AIbu to be a bit pissed off?

To be a bit irritated at the fact my DP ex rang really early this morning whilst we were asleep in bed, to ask a question that i feel could have been a quick text?

In context this isn't the only thing that i think is unreasonable, as in turning up hour's late when he's done an activity with one of his children, when it's her weekend, and many other thing's as such.

Anyway tried to calmly speak to him about this and apparently i need to grow up and he's stormed off, and basically I'll see you when i see you. ( we don't live together)

Sorry but YABU it’s up to him to decide the boundaries with his Ex and how they communicate or deal with the children.

I think he can see your annoyance is probably coming from a place of insecurity. A relationship with a man who shares children with an ex may not be for you

What’s really early?

Flower8 · 23/10/2020 22:18

It was around 6.30am no I've no issue with them talking about kid's ect but it wasn't an emergency so felt it was a little unreasonable.

I'd like to add I've two children of my own who me and their dad communicate well about.

was your dp okay with the early text ? it'a annoying but somethings you might have to accept, how is he with your parenting relationship with your ex ?

Flower8 · 23/10/2020 22:23

It was a phone call, wouldn't care if it was a text ect. Just adds on top of other things i think, so may seem a bit trivial

Ots not up.to you decide when a parent talks to the other parent about their child. Its not up to you decide what the boundaries are . Sounds like you got dumped deservingly

sorry, i misread that but what about the other question ? might help get things into prespective.

Sound like somebody ^^ is ‘the ex’ 😬

OP, I agree.. a 6:30am call for a non-emergency situation is a little ridiculous and definitely pushing the boundaries...

Yes, it's far too early, obviously

Did she know he would be in bed?

It sounds to me as though she expected him to be up, perhaps for work?
