I 'll probably do another thread in relationships re this but too raw right now.
I just want to know where stand law wise..
Split with 'D' P last month. Still living together (his house not mine) because of circumstances (mainly money) and the pandemic. Live as housemates basically. Trying to be amicable but hard at times but manage most of time. He has been emotionally involved with a female friend for a long time . Not physically cheating as she's abroad and her marriage has just broken up now. I feel it's been emotionally cheating but that's not my q here so won't go into detail on this particular area.
Anyway I'll try and stick to the facts here otherwise will waffle and get over emotional (as I said, v raw)
We live in England. He's going to her country (Italy) at end of month, for a two week holiday staying with her. We know he'll have to quarantine when he's back (two weeks I think)..
He is staying with her only, no idea if they'll see others. She mixes with others as on of her jobs is teaching. She has this job and about two other jobs, cleaning etc, she will be out doing these for some of his stay.
I work with the public (v busy retail) but they are Covid strict. If i was to go abroad I'd have to quarantine for two weeks when back as unpaid leave.
He has lost all work so he can stay at home when back.
My question is... do I have to quarantine too as I will have been living with someone who has just been abroad??
That would really really add insult to injury as you can imagine.
I know I don't have to tell them but I'm not going to do that and lie! He's put me in this position.
Is there one law for this England wise or should i contact my company for their policy.. I feel sick about this

Phew I'm at least relieved re that as that would be the ultimate rubbing my face into wounds and it's bad enough as is hearing them on skype daily making plans for the trip and New Years Eve (when I'll be alone for the first time ever). Is a weird law gap though with both us women going out to work and he's the one been on plane!
