Am I being unreasonable?

Am I being unreasonable?

A month ago, my husband’s best friend’s little brother died unexpectedly of a severe asthma attack. This Saturday there’s a memorial party in his honor in Philly. Now we live a good 2 hours away in northern NJ and NJ is constantly adding states to the travel advisory list. Now, originally we were both going to go, but then numbers started creeping again after things started opening, so we decided the boys and I would stay home. I know his bestie has been quarantined, as have we, so he slept over Tuesday night, to help himself feel better by being with family (he’s both boys’ Gd father). With numbers changing, and after hearing him talk to his mom on the phone about the amount of food they need (so masks off to eat), I don’t feel comfortable with Matt going, and I told him so. I told him that if he goes, he’s putting all of us at risk, making me feel like he’s putting his friend over our safety. I also told him that if he goes he has to quarantine for 2 weeks, and not at home (there’s no reasonable place here for him to do that anyways) because I don’t want him to bring something into the house. It’s not fair to me to be a single mom for 2 weeks because of a friend. I get that our friend is hurting, but we were there for him on Tuesday/Wednesday, and he knows he can repeat at any time. Our family’s safety needs to come first.

He’s upset, but not angry, but he waited until I went outside to come up from the office to grab his lunch.

He is caught between keeping his family safe and supporting his friend. You are caught between supporting your husband and protecting your family. You're both adults and will work this out. Gently tell him that you're really sorry and you want to support him going, and under normal circumstances that you would, but that you hope he understands why you are so adamant that he stay home. I'm so sorry you have to be in such a position. But stick to it. If you didn't have children then it would be one thing, but you have children and he has a responsibility to keep them safe under all circumstances. If he were to bring something home to them he would never forgive himself. My condolences to the family for their loss. I hope your husband will find a way to support his friend from the safety of your home.

@lizibear84 We are also a high risk family so I understand and relate. But either way, he has a responsibility to protect his family, and you are part of that family-high risk or not. I'm so sorry you guys have to go through this and I hope you can come to an understanding. Best of wishes. Stay well!!!!

I agree with you. We had a family member pass and we haven't been able tondo a service yet. It doesn't honor the loved one to all get sick yourselves.
