To expect my DH to say good morning and ask me how I slept, rather than...

[civilfawlty]

"can you pass me my phone?" he then read the restaurant review. I understand. He really loves the reviews. It's a real ritual. But - surely greeting your dw comes first, no?

I dealt with not reading twitter during supper a couple of years ago. But I just can't find the energy for this new ruck. It REALLY f*s me off. AIBU?

My DP kisses me awake, my first words are usually geroff and can you pass me my phone please :o

At least you get words rather than phlegm being dragged up.

I'm afraid I don't speak to dh at all in a morning. If he's lucky he'll get a 'see ya' in response to telling me he's off.

I'm afraid I'm not a morning person and have to save what enthusiasm I can muster for ds and eager puppy. I have no reserves to draw on for dh and he is big enough to deal with it.

redexpat - I've just spat tea over the laptop! That made me laugh!

Is.that actually the worse.thing he does?

Blooming heck poor bloke !

Mind you I do day good morning to dd everyday and ask her how she slept.

With dh I tend to simply say r u ok dh?

ask how you slept really ? I grunt until I have my first coffee , then my dh bores me half to death about how badly he slept,

Oh god. i do this to DH everymorning.

Its the first think i say.

Yanbu, it is polite and a nice way to start the day. Dh usually holds my hand and squeezes it before he checks sky sport!! I would get a bit grumpy if he went straight for the phone.

To me saying a easily repeated saying such as "good morning", is routine and polite.

It then depends on whether you want to conduct what should be an intimate and passionate relationship, in a routine fashion.

I use "good morning" etc when staying in B&B's, for other guests.

As another poster said, otherwise i would feel a bit 'Doris Day'.

I always say good morning but how you slept maybe i have had a bad experience with my DH he does like to moan sigh yes dear you slept terrible poor you you couldnt have slept that bad you rolled on top on me twice

I get a kiss, a good morning, then he makes the coffee before slinking off to the laptop. He gets 'time to get up' or I send the dc in:) the dc also get a kiss and a good morning from him.

I wish he would get dressed but he puts his baggies on til time to get dressed:)

I could have written Pop's post! DD was up at 6.30am, so first thing DP heard at 8.45 was "Get up, you have 15 minutes to get dressed and start your Daddy/daughter morning before I throttle you both!"

Ah, the classic "is that all you have to worry about" AIBU reply. Genius.

Mixed opinions. I guess I think it is important to be considerate and polite, even first thing in the morning, and even to my partner. But - this isn't the first time I have had an aspect of my world view challenged in MN, and I doubt it will be the last.

I also think it's important to be considerate and polite but a rolled out 'goodmorning, how did you sleep'..?
