Hello, need advice and opinions... Sorry this will be long but wanna make sure all is told.
I’m early 40’s, wifey is mid 30’s, we’ve been married 14 years. We have two children, kindergarten and 6th grade.
Right before X-Mas my wife and kids tested positive for Covid. House full of Covid. Very thankfully kids had mild symptoms, wifey had few more symptoms. During that time I kept testing negative. We wore masks 24/7 inside the house and didn’t go anywhere. They all recover and all of them tested negative. Somehow I and tested positive Jan 15th. My symptoms were mild (loss of taste, few headaches a bit of congestion). I loaded up on vitamins and made a quick recovery with a quick negative test..... We all had multiple negative tests after getting it. Wife had 2 negatives in a week, which was a required for her to return to work.
Fast forward, Jan 26 ish wifey started getting symptoms again. We both tested, I was negative and she was positive again. After getting 2 negatives 10 days prior. After her getting that positive she tested twice more with two negatives. But was stilll having symptoms that were similar to her first time having it. To this day it’s unknown if she never fully recovered or got it again. The negative tests she was getting makes this situation strange.
At this point I am fine, feeling great and my kids as well. Wifey each day is slowly getting better.
Yesterday with permission from wifey, I take my kids to an outdoor community exercise event. Social distancing was being honored and I kept my distance while wearing a mask along with my kids, who were riding their scooters. During the event about 10 of our good friends kids (all the kids know each other, there weren’t any “stranger” kids) were there and I allowed my kids to play outdoors with them. I told my kids they could take off their masks and just play. Outdoors with their friends. I made the conscious decision they are ok not wearing a masks, no other kids had them on. The playground was supervised by event coordinator (a friend of ours).
I get home, and own up to it. I told her I allowed them to not wear masks around their friends outdoors.... Based on that WWIII has erupted and we are on the brink of divorce.... Seriously. Being completely honest our marriage is great! Minor disagreements here and there, but overall and in general we are very happily married.
Her point of view- I disregarded her health and safety, and don’t care about her. By doing what I did I jeopardized her life. Basically I said “F you.”
My point of view- I stand by what I did. Based on what “experts” say people who recover from Covid have antibodies and chances are slim of getting it again within a few weeks. I have no issue allowing my kids to play with their friends outdoors at a park and ride scooters together.... I am not gonna live my life in fear of Covid. Especially since we have or currently am overcoming it. I have apologized and asked for forgiveness.. It ain’t happening. What’s done is done.
Please help! Any any advice is appreciated!
