Hi,

Can someone help I don’t know if I’m wrong here or not.

Me and my partner were due to go away with the weekend with friends. I tested positive for covid on Wednesday and so therefore couldn’t go. I was really upset as we’ve been looking forward to it for months. He is currently still negative however I think it is likely he will get it as we have been together all week.

He was trying to decide whether to go without me or not I told him to decide himself as I wasn’t making the decision for him. After much deliberation he decided to go. He also said it cost a lot of money so didn’t want to waste it but we were able to cancel the hotel so would only have been flights however I’m sure we could have claimed through our insurance. I’m now on my own for the next 4 days with no one here and not feeling great with symptoms. My son is at his dad’s since I have covid and I’m staying away from my parents to make sure they don’t get it from me (My mum is vulnerable).

I’m really upset and feel like if it was the other way around I would never have went without him. He said he might regret it if he didn’t go. I already have a few other things going on right now and feel like everything is just going wrong. I just found out last week my mum is really ill with heart issues. She is really not well and I’ve been really upset and worried about her all week and he knows I’ve been struggling.

Am I wrong to say that he should have stayed with me?

I agree OP - if you really didn't want him to go you should've said so! You can't say 'It's up to you' and then be pissed off when he chooses to go. Communication is really important in a LT relationship and it sounds like you need to work on it. I hope you feel better soon from Covid.

If you didn’t want him to do why didn’t you say so? YOU told him to make the decision and because he made the ‘wrong’ decision you’re not happy You’re unreasonable!

If you wanted him to stay you should have said so! Hope you feel better soon.
