I don't think such a ban would stand up in court.

MrsPaddyGrant · 18/02/2021 12:53

You're not wrong OP - it is against the rules - although i wouldnt say anything as they probably know this and are choosing to meet up anyway. We don't know if he lives on his own and so can form a support bubble - and it doesn't sound like they are forming a support bubble but meeting for a hook up.

Last week a new mum who was feeling isolated wanted to take her baby to a garden centre 2 mins away to get out of the house and she was told repeatedly that she was selfish, putting the shop workers at risk and shouldn't be going as it was a "non essential journey".

But driving 200 miles for a shag is apparently fine.

AlrightTreacle · 18/02/2021 13:02

I also thought that given she could have COVID, he might not want her coming to his home. How would he know if she had it? Then he goes in to work the next day...

He's probably already had one or two doses of vaccine, and/or already had covid. If your friend works from home then it's pretty low risk. Plus he probably really wants a shag after a shit 11 months.

Fiona2020 · 18/02/2021 13:05

Ooooo the rules!!! Come on she’s an adult. Stop being a grass and let her crack on

Bagamoyo1 · 18/02/2021 13:10

@TableFlowerss

I’m surprised at the responses here. 2 hours isn’t local area and by the sounds of it it’s for a hook up!

Don’t get me wrong, if I had my way, we’d all be allowed to go about our normal business and do what we want, I think lockdown should be finished with now!

What I find ironic though, is when the post about the two women meeting for coffee after driving to location, people on here went nuts. It was that big of a deal it was national news and people were so disgusted.

How’s this better? Least they were outside. You hear folk on hear harping on about ‘not essential’ travel etc in one post.... then in the next post it’s totally fine...

It's the law of mumsnet. On the one hand, MN is massively judgemental, and posters are berated for minor life transgressions. But on the other hand, if you witness someone murdering their child, you have to stay out of it, because you don't know what's going on in their life, and they might have mental health problems.

This with bells on

ChocolateSantaisthebestkind · 18/02/2021 16:34

An overworked, regularly covid tested medic having a shag, heaven forefend. If she has no symptoms and no exposure, then it's none of your concern.

Hana88 · 18/02/2021 17:35

Not being a grass if I was going to say something it would have been directly to her.

However, I've decided against it after posting. I'm obviously in the wrong!

OP posts:

RickJames · 18/02/2021 17:44

I think she's doing her patriotic duty to support the NHS! I salute her

This is so true. Mumsnet is a strange place sometimes. Gotta love it!! 😁

No exposure?? She's shagging him!! What if she's asymptomatic?

On here, people can't leave their house without judgement.

Yet when sex is mentioned all is fine. Bonkers.

OP, yanbu. People have been utterly ridiculous.

Magnificentmug12 · 18/02/2021 22:00

Let them have a shag!

Stop being grumpy!

I wish I knew earlier that ICU doctors get a sex bubble
