Aibu to stop making a cup of tea for my husband in the mornings?

I get up earlier than he does (me 6am, him 7.20am). I get showered and dressed, then I make us both tea at about 6.30am. He then doesn't drink it as he stays asleep till 7.20am by which time the tea is cold, so he microwaves it. I didn't know this till recently when catastrophe struck 😉 and he broke a mug by microwaving it.

Aibu to stop this madness for the sake of the mugs?

For clarity, he also makes me tea especially on weekends. The mug in question was a reasonably new, allegedly microwave safe mug fro John Lewis

Tomorrow, make his tea in some random tupperware. Definitely microwave save ;)

(I'm a dick about tea, never used to finish a mug. Hubby, for shits & giggles, took to making me tea in an espresso cup)

Stop making him tea when he isn't awake.

This. Why bother?

DH makes me morning coffee daily, and if he's going to work early or I'm not working so it'll be a while before I'm awake to drink it, he puts it in a flask and leaves the flask and a mug beside the bed.

Up your game OP WinkWink

He's definitely a keeper!

Don't put it in a thermos. Thermos-tea is not nice.

Better than cold or microwaved tea.

@Toddlerteaplease He certainly is! It usually works perfectly as I'm just waking up as he's leaving the house, but I miss it when he's early or I'm later, thus the flask. Like a PP it makes me feel very loved Blush

Try a Contigo mug

You are being a mug.
see what I did there 😝

Get a good travel mug, I like one with a metal rim so it doesn't feel plastic when I'm drinking it. Mine will keep tea boiling hot for longer than you need it to.
