Husband waking me up

Hi - I work , husband works , Saturdays we ( like a lot of people ) have football early for DS1 then afternoon for DS2 . I would like a lie in on Sunday mornings . Just till about 9 ish . Our children are old enough to get up , go downstairs and watch TV/ get their own breakfast / read . DH is not the best sleeper and Wales periodically through the night as is normal for him . He then , when he deems it a suitable time ie 715am ( 45 mins after my in the week get up time ) he ALWAYS wakes me up. AIBU to expect him to let me sleep in just for a bit even if he is awake ? Or am I being completely unreasonable ? I am prepared to be flamed but I assure you I am not lazy person and I am seeking genuine opinions . Many TIA Flowers

What quality family time does he think is going take place at 7am on Sunday morning?
Selfish bit.
He’s talking shite, he just thinks that because he’s awake you should be. Or, even worse, that he wants you out of bed so that he can sprawl and pray about on his phone etc while you go downstairs and get out of his way!
He’d not try that bollocks more than twice with me.

OP it's time for your "absolutely not to be disturbed" 3 hour granny nap.

Maybe if he's feeling anxious and in distress and needs someone to talk to, instead of waking you up he could ring Samaritans? Hmm

Kick him on the couch next week. Tell him that if he wakes you he can stay there the whole week. He really needs to stop being controlling.

ILovely, these aren't remnants, this is ongoing controlling behaviour. What did he do to recognise and address is controlling behaviour previously?*

This. He hasn’t stopped being controlling, has he?

OP, There is nothing silly about your post.

You are in an abusive relationship.

Your husband is selfish.

Your husband is controlling.

Your husband gaslights you.

But you know this.

He only cares about himself.

I bet he's a sulker.

I bet everything has to be his way.

I bet you humour him a lot.

No wonder you like your days away from him.

You are being abused by a nasty little man who only cares for himself.

You need to take a good hard look at your life.
You need to decide is this really what you want.
You need to protect yourself.
You need to protect your children.

Absolutely NO PERSON who genuinely cared for you would deprive you of your sleep.

It's so basic in a healthy relationship.

That's why abusers sleep deprived their victims.

To keep them weak and off balance.

Protect yourself.

He is a Nasty Vicious Abuser.

Wake up and protect yourself.

Look for support IRL.
