I agree, even though I’m not married. Being prepared for dirty bombs simply means learning how to decontaminate. Might come in handy on yourself some time, too.
Speaking of learning to decontaminate… time for Google.

Yep, no way I'd keep her out -- she has a garage door opener Seriously though, we both keep N-95 masks in the vehicles and it would be a matter of decontamination in the shower. Lots of decon. Leaving someone you love outside on the doorstep -- what a sad, selfish life -- too scared to be allowed to live.

Well to update my comment I made the other day, I posed the question to my wife.
He first reaction was a 5 second pause :P
Then she said:
"Why the hell would you come back to the house if you knew you would kill me and the kids?"
Well that made me laugh.
She then proceeded to tell me that if we had no kids, she would open the door so we could go together. But considering we have kids, she would not expose the kids to the danger.
I agree with her decision. Plus there would be no way I would go home knowing that I would kill my kids and wife by exposing them.
Looking at it now, if decontamination was all I needed to do, then I would be prepared for that.....
Like JC said....time to go to google.

When we first moved into our house the surrounding area was farmland and one day some cows got out of their field. DW and I were in the front yard when she saw three cows walking down the street towards us. She screamed, ran inside the house and locked the door, leaving me outside to deal with the cattle. She refused to unlock the door until the rancher had come and got his cows.
She's gotten much better over the years.

Don't ask me why...but that is cute

yep, having kids puts a different perspective on it. personally, there's no way in hell the wife is coming back in, nor would I expect her to let me in. I'll go further and say, even if we didn't have kids, I would not want her to open the door... I would be committing murder and her suicide.
Regardless how much I begged and pleaded, she would have the right to go on and live life. I am no one to take that away from her, only she can do that.
Now let me turn this around. If she was the one outside, I still wouldn't let her in. I have just as much right to live a normal life than everyone else. And, for her to come begging and pleading, knowing well she is condemning me to certain death, is thoughtless and selfish and I don't need to be with anyone like that.
