Husband or me at fault?

Husband doesn't like the idea & don't allow me to bring baby to visit my grandparents due to the virus. He feels thats my grandparents should come over instead. I explain to husband that I needed some 'me time' & 'personal space' but he doesn't understand. He even feels that I am not thinking right, why am I putting baby to the risk. He allows me to go back to grandparent's place w/o baby. How can he separate us like that? The last time I brought baby back to grandparents place was about a month ago. I just wanna seek outsider's opinion. Who is at fault?

I don’t think either person is at fault, honestly. I kept my baby home for >2 months and didn’t even allow visitors. I stayed home too, and my husband went out once a week to buy groceries. But he still accidentally brought home a bug that got her sick, despite all the precautions. It must have been a common virus, because my husband, elder daughter and I had no symptoms.. but it was a new bug to my baby, so it hit her hard. Really broke my heart to see her suffer for that week. Babies are so vulnerable. But you’re also being filial in wanting to visit your grandparents and wanting to bring baby there. And ‘me time’ is extremely important. Would you consider, since he said you can go visit without baby, just going anyway? It’s okay to be separated for a little while and letting him take care of her. Go spend time with your family and enjoy the personal time with them, so that the focus will also be on you and your grandparents. It’s a difficult time, and the elderly and young are the most vulnerable. I personally would rather keep everyone safe so that hopefully, we can all live well and meet more when all this is over. Take care yourself, too, dear ❤️
