Boyfriend out to see friends so I told him to stay away for 2 weeks.. AIBU?

[oreoxoreo]

Boyfriend normally stays at mine around 5 days per week, otherwise lives on his own.
He said he was going to two friends in London tonight, to drop an item at one and for a quick chat with another one. He stressed on 'it is a quick one and am going by car'. He doesn't see a problem?

I told him it is irresponsible and it is his choice, but in that case I cannot see him for the next 2 weeks. I have 2 DC and I am single mum, I really cannot afford to get ill.

He still goes out to work (little with people) and I have accepted this risk, but making a choice to pop in to friends for whatever reason... is a choice he doesn't have to make.

Feeling a bit down but hoping this was the right decision.

He is an idiot. I wouldn’t let him near me or DC’s.

He should be either staying at yours full time or staying at home full time. We're in a lockdown, it's been made explicitly clear that couples shouldn't see each other unless they live together.

Yanbu.

I'm not seeing my fiance. He's not being reckless but is a retail worker. I am a lone parent too so its the only sensible option.

It absolutely was the right decision and if he doesn't understand or respect that then he doesn't deserve to go the distance with you.

My boyfriend and I have agreed not to see each other for the next 11 weeks minimum. It's tough but its life. Anyone trying to bend the rules here at this point is not worthy of your trust.

Really sorts the men from the boys this situation.

YANBU

But if you don't live together you shouldn't be seeing each other anyway, even if he hadn't done this.

For the sake of not living together, it is like we are living together but he goes home once in a while, there isn't any people there, I don't see harm in this. Yesterday I found an article to support this.
However going for friend visits however short it is not okay.
I needed to hear that I am not wrong in this.

Well done on finding an article that goes against very specific government advice....

YANBU, he's being an idiot. But as others have said, Jenny Harries made very clear yesterday that if you don't live together you shouldn't be seeing each other (or that now might be a good time to test your relationship and move in together).

You dont live together so that's it. You dont see each other until this is over.

I wouldn't even move in together; you have children and he is still going out to work and visit people. If you move him in or even let him in for a visit anytime between now and end of lockdown then you are putting your children in danger. Your sex life is not worth putting them in danger.

You dont see him again until this is all over

I see. That means no moving in together for us an a separation likely for much longer.

I guess I am worried that I will lose my relationship over this, but then maybe it will show if there we are strong to survive. Like many other couples I suppose.
