We're going to get covid aren't we

[tyyyyyyvsdgrvhdxgdx]

Obvious name change due to this being outing.

My partner went to a gig in London this weekend. I asked him not to go due to all the covid stuff but it caused a huge row & he went anyway.

I don't even really care about covid & we've worked throughout but we're going to end up isolating over bloody Christmas. DS first Christmas he has any idea what's going on & he's so excited. I'm just full of pure rage.

We're both double vax but with AZ - neither of us eligible for a booster yet.

Apparently he's going to his Christmas party (a night out) next week as well plus other social events.

I understand it's Christmas but he's going to ruin my 2 weeks off isolating with bloody covid. I physically hate him right now but what can I do? Leave him? I couldn't find somewhere else to live before Christmas anyway.

It's pretty certain he's going to have picked it up isn't it? Omicron is the dominant variant in London now. My mum is CEV & looks after our son and I'm so worried he will make her I'll.

I'm just ranting really. I'm so angry I'm just sad.

I know I would be concerned for my baby as per below information from The Mayo Clinic. A baby or child may be fine but I certainly wouldn't take any chances with an unvaccinated child or baby of mine.

By Mayo Clinic - How are babies affected by COVID-19?
Babies under age 1 might be at higher risk of severe illness with COVID-19 than older children. This is likely due to their immature immune systems and smaller airways, which make them more likely to develop breathing issues with respiratory virus infections.

My child is not under 1.

I must be missing something as I thought you said it was your babies first Christmas. Either way as I previously said a baby or child may be fine but I certainly wouldn't take any chances with an unvaccinated child or baby of mine. If you have no worries for your baby that is great.

Hope nobody catches it op.

I'm not worried about either of us (me or DS) getting it. Neither of us are likely to be particularly poorly. Whilst I'd rather he wasn't Ill he's got a new cold most weeks tbh.

I don't want to ruin Christmas isolating & I'm worried my DM could be very poorly.

I think the poster that said it's more about his thoughtlessness than getting covid has hit the nail on the head. If he picked it up at work ( or I did) or DS at an activity or in any other walk of normal life then I'd just accept it and get on with it.

I think it's that he took additional risk that I feel we're unnecessary and has risked our Christmas by doing so. I've found his whole attitude towards it selfish and I'm surprised he so quickly disregarded my feelings about it.

I think this is why I'm so angry about it. I don't want to ruin my relationship over covid but equally maybe he's showing his true colours. In normal times I'd never of had an issue with him doing as he pleased regarding night our etc and so I guess this has never really come up.

He was a bit selfish a few times when I was pregnant but I put it down to being hormonal and miserable myself and now I find myself questioning if he's actually just a bit of a dick.

But only he would have to isolate – close contacts are advised to keep taking daily LFTs but go about their business as usual. So you wouldn't be stuck indoors for ten days.

Well I would be because I wouldn't be able to have any family round at Christmas as he would be here. Equally I would risk family & friends Christmas mixing when we had a household care - then I'd be selfish just like he's been.

Then I'd inevitably get it & be isolating at Christmas.

He's testing negative on LFT but how has a cough and it's day 3 so I'm pretty sure he's got it. No PCR tests available so having to wait for a home test kit.

I've told him I actually don't want to be with him anymore. He's been so disrespectful throughout. Stuck here until after Christmas st least. He is refusing to leave.

& now he's tested positive and Christmas is ruined. I expect we'll follow soon although I have now isolated him to a bedroom.

I can't wait to leave him and his selfish lifestyle as soon as we're out of isolatation

Your anger is disproportionate, but then this is probably about much more than him going to a gig, which he wasn’t wrong to do.

I’ve been out lots to nightclubs and pubs since august, been to packed gigs, been to shows etc all the places that I could have picked it up and haven’t 🤷‍♀️ It’s not a given and I’m certainly not putting my life on hold for what if, I’m triple jabbed and have done what is asked so far

Just seen your update OP, that’s terribly unlucky

@AlaskaThunderfuckHiiiiiiiii

Just seen your update OP, that’s terribly unlucky

It's not unlucky really... it was almost inevitable! It's maybe unlucky that the OP is married to a buffoon. I hope you manage to make Christmas special for your DC somehow

Op do not worry. He may not get it at all. Please take care because anxiety is bad too for your health. Even he gets you may not get it.

ratussbaguss
Completely agree with you.

Oh sorry just read your update.

@ratussbaguss ok how was it inevitable? My previous post states how many extremely packed places I’ve been and haven’t caught it so the point I was making was that it wasn’t a given he would definitely catch it from the gig, unfortunately he has

I'm so sorry, you poor thing. He sounds really selfish.

Assuming you’re over 18, you are eligible for a booster. Book online, will take about 10 minutes atm.

if my partner told me not to go to a gig I really wanted to go to, I'd tell him to piss off! I've just come back from London myself and don't feel it's 'inevitable' that I have Covid. And if I do, well, it's only a matter of time before it's everywhere again.

@Theblacksheepandme She said it’s DS’s first Christmas that he knows what’s happening, so he’s 2 or 3.

MereDintofPandiculation
How very perceptive of you.

it was almost inevitable

Not really.

Positive on a LFT? A PCR home test wouldn't come back that soon.

Just seen your update. You poor thing. No wonder you’re raging

Its ALREADY everywhere again... that's why I'm saying its inevitable 🙄 catch up with the news everyone

The OP says that he had multiple social events planned for the coming week as well. My comment that it was inevitable was based on him attending those plus the gig. I stand by that. It's already spread like wildfire and I do think if you go to multiple events right now inside with no masks then you will get covid.

You haven't caught it because the rates were low until very recently. Same as everyone else who hasn't caught it recently
