Disappointing

[Sal62]

I'm seeing a man who lives with his mum, it suits me as I don't want to live with anyone. I was ill recently and he said it was best if he didn't come over as he might catch it.

He posted a COVID test through my letterbox while I was asleep. (Negative)

I'm hurt as I would have been round and made him something to eat etc. I was alone three days before he would come in.
I'm now thinking we're best just as mates?

I hear there are a lot of false negatives around at the moment. Did he ring you a lot? Is his mum vulnerable?

Tbh, if his mum is vulnerable, I understand why he wouldn’t come in.

His mum's late 80s.

So there’s your answer. Understandable he doesn’t want to be indoors with someone he thinks has covid.

Your over-reacting. He doesn't want to give his mum Covid (or anything else)

So You don’t have covid - but he can still catch a flu or cold from you, why should he want that? I don’t see why so many people assume it’s just a given that other people want to catch their cold when they could easily just wait a few more days then see them

I'd never expect anyone outside my household (or anyone in it, come to that) to spend time with me if I'm ill. That increases their risk of catching whatever I had, and why would I want that for anyone?

If his mum is in her 80s, that makes it even more important that he doesn't pass anything on to her.

In the nicest possible way, I think you need to cut the guy some slack!

I'm struggling to understand the problem. He's not being unreasonable for not wanting to risk catching whatever it is you have, covid or otherwise.
