In the end… we got divorced
I do not believe in giving people firm ultimatums. Unless… There’s no other choice. Unfortunately, I feel like I have reached that point in several of my relationships when things strictly were not working out and I couldn’t keep doing it anymore. Of course, I always try to compromise before things get so extreme. This is why I have spent many months talking to my husband about our heating, cooling, and air quality control system at the house. I know that we have extremely different indoor air temperature control preferences, but I felt as though we were butting heads about the indoor air temperature control system more than we were seeing eye-to-eye. Every day we were going back and forth, making trips to the thermostat to change the heating and cooling settings. It was obvious that our indoor air temperature control equipment was taking a beating from all of our rapid temperature adjustment. I knew that our heating and cooling bill was going to be through the roof whenever we had to pay the energy bill that month. I also knew that our heating, cooling, and ventilation system was going to take a nosedive based on all of the abuse it was experiencing. Meanwhile, everyone was uncomfortable and unable to come up with a solution for our thermostat. Eventually, I had to sit down with my husband and have the big talk about our indoor temperature control differences. Either we needed to replace the heating and cooling system with zone control the HVAC, or we needed to get divorced. In the end… we got divorced. I’m a lot more comfortable now, though.
