Dd tested positive on Friday night.
I have tested positive today, despite bing triple jabbed.
On telli g dh, I had gone back to bed at the time as had been tossi g and turning alll night lwith temperature and aches, he said can u move to the couch pls. (so he doesn't get it I suppose)
Due to other reasons, he is currently signed off sick and spends most of the day in bed, plus it's warmer there.
Anyway, later on today I asked how he was. Apparently he is feeling xrap. I asked him if he could take an lft please. Not least because it means I can move off the uncomfortable couch as he would then already have it, iyswim?

I have asked quite a few times and even explained how uncomfortable the couch is for me atm and he keeps on saying he will do it "later"

You’re being a bit of a martyr. Get in the bed. If he gets Covid it’s tough shit.

I agree with PP you do seem to be being a bit daft, you're sick and SHOULD be in bed, and if he's off sick anyway, what real difference will it make if he get's covid or not? I'd also tell him that the best thing for depression is exercise, preferably out in the fresh air, I know from personal experience, that a good old stomping walk will do him the world of good, while slobbing about in bed wallowing in his misery will just make it worse. Kick his lazy arse out of that bed!!

Not a martyr. Just don't have the energy when the I told you so come back at me, despite there being two (me And dd) positive people in the house.
I do tell him to get up and out. I organised for him to go to a social event for men around mental health just the other week. I also encourage walking the dog. Ultimately I cannot Make him do things.

This is the second thread this week I have seen you make asking for mumsnet to validate a perfectly reasonable request to your husband. He was a cunt about the phone and he isn't being much better now. I think the bigger issue is why are you unsure of yourself when it comes to asking your own husband for something? He sounds like a nasty piece of work.

Does he think he's going to magically wake up better when his sick note expires?

Oh lord this is the same man who was completely unreasonable and unhelpful about the phone! It sounds absolutely exhausting to deal with OP and he sounds just horrible and selfish.

I hope you feel better soon and have a think about where this might go in the future.
