Dp is booking a trip to north italy to watch a few sporting fixtures. Regularly has sporting holidays with his mates.
It is only a long weekend, but will be flying into and staying in the areas that have been affected by coronavirus.
He is booking it this weekend and going next weekend. Although advice is not to go to these areas of italy he said he isnt bothered and wont catch anything anyway.

AIBU to persuade him not to go? I know its his trip, im not going and nothing to do with me but think its a stupid move to still book and go!!
Said when he comes back he will not self isolate and will carry on as normal. Am i over reacting, is it not as bad as the media make out? He cant see my problem!

He has said he isnt self isolating despite what is advised and is going to work as normal.

Are you serious? He could well infect tens or hundreds of innocent people who are themselves trying hard to avoid the virus. I have close family and friends with severe asthma and I'm worried for them.

Yes, call his work and tell them where he's been!

is he completely stupid? Does he not give a shit about his family?

Grufallosfriends · 10/03/2020 07:46

Your DH will almost certainly have colleagues with underlying health issues, at least warn his manager so they can tell him not to come in!

My mother has cancer and will die if she gets coronavirus, she has self isolated to protect herself and I haven't seen her for months. I have to skype her.
One contact with someone like your "D" P would devastate our family.

This won't be an isolated incident. If you think about it there will be other signs about how selfish he is, how he knows better than the experts, how he rubbishes your concerns, thoughts and feelings.
At least you know what you're getting with him.

As others have said, he could cause someone to die. Do you think his colleagues have the right to know?

He works in a small office with about 6 others, they all know he was away and where he went as he was open about it and posted on social media too.
We differ massively on this topic and we just have to agree to disagree with each other on this as i will just get pissed off more with him and get irritated.

Please inform his manager and keep away from him for 14 days.

Irresponsible shit.

Is he still going to the loo and not washing his hands op?
That alone would end it for me, manky get.

Quartz2208 · 10/03/2020 08:26

this would seriously make me rethink a relationship with him

whatareyoucooking · 10/03/2020 11:06

Looks like Italy is on full lockdown now op. He still going?

Egghead68 · 10/03/2020 11:13

it seems he has been and come back @whatareyoucooking but is refusing to follow government orders to self-isolate for 14 days.
