Did he catch covid from female colleague

[Toolateloser]

DP works in a small office, most of the workers have had covid and we/DP has never had it in all the 2.5 years. A female colleague was off with it last week and now we all have it in the house.

Its made me feel uneasy that we’ve never had covid the whole time, then suddenly this woman gets it and we have it the week after (he got symptoms first then me and the DC).

Am i being completely out of order for suggesting this/asking him outright if they’ve had close/inappropriate contact?

Hes had an affair with a colleague (at a different work place, years ago) before (not on me, but on his ex), we’re otherwise trusting of each other.

Covid is very contagious, you don't have to be up close and personal to catch it. This seems to be a more general trust issue

Yes, you are being unreasonable.

Its not an STD

Trust is an all or nothing thing, you can't trust someone 'apart from one thing'. You don't trust him.

Where he got COVID from is anybody's guess, and you certainly don't need inappropriate contact with someone to catch it.

The more concerning thing is how small a trigger it takes to set you off worrying. It doesn't really suggest that you feel any stability at all with him.

Unless you have any other reasons to doubt him (and ‘we have a trusting relationship’ doesn’t sound like you do) then YABVU

I don't think you trust him AT ALL. I would think you bizarre in the extreme for assuming I'd had an affair cos I'd had Covid.

I know someone who caught it recently and I don't think it was from snogging or anything, just one of those things.

He could have caught Covid from her just by simply sitting in the same room as her.

In fact to be honest you don’t really have anyway of knowing for certain who you all caught Covid from unless she is literally the only person anyone in your household has been into contact with recently.

😂😂😂

Okay honestly, you're being completely ridiculous. Is there something else that's making you think this way? I don't think this sounds like a very rational train of thought unless there's a backstory you're not mentioning.

What a bizarre reaction. He could have got it going to the supermarket or wherever.

Oh my gosh!! Does this mean I should be worried about my dad and my husband when they caught it one after the other. Eek

@Looneytune253 😂 naughty gets

Thank you everyone. I’ll keep my mouth shut 🤫

Im really poorly and clearly not thinking straight!

There's been 2 years of COVID being so contagious we've had to wear masks, lock down and stay 2m apart. It's supposedly super contagious. If it was spread by kissing then we'd have been fine and no need for the societal and economic upheaval

Just when you thought covid craziness couldn't get any worse, have the past 2.5 years passed by, covid isn't a exually transmitted disease

In every workplace colleagues have been passing it around, no sexual contact involved

Covid is very strange disease, and how you catch it. But it's all due to your own immune system and how strong it is.
Been jabbed 3times and this year I manged to get it twice (Jan and Aug) and my partner not jabbed didnt get it at all, despite Covid been in the household a few times this year.

YES.

I am fully vaccinated and have not had covid till last week. I have not been up close and personal with anyone at all yet I still tested positive last week. So no, your DH does not need to have been licking women to have caught it.

You would be completely out of order to ask him - I definitely didn't get up close and personal with anyone to catch covid. You really don't trust him, do you?

Covid made me really emotional - almost hormonal like

I don't think it's anything to worry about as you don't need particularly close contact.

My DP had it and didn't take isolating mega seriously. Me and Dd missed it

3 months later Dd had it. I was cuddling her when she felt crap and let her sleep in my bed & I didn't get it

5 months later I got it. Still no idea where from, could've been anywhere including from male colleagues. I never had any inappropriate contact

How can you not know after nearly three years of the virus, that Covid is transmitted through the air by breathing? How can you not know?

You need to chill. He might have stood next to her in the kitchen. You don’t need to be having sex in the loo’s to catch covid

I hope you’re all feeling better soon OP, I found the brain fog afterwards the worst! I’m with the PP in saying it’s unlikely he’s done anything untoward unless you have other suspicions. He could have got it from touching an unsanitised surface she’s touched/breathed or coughed on or from simply being in the same room as her.
I managed to catch Covid after 2.5 years after my Covid-ridden colleague popped in to get something from the printer next to me and we had a quick chat.
48 hours later BAM, hit me like a tonne of bricks.

Obviously they have been at it in the stationery cupboard
