Cognac,
I am a fan of your posts and everything, really....been reading them from the beginning. But I gotta say, I completely disagree with you and your stance. Yes, people who are sick should have consideration for others. No doubt about it. But on the other hand, it's fall now, and more people are becoming sick...minor colds, whatever.
Why in the hell do you think this guy was going to leave, just because YOU were there, and pregnant? Do you think he thought to himself while getting ready, "Hmm....wonder if there are going to be any pregnant women there tonight?" No, of course he didn't. Sorry, you are the minority as you are pregnant, so if you don't want to expose yourself or your child to airborne illnesses, may I suggest you stay in your house, inside a plastic bubble? Because I tell you, YOU need to look out for you, not expect other people to just fall all over themselves getting out of YOUR way.
If I was that brother, I would have excused myself for having a cold, then I would have told you that if you didn't like it, YOU can get up off your ass and get back home. YOU'RE the pregnant lady, not I.
Sorry, that's how I feel about it. When my wife was pregant during the winter and colds started going around, she stayed at home as much as possible to not be exposed, and stayed away from people as best she could to not get germs. She relied upon herself to keep away from people, not rely upon them to keep away from her.
Sorry this sounds so harsh, but the entire attitude of the minority telling the majority what to do sickens me.
