I'm grounded cause my husband traveled. Under a new order, returning travelers must quarantine 10 days and they should isolate from others in the household, even wear masks at home. Husband is about to return from a work trip, & he's not on board. So to stay "clean" and able to go out myself, I plan to sleep in my home office for HIS quarantine, with my air purifier on, and mask up if we are in the same room. Ridiculously inconvenient, but I do not feel it's ethical to risk infecting others.

AC, I can't see your post now, but it was the part where you said the OP's actions would have zero impact on anyone because there is little risk that her husband be infected.

Unfortunate for your relationship with your husband, but you are getting some valuable e-cred.

Damn this is just ridiculous. Go shopping before he gets back and have him get PCR tested a few days after coming back. If negative continue living and if positive obviously quarantine for 10 days from finding out positive. This is really not that hard. And unless you are high risk, sleeping in separate beds and wearing a mask is insane. If he tests positive you will have to get tested anyways and if negative then it doesn’t matter.

Have traveled out of state around a dozen times and has never been an issue. Got it from my niece when we went to visit them, quarantined ones at my parents and then moved on.

There are still basic necessities like groceries/food. You risk infecting others for basic day to day activities. Yes, Instacart and Ubereats help but those fees add up.

Tell him to get tested 3 days after arrival

This. Easier to just get tested. PCR if you want to be really sure.

Have him get tested 3 days after getting back and then again 7 days later

He will get tested but the rule is explicit - negative test doesn't end quarantine period, for good reason. You can become positive the next day, anytime up to 14 days

Why is he not on board with quarantining?

He is on board with staying away from people. He says distancing and masking protect the people he would pass by in the grocery for example. He believes because he's careful, his way is good enough.
