To Ask DH To Open The Bedroom Window?!

42 replies

RabbitsRock · 02/06/2024 09:48

It’s a silly thing but we always seem to fall out over it. DH sleeps on the right & is next to the window ( literally a step away). Yet when I ask him to open the window because the room is getting warm, he moans & says if I want it opening then I should be the one to get out of bed & go round to open it. My argument is that he’s right next to it so he could easily save me the bother. AIBU?

We’d fall out too. If you want the window open go and open it. You don’t wake up your partner just because they’re closer.

If you want the window open, you open the window.

Good lord what shitty marriages you have! My DH would do it for me, no question, and I would do it for him. The one who is closest would do it.

Do you wake him up to ask him to do this?

If I was all warm and cosy in bed and dh wanted me to get out to save them a few steps I'd be seriously grumpy. Switch sides if it's a regular issue

Open the window before you get into bed.

You're the one who wants it open, open it yourself.

If he can do it from bed without getting out, then he should. If he has to get out then you should.

MrsSkylerWhite · 02/06/2024 09:50

Agree. You want it open, you open it.

SpringerFall · 02/06/2024 09:50

If I wanted it open closed or whatever I would do it

So you expect him to get up so you don’t have to?

What don't you swap bed sides so you can open it when you like?

AGodawfulsmallaffair · 02/06/2024 09:49

If someone has to get out of bed to open it, it should be you.

Talipesmum · 02/06/2024 09:49

One step out of bed, five steps out of bed, it’s all the same. If you’re the one who wants it open, unless he can literally reach it without getting out of bed, you should do it.
