We’re both battling over the thermostat throughout the entire day, sneaking back and forth to adjust the temperature settings to our own personal preferences.
I love my husband to death, but sometimes I feel like I can’t get away from him. He and I have been attached at the hook since about two weeks into our relationship. It is rare for me to be able to spend so much time with someone, but there are times that he definitely gets on my last nerves. Lately, this has been the case. He has been teaching from the comfort of our home, which means we’re both in the house together all day. It’s driving me up the wall because we work under very different environmental conditions; namely, we like the thermostat to be set at two entirely dissimilar temperatures for maximum productivity. While I work from the basement, where the air temperature is inherently low, he works in the upper level where it tends to be much warmer. I’m naturally cold as it is, so I never engage the air conditioning when I’m working downstairs. He, on the other hand, is always warm and would like the AC to be operating at a moderate pace all day long. We’re both battling over the thermostat throughout the entire day, sneaking back and forth to adjust the temperature settings to our own personal preferences. Every time he engages the air conditioner I know immediately, because freezing cold air starts flowing from the air vent right next to my desk. Then I have to take a break to bicker with him about the HVAC settings before I can get back to work. I hope our marriage survives this.
