How did you and your spouse handle sleeping arrangements when one of you had COVID?

[Pimpadeaux 2,405]

Just curious. 

This has happened in my home.

(All wife-sleeping jokes welcome here without being reported.)

[Bier Meister 1,686]

I camped out in the guest room

You should have gotten the vaxxes, then you wouldn't be able to catch it or give it to each other.

[Thornton Melon 618]

My wife got it in early July '22. When she started getting symptoms, we still slept in the same bed. When she tested positive, I slept on this uncomfortable foam thingy on our bedroom floor. After 2 nights of that, and a bad back, I said "fock this", and went back to our bed. We stayed as far on our own sides of our queen bed as possible, and I didn't catch it.

[Hawkeye21 2,390]

I stayed in the basement. 

[5-Points 3,467]

We didn't change anything. We both slept in our bed when the other had it and neither of us got sick from the other.

 

[edjr 6,580]

Girl and I don’t sleep in same room. she watches TV and goes to sleep after 1 am. I go to sleep around 10 with a loud fan going.

I usually sleep with my son, when he had it, nothing changed. I didn’t get it either time he had it.

 

[GutterBoy 2,898]

First time I got it I told my wife I was gonna sleep in the basement, she told me no, she wanted me in our bed so she could help me if I needed it.  She never got it.

Every time after that nothing changed, slept in same bed.

[TommyGavin 790]

None of my immediate family got COVID. 

[RLLD 4,191]

No change.  Neither of us was in the small group of people pointedly threatened by the virus. So we, not unlike most others, just got sick and got over it.

[Cloaca du jour 2,148]

Reverse cowgirl so Im not breathing in your wife's face.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

Why dont you ask all the local hillbillies running that train on your blow up doll instead of asking here? And a blow up doll cant catch covid, youre safe idiot.

This.  We've never tested positive, but probably have had it.  If we did, and passed it to each other, our immunity is probably stronger because of it.

[thegeneral 3,100]

Separate beds when sick typically. Mostly out of comfort TBH,

I sent her to a nursing home, like my hero Andrew Cuomo.

How focking ghey is this thread?

[Pimpadeaux 2,405]

The wife tested positive for COVID yesterday and had the same symptoms I had with a minor illness about two weeks ago. I got over mine within days, with just some congestion and maybe a low-grade fever, and she's already up and around today. Whatever I had two weeks ago just felt like seasonal allergies or a mild cold, but I guess it was COVID.

We slept in the same bed last night as usual. I figure I either had it two weeks ago and am immune now, or I'd already been so exposed to it that there was no point and moving to another bedroom.

I suppose the two shots and one booster prevented more severe cases, and I don't have to worry about getting this new seasonal vaccine.

This. We didn't change anything 

[supermike80 1,876]

Covid, flu, cold, etc.....Wife and I would sleep separate in those situations.  Mostly because if one of us was sick, it led to restlessness, snoring, hot AF cause of a fever or whatever.  Treat all of the same.   it was never about not catching it, it was about respecting the non sick spouse and letting them rest peacefully.

[RogerDodger 797]

  WTF?

I can't believe people are even testing for it anymore.

Honestly, you live together, you're transferring germs and everything almost constantly. 

I never understood spouses or parents that would quarantine in their own homes. 

Kind of like when a child brings home head lice. You have to disinfect and wash EVERYTHING to eliminate the lice. CoVid is so small, you'd have to move out, disinfect everything, wash everything if you truly wanted to quarantine. IMO.

We really only separate if one of us has a stomach bug or the coughing is so bad that the other cannot sleep. 

But I am also married to a Sasquatch, so even sleeping in another room doesn't help; he's very loud.

This is what we do.

Yeah people told me about how their kids got covid and they made them stay in their room for 7 days.  We let our kids do whatever they wanted.  It's hard enough for the kid being sick, don't isolate them.

[jerryskids 6,709]

A couple years ago I think we maybe slept in separate beds.  Just a few weeks ago my wife had a cold, no fever but general blahs, we stayed in the same bed (king bed) but with no contact.  I maybe got what she had, but my respiratory tract is focked up so it is hard to tell.

or to Rusty:

I slept with my engorged peemus in your wife's mouf so she wouldn't breathe on me.

One of  my best friends did this with her daughter, fed her through the door, wouldn't let her out for like two weeks.  I thought that was horrible. 

[avoiding injuries 1,555]

When I got it I lost taste so I checked into the ICU at my local trauma center. 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,229]

I hope you didn’t let the cats stay in the bed.

Holy schit, how many times have you had it?

[Hardcore troubadour 15,229]

I only got it after I got the shot so I just went on as normal. Went to work, out etc. Biden told me I couldn’t spread it. 

[BuckSwope 654]

She has asthma and other things, so if I get sick I usually just camp on the couch so there is less chance she gets sick.  If she gets sick I usually DGAF and sleep as usual.

Can confirm. Your mom runs out of breath when she's bobbing on my throbber. But then again, she gets winded just bending over to put on her shoes.

Three that I know of.  Got the OG covid in March 2020, that was rough.  Then I got it again day after Christmas in 2021, not too bad, then again the next summer 2022, and it was just a minor cold.  My wife was really sick that time.  We had some old tests and I took one for sh!ts and giggles, came back positive.  Since then I've gotten colds but fock testing anymore.

Actually no fat and unhealthy people get sick a lot.  A virus doesn't care how much you can squat, retard.

Imagine being so frail that you have to work from home and still get covid multiple times.

Okay. 

So my husband and I work from home and he and the kids have had it once, I've had it twice. It's got nothing to do with frailty. 

That said, it doesn't mean that we still don't go out into the world, or our kids don't bring home stuff from their school or workplaces. There are still unsympathetic azzholes out there that leave the house SICK and go to work at grocery stores, restaurants, or other places. I'd say that it's not the frail ones fault, more so those that haven't learned that if you are sick (with ANYTHING) stay the fock home and try not to spread your illness.

Dodger is just trying to get in a dig at me.  He's so desperate.
