DH and toilet habits

Every morning my DH sets an alarm for 6am as he has an hour commute to work.

He often gets up then but will spend up to an hour on the toilet. I’m pretty sure he’s watching videos or reading nonsense in there.

Then he will start getting ready etc meaning he doesn’t get into work until late, this means he works late and never gets home before 8pm. We have a baby and a toddler and he’s never back for bedtime and also never helps in the morning as he’s on the toilet!

AIBU to tell him a few home truths? He’s always complaining he is late for work and ‘doesn’t know where the morning goes’.

Set him an alarm for the toilet. If it doesn't improve I'd consider if he may need to see a doctor or he might be having an affair

He’s doing this on purpose because he believes that you should be doing everything. He had children but doesn’t want any of responsibility and is prepared to see you run yourself into the ground. Definitely talk to him. This is not on.
