Covid

[Munskin]

Hi .
I have contracted Covid 19 & yes it is real & it’s hit me like a tonne of bricks… anyway my partner & I both have our work homes and he has decided he doesn’t want to catch it and will stay at his . He is fully vaccinated.

I’m having 2 thoughts
1- I’m quite unwell with it as I have an autoimmune condition and he was with me the night before I caught it and is getting negative lfts . Should he just stay with me anyway - no children involved .
Or

2 - he is right to stay away - has left me my shopping and is in contact and will get me what I need but lives 40 miles away. It hopefully only be 6 days.

He did ask me if I thought he was being unreasonable doing this and I said no as it’s his choice but is this a red flag ! ?

Happy to discuss .

I wouldn't care and if he made sure i had enough food in and was willing to drop stuff off if I needed I would be really grateful.

I prefer to be left alone when I'm ill though so I would be irritated by him hovering if he decided to stay.

He did the right thing. If he caught it how would you get deliveries? Or medication etc?
He’s checking on you and knows you’ll be ok.

No red flag at all.

I think as long as he drops of shopping and asks after you regularly and checks if you need anything then it is sensible really? Except if you get so ill (hopefully not!!! Odds are you will feel better very soon ) that you need someone to care for you- then he should come back I think.

Yes I agree it’s being reasonable - just had a friend being dramatic. Thank u all

I can see why you are hurt but unless he tests positive no one wants this. He can look after you better if he’s not I’ll himself

Lots of people even try to isolate from other family at home

Of course he's right to stay away! Cases are rising at the moment. We're never going to get on top of this thing if people knowingly put themselves in positions where they're likely to catch it.

It would be quite selfish of you to expect him to stay and look after you. That might be a red flag for him!
