To be so freaked out

[WibblyWobblyHead]

My bedroom curtains are about a cm too short to be wide enough for the window so I put a peg on them in the night to keep them together because I can't sleep when light gets in so wouldn't have forgot to close them.

In the middle of the night DP got up to go to the bathroom and I heard him as i'm a really light sleeper, while he was in the bathroom I turned over to face the window and the curtains were wide open (my window is about 7ft wide so couldn't have blown open that far, plus the windows were closed so there was no wind)

I asked him when he came back from the bathroom why he'd opened them and he was adamant he hadn't touched them, he assumed that I'd done it. I said that he must have done it on the way to the bathroom and forgot as he was half asleep but he says he was wide awake and would have known if he'd done it. I didn't sleep for the rest of the night cos it really freaked me out, if he's adamant that he didn't do it and I definitely didn't do it then who did?!
The only other person in the house is DS who's in his cot in his own room, he's 7 months.

AIBU to be really freaked out?!

It was a ghost. That's the only logical explanation.

Rwy'n siarad Cymraeg Wibbly, but I'm not participating in this silly argument any longer. You won't accept that either you or DP opened the curtains, and can't remember doing it, and you don't accept that it was a ghost or a burglar.

What was the point in posting?

Wibbly I was also going to say that when you do things as part of a routine it can become difficult to remember specific instances of these routines. For example you remember closing the curtains last night but you always close the curtains at night so your memory of doing this action is bundled together with many other identical memories IYSWIM.

Also your (and everyone else's for that matter) sense of certainty is never reliable. You'd need evidence that you did something and as the curtains were open it's reasonable to conclude they were never closed.

Your brain is playing tricks on you and causing to freak out. Ignore it. I hope this helps you to get some sleep tonight!

I didn't say I don't accept that me or DP did it though, I said that he must have done it on the way to the bathroom while half asleep but that he's adamant he didn't do it

The curtains are too small for the window so in order to get them to close properly you pull them tight and secure them with a peg. The peg remainsed attached to one of the curtains, is this right?
If so, the curtains were under a
certain amount of tension, one side
has escaped the peg (probably
because the spring on the peg has
been weakened by being repeatedly
under pressure) and as the tension was rapidly released the curtains
sprang away from each other.

I think the other posters aren't taking your problem seriously enough.

It's obvious your OH is gaslighting. LTB.

Occam's razor. That's the answer here.

Some friendly replies here . Op I can fully appreciate that not knowing what the explanation is is 'freaky',but that does not mean there is a freaky explanation. It's just something that happened, that has a plausible reason,but is best forgotten lest you dwell too much. I'm sorry that some posters have been abrupt, but you need a hard hat in Aibu (dons mine). For the record,my Dh works nights, I too am in S. Wales,and last night was 's freaked out' by my own ds sitting on the landing -just staring. It's things that go bump in the night in it? use two pegs in future
