There are days when I wish I wasn’t married, to be honest with you.
My husband can really be something else to live with.
We have many of the same opinions and views on life but at the same time, we have many differing perspectives. Sometimes, these differences are so ingrained that I have a difficult time understanding the man. But, he feels similarly. Recently we have both been in a full-fledged battle over our central HVAC system and indoor air temperature control equipment. Neither one of us can see the other person’s perspective, so we keep fighting over our thermostat and calling our HVAC technician in the middle of our dumb arguments. At the core of it, we’re looking for quality indoor air and air temperature control equipment in our family home. However, it’s hard because my idea of high-quality indoor air is very different from his. For the longest time, I’ve been working to convince him that we should get a brand new air purification system which would work with our usual central heating, cooling, and ventilation system. We could purchase the air purification system and have the new filtration device installed to work with the larger central heating and cooling plan. However, he just doesn’t agree… or, he didn’t. When our professional heating and cooling technician inspected our ductwork and revealed that it was horribly maintained, his tune changed quickly. I guess the HVAC tech just needed to shame my husband for him to care about our airborne contamination. Next time we aren’t seeing eye to eye, I’ll just call our air quality control technician.
