I tested positive this morning. But I have my family here at home with my spouse, and honestly, it's going to be very difficult to explain this situation. I haven't talked to my spouse about it yet, but this is going to be a big surprise for them too. What if my family finds out or if I end up embarrassed?
something similar happened to us too. my spouse learned about the positive result but kept quiet and waited silently. then they found the right moment to say it, and the family didn’t even notice 🫠
Did you have to live in the same house with your family? Is there never a possibility of moving out on your own?
@kahvebitmeden Unfortunately, we've been living in the same house for a while due to financial reasons. It feels impossible to move out.
@makarnaoncesi but I also think it's a bit wrong to stay silent without sharing this responsibility. I believe it's a mistake not to tell your partner.
It's important to have an open conversation with your partner about things like this first. Sharing the initial reaction with them and then creating a roadmap together can make things easier for you. It's beneficial not to rush the part about explaining to the family 🫢
It's not about being ashamed, so why should you feel embarrassed?
@uykuarasi it's not shameful, but it can be very difficult to share news like this while living with family. We don't know the details.
Tell your partner right away, then make a decision together. Trying to solve these kinds of issues alone while being with family is exhausting.
What are you going to do with the test result without anyone at home finding out, are you going to throw it away? There's a chance someone might accidentally see it if you leave it around, so I'd be careful. These things usually blow up due to small details.
