When one spouse tested positive did the other one? And how soon after the first spouse began symptoms did the second spouse begin symptoms?

My husband started symptoms on Tuesday and tested positive on Wednesday. He started antibiotics right away and is fine and totally not isolated. I am Bh completely fine and still tested negative last night. At this point I’m
Really hoping that I’m out of the woods but I know it’s too early to say that....

My husband had it, I wasn’t careful around him in the slightest and never caught it.

this is the exception rather than the rule. Most people who got covid, spread it to their household members.

You can make that 7 unless you know me.

Or maybe you did and you dont know.
Husband tested positive, I tested negative. Tested again twice during the 14 days and was negative. Never had symptoms...
Suddenly a month later I realized that my taste and smell changed drastically. Tested negative, have antibodies. 3 months later still dont have my taste and smell back.
Looks like my husband caught it from me.

I hadn’t heard that. We all had it last March so I’m out of the loop I guess

And I'll be the 8th.

My dh had it in early March. He was sick for a week before he went to dr. They tested but only got results a week later. I was totally not careful. Never had any symptoms, did not have antibodies.
