It wouldn't have mattered how you spoke to him about the "friend" coming into your home. I would have been concerned too and I also would have been concerned about someone petting your cats. He's being a spoiled brat and he's pretty much has stated that no one is going to tell him what to do. Sounds so much like my xh.
He's too stubborn to realize that the "friend" could be a carrier and not realize it. Sure, we all take precautions, but the stay at home order specially states to stay home unless you are out shopping, getting gas or going to the pharmacy. No where does it say to have friends over.
Why didn't he go over to his friend's place if he thinks so much of this person? He could go there and have fun and not have to feel like a caged animal in his own home. The health crisis is affecting everyone...but the MLCer can't deal with being cooped up because they want to let that inner child out and can't around us.
Take a step back, breathe and be sure to clean every spot that you think that this person has touched. If he doesn't like you doing the cleaning...too darn bad!
BTW, it's your home too. Just because he may be paying the bills, you have been working as well, You are there cleaning, cooking and yes, taking care of that precious place so that he has some place comfortable to live. You've contributed just as much as he has. BTW, in his fit of anger, he was hoping you would walk out. He's trying to push your button because he doesn't have the b*lls to walk out himself. Don't do it. If he's that unhappy, open the door and just let him go.
Please stay safe.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
