Today, my husband has been isolating for 6 days in our bedroom, with me sleeping in the spare room, since his positive COVID test. I found instructions for how to fake the positive result on our shared iPad. He lied to get out of work, my birthday, and my parents' anniversary party. FML

Today, I learned my husband was told to isolate for 10 days but hid it from me and pretended to go to work every day, then snuck back home after I left to take the kids to daycare, and has basically had a chore and child-free holiday, playing Xbox every day. FML

Today, my husband found out that not only has he tested positive for influenza A, but also has tested positive for Covid 19. My work won't let me return until I have isolated for 14 days from someone with Covid. Our house is really small. FML

Today, I was tested positive for Covid-19, after suffering with some of the symptoms of the disease two days ago. Last week, I had to pretend I was infected with it to avoid going to a friend's party, as my ex-girlfriend would be there. Ain't life a bitch? FML

Sneaky

Today, I found out why my husband faked being sick on Thanksgiving. He was invited to Thanksgiving dinner by to the coworker he’s seeing. She was planning to introduce him to her family. He never told her he was married, so knowing I would tag along if he came, he faked having a “fever” so he couldn’t go out. FML

Today, my ex told my boss I’d been faking my negative Covid tests. A complete lie, but I had to take a test in front of my boss, just in case. It was positive. I have never faked a test and had no idea I was infected, but my boss fired me for faking tests. FML

Deception

Today, I found out my husband was faking his leg injury. I caught him out and about walking just fine, hand in hand with another woman. I’ve been caring for him, holding down the bills, and taking him to an "at home" chiropractor for the past 7 months. FML

Dealing with it

Today, my husband's idea of social isolation is to lock himself in his caravan with his Xbox, 200 cans of beer and a dozen takeaway menus. I’ve not seen him in 6 days, and when I tried to force entry to tell him to snap out of it, he sprayed disinfectant at me until I couldn’t breathe. FML

Today, my wife asked me for a divorce, shortly after I found out she's been having an affair. Then our county placed us on quarantine for Covid-19. Now I'm stuck living with her until it goes away. FML

Today, I discovered that my fiancé had tried to fake his own death because he thought it would be easier than confessing to the affair he was having. FML

Today, on the first day of the first week off together with my family in six months, we’re all quarantined with positive COVID tests. By the time we’re off quarantine, I’ll be back at work. FML

so he would rather fake a life threatening illness that over a million people have died from, in order to get out of family responsibilities... what a respectful guy. make him sleep in the spare room and tell everyone what he did!

Maybe he can fake his death too so you can take bereavement leave and join the fun!

If not for some sloppiness with his browser history, he almost executed the perfect plan to get out of dull, boring, tedious and dreadful events while garnering sympathy to boot! Oh, yeah, happy belated birthday!

Why wasn’t he in the spare room?

I guess the main bedroom has an adjacent bathroom and the spare room doesn't. So if she brings him food, he doesn't have to get out of the room.

Oh I totally would’ve used the same instructions to fake my own test and mess with him while you both isolated in the bedroom! I would’ve been the most annoying person for the hour before I couldn’t hold it in and lost my shit at him!

Get hold of a couple of NBC suits and have some friends dress up and take him away for proper quarantine on the grounds that they've discovered he has omicron. You can have all kinds of fun with him if he decides it's smarter to play along than admit he lied.
