AIBU to expect my wife to mention changing her working hours?

Last week I had a few issues and couldn’t contact my wife so had to call her work.

It emerged that not only had she reduced her hours to .75 but she had compacted them so only works 3 days a week.

She never told me this. Should she have?

Should I mention this to her?

It doesn’t particularly impact on me and had she discussed it with me I wouldn’t have had anything to say about it.

Is this really a marriage? So she dropped down to 0.75 and what, has just been pretending to go to work?

That’s really weird that she didn’t mention this at all. I’d have alarm bells going off if I were in your shoes ! !!

Umm, yeah, this is weird.

So she's gone from working five days a week to three, and not mentioned it?!
