Am I or DP in the wrong?

[Guyonhere1]

So, Yesterday, my wife cancelled the sky sports subscription without consulting me. She also cancelled the BT sport subscription, which will be active by the end of April. I only found out today, when I couldn’t watch any of these channels.

I then confronted my wife as to why she had done this. She told me that there’s no sport to watch, so it’s a waste of money, but I told her she should have consulted me first. I still wanted to watch a few repeats on these channels.

AIBU, or is my wife in the wrong?

@Tiffanysetting erm yes
dentist twice a year, optician twice a year, orthodontist every 6 weeks.....
when they were babies, inoculations, check ups with the health visitor.

Thanks @Pentium85. I know they generally don’t like men, but I did get some good advice

I had an email from Sky on 21 March saying that because there was no live sport they were reducing my subscription until things were up and running again. When my direct debit went out today they had reduced it by nearly £30.

@usercheeselover any one can cancel if they know the password .
You put one on your account if you want both of you to be able to speak to them

You sound like a 2 year old I've got nothing to watch.

So @usercheeselover if your husband cancelled the channel you watch most without consulting you, you'd be fine with it?

@saraclara trust me, I wouldn’t have minded if we came to a decision TOGETHER to cancel the channel, but she felt the need to do it herself without asking me

Netflix is a different kettle of fish, mega cheap and no change in service.

How much time do you spend glued to the sports channels?

Do you have kids together?

YANBU. She should have discussed it with you first.

@indecentfeminist so, the cost is irrelevant to what I’ve said

@YouTheCat as I’m self employed, I sit down doing my work whilst watching the sports.

We don’t have kids together

@YouTheCat How is that relevant? The wife didn’t do it because he’s always on it, or because he doesn’t look after the children

Why is MN so against men. It’s embarrassing.

If an woman came on and said her husband had deleted her favourite channel, or cancelled Netflix without asking, MN would be furious and ‘controlling’ would definitely be mentioned...

Is your wife working from home too?

I'm not against men. I'm asking questions so I can make an informed decision.

Also, I still think it would have been better to discuss it before cancelling. It'd be interesting to see whether she's done this because she thinks her dh isn't pulling his weight of if she's done it because she's just not very nice.

Is she fed up with you watching sport all of the time? Are you hogging the remote while she sits there bored stiff?

If I cancelled the sports channels there'd be a riot in my house! She was unreasonable and at the very least should have spoken to you about it.

Are you sure she cancelled and didn’t suspend sky sports?

Can you still view the channels? I’ve suspended but they still let you have access to the channels

@usercheeselover you are being a twat. Maybe don't make assumptions about people you don't know just because of their sex?

@ontheboardwalk none of the sport channels, apart from Sky Sports News, work

Your wife is unreasonable. Ignore the men haters. Bye!

Yeah, I don't usually say this but posters would definitely be talking about abuse and 'is he always like this?' if the situation was flipped.

Guyonhere1 I think you’re going to struggle getting through to Sky at the moment, they are asking people not to call them

You could try their chat facility? Might be a while to get connected but they’ve been very helpful for me in the past

She should've spoken to you first, it maybe try calling them and asking them to put it back on and just suspend it.

@usercheeselover not all man are like your DP! So don't assume a male isn't actively involved in admin.

She made an error, she should apologise, you should avoid making a big deal of it and move on as soon as resolved.
