time for tea

Hey Meg,

So here is the tea. Moved in with my boyfriends parents 6 months ago. It is an absolutely hugeeee 9/10 bedroom house with a completely self contained flat at the top of the house that me and him live in. Soo they are millionaires, I am not. Before living there I was in a normal but smallish 2 bedroom house with my mum where we share just the one toilet (context for later). My mum is in her late 60s and is a carer for old people. So they have loads of extra space for self isolating if the need arises. They have the self contained flat at the top, a garage which is converted into offices and is the size of a small house and I'm pretty sure they have a couple of empty flats floating around London. Now they have his nan staying who to be fair is old and at high risk and is staying in one of the bedrooms in the main house. So, I accidentally got exposed due to work with the nhs. I went into a facility which has a coronavirus confirmed patient, who was locked up in another room. Went straight in, didn't touch anything and then straight out when I was told. Obv then profusely washed my hands. So, low and behold I am told that I cannot self isolate in the self contained flat at the top of the house or anywhere else that they own incase I give it to the nan, so I have to move back in with my mum. Now, I would understand this if this is a normal house. But it is a hugeeee mansion with a self contained flat, which I am meant to live and other resources on the grounds where I could stay too. But no, I was forced to move back in with my poor mum where it would be very difficult to completely isolate myself. I was told that it was nothing personal. So I have gotten out of that relationship straighttt away, don't need that every man for themselves attitude from a potential future husband!
