When people ask me why my last relationship ended, I’m not sure what to tell them.
- I’d like to think there were issues on both of our parts that ruined the relationship, but if I’m being totally honest, I also have to admit that I was really not my best self when I was with her.
To be honest, I thought that I was doing a lot outside of the home, and that my girl should worry more about what was going on in our home. Unfortunately, this led to a lot of issues with the heating and cooling situation, not to mention our feelings for one another. You see, when I returned home each day, I was stressed out by the temperature setting that greeted me at the door. The indoor air was never comfortable, and I didn’t know why my partner kept turning the temperature up so obnoxiously high. I tried various times to talk to her about my comfort, but she never seemed to meet my expectations when it came to setting the control. There was always some counter argument; the HVAC system hadn’t been inspected in several years – so how could I be upset about the uneven temperatures we both experienced? We both found ourselves in a losing situation. Eventually, I called the heating and cooling company down the road for an emergency repair service, hoping that would save my relationship. Sadly, it was too late. I just wasn’t willing to take on the HVAC duties, and my partner wasn’t willing to be blamed for them.
