I have never lived alone before.
I went straight from living at my parents house to living with roommates in college.
Now that I have graduated I still live with a roommate. Even though he is my boyfriend, I still think of him as a roommate. Sometimes I regret not living alone before I moved straight in with my boyfriend, but both of our leases were up at the same time and it was perfect. I do really like living with my boyfriend, but one thing he does really bothers me. He likes to turn the thermostat on the coldest temperature and have the air conditioner blasting while we are sleeping. I have never been able to sleep when it’s too cold in my bedroom. I like to snuggle up in the covers and if it were up to me I would even turn the heater on while I was sleeping. However, I always have to have the air conditioner on because my boyfriend is always so hot. It could be the middle of the winter and he is sweating while walking outside. It is the strangest thing to me, but I guess he thinks it’s strange that I am always so cold. It could be the middle of the summer and I am cold walking outside. We have had to make compromises when it comes to our heating and cooling system because I really don’t think it’s something that is worth fighting over. Thankfully, my boyfriend also agrees with me on this so we don’t have to fight over the heating and cooling system.
