AIBU??- Partner wants to go to a BBQ

[fedup359]

We have a 16 week old baby and my partner wants to go to a BBQ tomorrow. Because it's at a work colleagues house he thinks it's ok. Never mind the other people that live in that house.

I said if he was to go he wasn't to step foot back home till he self isolated for 7 days to make sure he had no symptoms. I can't tell you the amount of grief I've got because of this. AIBU??

He's completely wrong. There is nothing that allows you to meet with people outside of your own home. That guidance still stands. At work he is working. That's different.

i’d say go and stay two metres apart.

Hopefully someone will report it if they see it closer to the area. Nope he shouldn't be going as it's still not allowed.

Because it's at a work colleagues house he thinks it's ok.

Eh?! Is he being wilfully ignorant or is he actually stupid?

If I had a 16 week old baby and my husband went to a bbq he wouldn’t be coming near my child for a couple of weeks.

Nobody should be hosting a bbq and inviting people who live elsewhere.

Your OH is being dense.

So sorry OP, you have a right dim wit on your hands there!

Is his name Spike?

No he shouldn't go and you should report the host to the police so they can receive their fine.

Even if you stay 2m apart you'll be handling plates, cutlery, glasses etc that other people have just touched.

Don't go.

Ask him if he would have done that a month ago. Of course he wouldn't & nothing has changed. He's a knob & his colleague needs reporting. WTF are they all thinking? Argh it makes me so fucking angry.

Out of interest, what's the occasion?

@winepls for a birthday

YANBU. He wouldn’t be coming back in the house for 14 days

He should isolate for 14 days. There are still a lot of people with the virus especially in those working with the public. A significant proportion will be asymptomatic.

Has this colleague invited other friends also? If yes, report to the police. So many ignorant idiots in this country

He sounds incredibly thick. You must feel very embarrassed on his behalf.....

This isn't ok and I'm pretty chilled about covid19 restrictions. People really shouldn't be having BBQs, parties etc.

If the father of my small baby wanted to do this I’d be questioning our relationship , as any person who could put you both at risk like this seriously has his priorities all wrong
Also he needs to self isolate for two weeks after not 7 days, where is he planning on staying ?

Buy him some sausages and tell him he can 'zoom in' on theirs if he's really that desperate to 'go'.

What an idiot!! YANBU xx

YNBU and he's a selfish idiot.

YANBU

Wrong wrong wrong of him. But sadly now restrictions have lifted people seem to be thinking more and more along the lines that they can cherry pick what suits them. He's probably saying oh it's ok well
Stay 2m apart. But you're especially not supposed to go to other people's' homes because of you go to the loo or inside the house you'll be touching Door knobs and loo flushes and tapes etc
He's an idiot

YANBU. My husband tested positive with barely any symptoms (coughed a few times but not excessive). You don't know who has it. Why would he want to potentially get it and pass it to his baby. I would be fuming, shows what he thinks of you two.

I would be seriously considering my future with someone so ignorant and uncaring about the risks to me and my baby. Sorry OP.
