Is this grounds for divorce? (lighthearted)

[TheRozzers]

It is Saturday and I should be having a blissful lie in but for some inexplicable reason DP set an alarm for 6am. This is not the first time this has happened, every few months an alarm will go off at 6am at the weekend. I checked DP’s phone today and this one was labelled ‘Dentist’ and was set to
go off every Saturday at 6am. I deleted it, but… WTF?!

We don’t even need to be up this early in the week, let alone on Saturday. Every time it happens DP just shrugs, says it’s an accident and goes back to sleep. I can never get back to sleep.

AIBU to think this is disrespectful to my weekend lie ins?

Dentist?! Wtf? YANBU

Do you have little kids? When mine was 5, learnt how to set alarms and would set random (middle of the night) alarms as thought was hilarious. Did that at the grandparents too and labeled it something funny- poor people were panicking at 3am.

Not at the weekend, but my DH would leave his 5.30am alarm on, on weekdays where he didn't need to be up.

I bought a shovel...

Our kids are 10 and 6. Neither would set the alarms it’s definitely DP.

We’ve had years of the kids waking us up early or in the night and it has finally stopped so I don’t know why the opportunity to lie in at the weekend is not treasured.

10 year old DD is an early riser but likes space in the mornings to read and can sort her own breakfast. 6 year old DS likes a lie in and usually gets up about 7.30 or 8.

LTB.

The kids might struggle to understand why initially, but everyone else will 100% get it

You need to have a proper conversation about this when he’s not just going back to sleep.

He is being a selfish arse

Time to hoover under the bed one up all up

You don't need a divorce. That's grounds for an annulment.

Did he want to remind himself do something about the dentist? When I set reminders, I have to be mindful to set the time, as the default is 6 am.

But also, I'm divorcing my mum today, as she accidentally rang me at 3 am.

YADNBU!!

I can imagine my DH doing similar!
He's a bit shit about looking at his phone when I need a response about something... but then often has it on volume 1000 overnight and it beeps loudly with updates or notifications. He's like your DH where he shrugs as if he had nothing to do with it!

Throw his phone down the loo if it goes off early again. He won’t need it under the patio.

What an irritating twat he is. 😬

Every time it happens DP just shrugs, says it’s an accident and goes back to sleep. I can never get back to sleep.

I'm sorry OP as I know you've put lighthearted in your title, but he is doing this deliberately. It doesn't affect him because he can go back to sleep but knows it does affect you so you need to start questioning why he's doing it. Did you annoy him the day before by asking for chores to be done or did he have to stop doing something he wants because of family time ( eg no to TV sport because of zoo, bc kids are priority). All low keys instances and overlooked by most people but could be enough to tip him over into "punishing" you. Think carefully.
