To want dh to stop taking my bloody water?

I like to have a glass of water by me to drink. I keep the same glass throughout most of the day and just keep refilling it. I always have it with me on a coaster next to where I’m sitting.

Dh keeps clearing it away, all the bloody time. I go to have a sip and he’s taken it.

Just why? And yes I have repeatedly asked him not to.

Is he like this with other things? Or just absent minded?

Very absent minded. Sometimes I swear he’s losing it.

My FIL does this and it drives me nuts. Just leave my water alone!

It comes from wanting things to be tidy, but it’s always on a coaster and has water in it.

Is he a very ordered and tidy person?

Get one of theseGrin

It’s not even like it’s empty when he takes it. He just takes it and pours my drink away.

Surely that just creates more washing up. Yanbu.
