To not want sex with DH while he’s got Covid?

[JJ123456]

He’s on day four of self isolation and wanted to be intimate. I refused and have said he’s not taking my health seriously by risking spread of Covid to me. AIBU?

I think the fact that OP is posting to check if she’s being unreasonable indicates some sex pestery, otherwise she would just say no and that’s that. Like pps have said, you may catch it anyway but of course yanbu not to want to, for any reason, but catching an illness that you’ve (presumably) never had, is really very unsexy I’d think.

Assuming you don’t live in a studio flat then you should not be in the same room to have sex anyway. You are both being unreasonable.

You do know it's not always possible to avoid other household members? We have a one bedroom flat and yes we have a separate living room but you have to walk through it to get to the kitchen or bathroom. We have no way of avoiding each other completely so if one of us gets it we'll be living as normal.

Wanting to have sex with your wife makes you a sex pest?

If you are in self-isolation with the aim of not sharing something around then, yes, asking to get up close and personal is because not a pest. If the reason for up close and personal, overriding someone’s health and safety, is for sex then as for category of pest = sex pest.

That isn't what "sex pest" means. You also said "of the worst variety". Do you genuinely think that a husband asking to have sex with his wife and apparently not pestering her for it is the "worst variety" of sex pest?

There is absolutely no information in the. OP's sole post to indicate any form of pestering, sulking or harassment.

I've got covid and sex is the last thing in my mind.

Same here! Hadn't the energy to move. Past isolation stage and still very low on energy. My dh didn't get it even though sleeping in same bed first few days as l didn't realise it was Covid. Neither did grown up ds in same house. Isolated then. If your dh has that kind of energy l wouldn't be listening to any moaning from him feeling awful or miserable.
