AIBU?
Every weekday morning I get up first, sort the kitchen, feed the dog and take a cuppa up to my partner (he works from home so more leisurely morning than me and kids).
On the weekends, he likes to get up early and I love a lie-in. He usually waits until he hears movement then brings me up a cuppa. I love this and feel like it's a real treat! I scroll social media, read a bit and get up mid morning (I work long stressful hours and he's chosen not to. I'm totally fine with that).
Sometimes he sits in the office on a weekend morning and doesn't hear me get up so I might send a message asking if he's on the coffee run. He's great and always brings me one. I feel very spoilt by this and love it.
This morning he was getting up before me as going in to work on a rare day in. I asked him if he would bring me up a coffee.
He was a bit grumpy and said that I was demanding coffee without even saying good morning to him, like I do every weekend.
I was really taken back as thought he was happy to bring me a weekend coffee. I questioned this and he said I have no consideration for how this makes him feel. Like I don't care about him just a morning cuppa.
It's a completely first world problem. It's ridiculous but I'm just so surprised that our perspective is so skewed!
I honestly thought I did coffees in the week, he treated me at weekends.
I got a bit stroppy and just got up left...without coffee. Very childish, I'm aware! AIBU to think he's being a bit of a petty twat???

This would make me so sad I’d cry for a week and never drink a coffee he brought me again, it'd be ruined 😭

I've not RTFT as I couldnt get past "Every weekday morning I get up first, sort the kitchen, feed the dog and take a cuppa up to my partner (he works from home so more leisurely morning than me and kids)."

Not much of a partner if he's not getting up in the morning with you to sort the kitchen, dogs and the kids to make things easier for you, before you go to a stressful job.
I just hope he does everything else to do with the house on his breaks so you don't have to do that when you get home too!

Who is taking care of the dogs/kids on the weekend when he's in the office and you lie in? Or do you do all that when you get up?

Don't bother making him coffee any more, he obviously doesn't appreciate how easy he has it.

It’s rude to ask for a coffee while you’re lazing in bed and he’s busy getting ready for work. YABU.

Well he’s shot himself in the foot there - no more morning coffee in bed for him!
Presumably you bring his at a similar time each weekday, whereas on weekend days your wake up time varies, and why shouldn’t you let him know when you are ready? Ungrateful git!

Totally!

Did you say good morning to him before asking him to bring up coffee? I can understand why he’d be peed off if the first words out of your mouth to him upon waking was “Will you bring me up a coffee?” Same at weekends you text him to ask him to bring up a coffee and presumably he doesn’t text you to ask for coffee on the weekdays otherwise you’d have mentioned that.
