Last night she was coughing in a manner my asleep brain read as "gross", so unconsciously noped the fuck out of there and slept on the sofa. I can't believe my non-awake brain got it.

She tested positive a few hours ago, so now I just have 7 days to worry. I probably have it, I feel a bit off already.

I know that it's more than most people, but she was wearing low quality masks, going to a non-safe dentist at peak times, and avoiding the booster. I've been nicely pushing her for years, and she brings this shit home. She's also sorry, and I say it's fine because I want her to feel better and recover, but secretly I'm fucking raging.

Sorry to rant. Better on Hexbear than out loud.

I see the other responses that you shouldn't be too angry at your partner and i think I mostly agree with that, but I also feel where you're coming from.

to my knowledge, I've had covid only once. it was November 2020, and I got it from my at-the-time partner who was working at a place ran by a conspiracy theorist who believed in ancient giants and didn't believe in covid, so they didn't wear masks in the workplace. my partner started feeling off and went and got tested. it was positive. my partner told their boss who replied "oh, those are actually the same symptoms I've been having lately!"

we did our best to isolate them in the small place we lived but I still ended up testing positive a few days later :/

Ive had covid once as well. I got it from my chud father. We went on a road trip to my uncles birthday. He started feeling sick when we arrived and refused to mask, barely distracted. He got me and 5 other people sick including my 80 year old uncle. At this point we both had covid and had to drive home. My partner drove, we had masks on my father refused. We made a rest stop and my father went inside without a mask. I snapped, he ended up ditching us on the side of the road in another state. Driving off with a mask on. We rented a car.
