Am I being paranoid? Why do I feel guilty...

So; little background.

My whole family have had covid and on day 10 we finally got a negative test.

I still feel rotten and my 9m dd is still poorly with temperature on and off throughout the day- snotty and cough.

It has been awful for me and the baby as I've had nearly no help from my partner. So I haven't had time to recover myself as she doesn't sleep well as it is. I'm drained and feel awful.

Anyway fast forward. My partner is due to see his DS3 today. DSS3 and his mum have also got covid and still testing positive. DSS3 mum and I have been in contact and we both said if either of them or my partner are still positive then today will have to be rearranged.

Fast forward more to this morning. DSS3 mum has emailed and she is still testing very positive- we are all negative.

My partner said he still wants to go see his son; absolutely fine (we are a happy blended family btw before anyone on here says anything!) but I have said I would hate for him to bring anything back as our dd is still very much poorly. And it's me who would be struggling- I think it would kill me off if dd got even more poorly then I did too!

Anyway, he's made me feel so guilty. Said it's impossible for us to be reinfected so soon. And he was looking forward to seeing DSS.

I don't want to be sat here feeling guilty all day- so what are the odds? Am I being over the top? I guess because I've been so sick with it, I'm just overly cautious.

I had done some research and what I have read is that there's no real evidence on infections being caught so quickly etc. also if we had different strains/variants it's possible for him to catch it and bring it to us. We live in different parts of the country.

What should I do?

Not sure if I mentioned that DSS is still showing symptoms of covid too.

You will not catch Covid off them again this quickly. If that were the case then it would be a continuing cycle round the household.

Let him go. The chance of anyone being reinfected is very small indeed. When you all get in again in 3 months time then you stop him going.

But also tell him you feel rotten and he needs to step up when he gets back.

I’d let him go, chances of him being reinfected don’t quickly are so tiny.
