To not tell him the time

[Hohohole]

Everynight my partner will ask me the time when we're in bed asleep. I might just turn over in bed and he'll ask me. I've stopped answering him because it means looking at my phone, when he has his right beside him. Aibu in stopping being his talking clock?

He is the one awake, he wants to know the time. He wakes you up
I would say,
"if ever you deliberately wake me to ask me the time again, you will be sleeping in another room".
If you sulk about it one more second you can go fuck yourself

What a twat.
Answer "Time you got a watch" everytime.
Why does he think it's your job to tell him the time?

lol, facepalm men.

He’s either stupid, a dick, or just plain nasty.

I would answer on of these:

Sleeping time.
I can't see, my eyes are shut.
I don't know I am asleep.
The answer is on your phone.
I don't know, what time IS it?
Time for you to learn to tell the time.

I wouldn't be buying him a clock if he has his phone right there. Added to which a digital clock would drive me nuts and keep me awake.

The picture of the alarm clock is a good idea.

I have a second recommendation.

Tell him you didn't hear him asking you the time BECAUSE YOU WERE ASLEEP!

Is he, perhaps, checking to see if you are awake, or trying to wake you up for a spot of sex? A 'oh, thanks, now as you're already awake and we've got another couple of hourse before we have to get up, how about a spot of nooky?' situation?

lol my DH does this - we have a clock on the wall as well.
I say "what does the clock say?"

'I don't know, why don't you check on your phone'?

We have a clock that displays the time on the ceiling so you don't have to sit up to see the time. It is the best.

"its ten past shut the fuck up"

this would get on my tits too OP

This is incredibly weird

I’d smother my dh with a pillow he he woke me up to ask me what the time was!

My answer to that in the middle of the night would be FUCK OFF YOU LAZY PRICK, but I don't take kindly to people waking me up for no reason. Tell him it's time he started checking homself, or ask him if he struggles to tell time.

@rosegoldivy👏🏻

I would perhaps allow for one serious conversation, asking him why he does this, before resorting to the excellent quips suggested. He’s fucking weird and annoying, and tbh - not exaggerating - getting the arse with you not replying takes him straight into dumping territory. How dare he?

So weird. My husband would be terrified of speaking to me during the night.

Have you ever asked him why he does it?

I could have written this.

My husband is exactly the same, many’s the time he has woken me from a deep sleep to ask this futile question.

He started doing this some time after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s because he tends to wake with a jerk. It still boils my piss though.

For a polite passive aggressive response, why don't you make sure your phone is charging somewhere else, then when he asks, make a big show of trampling over his sleeping body to get to his phone, shine the light in his face then answer in a nice-as-pie voice? works for me

Why would anyone accept this nonsense? How bizarre.

What a weird thing to do op. Has he only just started doing this? Doesn't he have a clock by his side of the bed?

I do this but it’s because of eyesight, I sometimes panic that I’ve/we have overslept. I can’t see the bedside clock, even if it’s on my side. If I sleep alone I have my phone next to my head. Could it be that?

What a dick!

Put your glasses on and look at the clock

Wake him up tonight and ask him the time!

Get Alexa - he can ask her ad nauseam.
