If you or your partner get sick, who sleeps in the spare room?

Answered 4 years ago

My husband was pretty sick with the flu recently and I spent 1.5 weeks on the blow up mattress in another room. Everytime I needed to go into my room to shower or get my things I’d have to cover my mouth and nose. The room stunk so bad of sickness. When my husband was better I had to disinfect the whole room including mattress and pillows and wash all bedding etc. Would’ve been easier for him to go in spare room I reckon. What do you think?

Guest bedroom!?? It was a spare room with a blow up mattress. And no, I did not make that vow. Especially the way you wrote it. How embarrassing.

Both windows and en-suite window were open. We’re not stupid. It still stunk real bad. And the constant coughing and spluttering meant germs were always around, they weren’t just going to fly out the window.

We don’t move rooms either. When one gets sick the other one is usually safe believe it or not 🙂

If she has to access that room for toileting and showering and dressing then she could catch his Illness. It would be safer to have him in a spare room that no one needs to access.

But he needs to shower and toilet too ... Wouldn't it make more sense to not use the ensuite if you were that worried about catching his flu?

I didn’t want to catch his germs. He had a fever for 5 days, sweating real bad and coughing a lot. Had to wash bed sheets every morning.

I guess in this situation with corona virus, that is the correct thing to do. Isolate in a separate room

But I think as the not sick person, you did the right thing giving him The most comfortable area to sleep. It's hard enough being sick. Hopefully it's not one sided though

Depends what it is!! But usually the healthy one goes to the spare room. It's so uncomfortable in there 😂😂 we've only done it after surgery etc when movement in the bed is painful. Or when one has gastro haha
