In our house, you can tell if an argument is brewing based upon temperature alone.
My partner is a truly identifiable person, and she likes everything in her condo to be perfect.
However, the things that she considers perfect are far from what I would consider perfect, especially when it comes to HVAC units. I will divulge that I could be a little more balanced in our approach to HVAC units. I am sure that if I tried to set the control equipment to 81 degrees, she might complain, although she wouldn’t be completely mad. The only problem is that un-even temperatures that high make me sweat uncontrollably. I grew up in a condo where the a/c was consistently running. Even while in the Wintertide when our family has the furnace on, I was allowed to keep our a/c running in our room. I am used to the cold, and being in a condo without their conditioner running constantly makes me uncomfortable. My partner is the polar opposite. She loves the heat. If she had her way, the furnace would be running for more than half the year. If she could set the control equipment to 90 degrees, I think that she entirely would. Obviously, you can see where the confrontation over the control equipment could escalate. At first, it would start with us telling each other how we would adore to use the HVAC units. When neither of us would budge, we began to adjust the control units when each other wasn’t looking, which resulted in full-blown arguments; Unless we find a way to compromise, our HVAC units might come between our relationship.
