Self isolation

[Alicia51]

I got a message from nhs test and trace and need to self isolate, my partner thinks it's all nonsense and I should go to work which I have refused, he said if I lose my job he will.not be happy.

Well they cant fire you for self isolation. Screenshot the app notice and send it to your work.

Is your partner normally a bit of an arsehole? Does he work?

He's in a very well.paid job and is able to work from home, I'm in a school hours pt min wage job which started last December.Yes he is he makes me feel like his opinion is more important than mine, he's a manager and in trying to persuade me to go to work said he would fire me if I worked for him

So that would be a yes, he is normally an asshole then :/

I mean it might be that being stuck in all day,he feels like he needs his space sometimes. But thats still no need for him to be an emotionally manipulative cuntwamble.

Does he own the home?
What do you feel you get from this relationship atm? I mean, does he make you happy? Or does he just make you stressed, miserable and on edge?

It's both ours , he isn't working from home atm I'm just pointing out that he has the flexibility to be home if needed without there being an consequences from his employer. You ask what I get from the relationship which I also ask myself sometimes.,In the past he has done things which I don't agree with smd pressured me into things im not comfortable with but he's the type of guy who is the big I am ,look how good my ideas are you would be stupid not to agree with me attitude

Another bully :(

I'd start taking steps to get free of him op. He sounds more like a jailer than a partner.

I have these periods where I see all of his behaviours for.what they are and also I am settled and so used to it I just brush it off and go with what he says, this self isolation me standing up for myself was actually out of character for me I am normally someone to go with what he says

Just to add the other week he should have self isolate but decided to drive 40 miles to his office and take a walk round the village at lunch , he said that because the office was empty and he was walking alone then this is ok

He sounds crap, frankly. Do you need support in deciding what to do from here?

I would of thought if you work in a school and you didn’t self isolate after being told to, you would get the sack. You could also get a fine.
Your partner hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about.

I am an employment lawyer. Your partner is wrong. So wrong. You could be dismissed for going to work!
