Husband not following advice

[Cfdmorris]

So, DH plays football with group of older blokes once a week in local gym sports hall. They’ve been playing together for years. Last night he still went despite being 66 and government advice to stay 2m away and socially isolate. The blokes “had a chat” and agreed that they would continue to play while the gym was still open. I’m very annoyed the DH is being cavalier about this, that the blokes in general are taking no responsibility and saying that government is telling them to continue exercise so it’s ok, and at gym cause they ate not stopping bookings for team sports. AIBU to think he is being selfish and irresponsible. He won’t listen to my concerns and gets angry when I say he shouldn’t go

Aren’t stopping not ate!!!

If he has no underlying conditions or showing symptoms, nor someone else in the house with symptoms right now then hes fine
Otherwise I'd agree with you

I agree with you. That’s a non essential social gathering.

What have symptoms got to do with it? People can be asymptomatic and it's not essential. I can't believe people still don't comprehend. Op your husband is extremely unreasonable and putting you at risk knowingly. I feel for you

I'm only going off the current advice. Excersize is essential for health and wellbeing. Their not wrestling or boxing or another very close contact sport. I wouldnt think this comes under a large gathering or a confined space either.
I assume the next stage that the pm plans probably will instruct against gym sports etc etc.

My ex is exactly the same, we still live together at the moment, I've just got off the phone to 111 as my DD has a cough/cold and had a temperature I've got a snotty nose cold they have said they don't know if it's Corona and can't say but to isolate for 14 this means ex as well!! I text to tell him and his reply was well obviously I'll still go to work and football!! How selfish !!

It is non essential social contact so I totally agree with you.
