Sharing the house with my ex.....lockdown breach

I currently live in the marital home with my ex, it’s soon to be sold.

We both have new partners and in the most part we are amicable.

DS17 lives in the house with us.

Ex husband stays out 2-3 nights per week and I enjoy having the house with just me and my son. Now we have new lockdown rules my ex tells me that he is not breaking the rules. But he is out and not coming home this evening.

Am I being unreasonable to suggest that he makes a choice, move in with his gf, or stick to the rules. His gf is a school teacher. Or should I keep quiet and hope for the best.

I’m annoyed as he hasn’t had the respect to speak to me about it and blatantly lied about being compliant. It seems he’s happy to risk COVID transmission. As much as I am tempted not to, I’m sticking to the lockdown rules and ds17 is too sticking to the rules and not seeing is gf as she is not in his school bubble.

I’m aware that I may come across as a bitter ex wife. I’m not jealous. It just bugs me that he is making up his own rules when the rest of us are doing our best to keep to them.

What should I do, if anything?

Well, what are the rules currently about support bubbles? Are they a separate bubble?

Practically, probably all you can do is minimize contact and shared space with your ex. You can't physically stop him from seeing his GF. Of course he should be worried about transmission and not bringing anything back to you but doesn't seem like he's thinking that way
