Avoiding covid when it's in the house?

[ReviewingTheSituation]

DH tested positive this morning. He had mild cold symptoms on Monday, tested negative Mon and Tues, positive today. I'm still testing negative.
We have no plans to totally isolate from each other for 10 days, but what about sleeping? Should one of us sleep in the spare room?

I've heard of so many households where not everyone gets it, and of course plenty where everyone does too. I'm kind of 'what will be will be'. In some ways, I'd rather just have it now it's in the house - it will come to us all sooner or later, after all, but then part of me wonders if I should be doing whatever I can to avoid it. Given that he's been symptomatic for 3 days (and therefore most likely infectious), surely the damage is done?

What have other people done when it first 'hits'?

Hit our house for the second time. Did nothing different, dd caught it, then dh. At one point we all slept in our bed together and I didn't catch it from either of them.

Everyone in our house had omicron recently. We ate together, slept in same bed as dh etc and I never caught it! I even took a PCR test just in case, but I never tested positive.

I tried to keep away from the other 2 infected but succumbed in the end, still recovering.

Carried on as usual in our house. DH did not catch it despite sharing a bed as usual.

DCs debatable. DS1 didn't test positive. DS2 had a squinter of a line and was off colour for a couple of days. It was rife through school in the week where I was exposed anyway.

Not that we have a spare bed avaliable for separating, it's been piled up against the wall for nearly two years to accommodate the world's fugliest office desk.

When either me or DP are ill we have tended to sleep in the spare room pre-Covid (since when we had one)... so it was natural that we did so when one of us got Covid.

I really don't get why people would want to sleep next to a coughing spluttering partner when they had a bed elsewhere. Even when just bunged up, there tends to be a lot of snoring.

Also, when I'll myself, I tend to be quite restless, and I don't like the feeling of disturbing my DP, and prefer a quiet room on my own.

DS1 started with it in our house the first time (delta). Once DH tested positive he moved to the spare room and we isolated from each other from that point forward, DS2 also caught it, but I didn't.

Second time, DS2 caught it (omicron) but noone else did. I was the only one to avoid it both times but I'd been around all household cases before their positive LFTs, helped with the tests, drove DSs to their PCRs and DS2 sneezed/coughed on me both times he had it on the days he tested positive.

I did daily LFTs for 10 days after each person tested positive both times and nothing. I've also been notified I've been to a venue with a covid outbreak a few times and not caught it then either.

If DH had caught it the second time I would have sent him to the spare room again even though I am a) feeling bionic and superhuman and b) starting to accept it won't go away and I probably won't get away with it forever.

We’ll our dd has caught it a second time after us being exposed at a friends. It was 5 months ago she had the last covid.
Didn’t catch it the first time when kids had it but just been on holiday for a few days playing board games with kids so not sure I’ll be so lucky this time. Worried as my DF here and has terminal cancer and we are due to go to DN party for his birthday. The little things matter when there is not much time left and I hope he doesn’t catch it! He was coughing yesterday but he has metastases in lungs🙁

I didn't get it when everyone in my house did but tbh I increasingly wonder if I did and the test just didn't detect it. Certainly didn't do anything to try and stop myself getting it once DC did.

I caught Covid from work just before Christmas, suspect it was Omicron.

No one else in the house caught it. We decided that I would isolate away from DH and the DC as our youngest DC has had surgery on his respiratory system and is vulnerable to viral infections. We have always been worried about him catching it as he has been hospitalised with colds before.
