Husband forgets to set the alarm and blames his wife for not waking him up at 5am for his daily walk
Having a hobby is essential in order to be able to detach your mind from work and everyday life. And it is good to have a companion in life too. But even in relationships, personal space must be respected as much as possible. A woman on Reddit told her about her strange and unpleasant experience with regard to one of her husband's recently-adopted hobbies: waking up at 5am to go for a two-hour walk. For someone who has never been a great athlete, this would be a demanding thing to do and sustain. In any event, the woman has never been against her husband's bizarre new habit, but the man accused her of not supporting him when, one morning, she didn't wake him up for his walk. The problem, however, is that it was never the wife's "duty" to make sure he woke up on time.

The 36-year-old woman described how her husband (39) started a new hobby, waking up at 5 am and walking around the city park for about a couple of hours. It should be noted that the man did not need to lose weight, and that by nature, he had never been an athletic person or inclined to play sport. Indeed, to be honest, the man had always hated playing sports. His intent to suddenly exercise, therefore, seemed to be a positive thing for his health, although the choice of waking up so early, seemed a bit bizarre.
"I'm happy for him because it's a positive thing overall. But yesterday, he came home in the evening after working all day, and stayed up late playing on the computer. I went to bed at 10pm after I finished my chores," explained the woman in her Reddit post.
The woman was awakened by her husband's shouts at around 7 am: the man was furious because his wife had not woken him up and caused him "to miss his regular morning walk". But why was his wife obliged to wake him up?
"I was so confused - I told him that, first of all, he always woke up thanks to the alarm clock, so why should I wake him up this time?" stated the woman in the post. "He yelled that he forgot to set the alarm. I replied 'so what?' It's not a big deal, it's not like he missed an important meeting or something, but he got even angrier and said the walks helped improve his health and restore his energy, making him feel better," she continued.
The husband continued to blame his wife, putting all the responsibility on her: "He kept shouting about how I was trying to stop him from exercising for some unknown reason. I told him he was wrong - although I admit that the daily 5am walks in the park are weird. But so was his reaction. I really thought he was being over-dramatic. He walked away from me, saying I had ruined his whole day."
Eventually, the man began to ignore his wife, both her messages and calls, and in person. The woman, deeply confused and convinced something was seriously wrong, asked Reddit users for their advice. Most supported her, but also warned her: where did her husband really go at 5am in the morning for two hours? Her over-reaction suggests that he up to something. Was her husband hiding something from his wife? The fact that he reacted so angrily, however, does not prove he is cheating on his wife.
What do you think is going on? And how would you have reacted in this woman's shoes?
