Ex and I were never compatible
Isn’t it interesting how you can look back on situations and see things so clearly? Down the road, it becomes immediately apparent that some things were never meant to be.
It’s exactly like that old saying, hindsight is 20/20.When I look back on my past relationship, it’s clear that things were never going to work out. We were just different people with different priorities. We had completely different preferences and ideas about life. At the time, I couldn’t see that because we enjoyed doing some of the same daily tasks together. Looking back now, it’s very obvious that we had differences which were insurmountable. As silly as it sounds, one of the major things that we probably couldn’t ever get over were our extreme personal preferences when it came to indoor air temperature. The problem was, while he always felt hot, I always felt cold. This meant living together was extremely uncomfortable for both of us. Everyday it felt like we got into a scrabble about the indoor air quality and our discomfort. He would wake up in the morning and immediately start complaining that it was too hot for him to think. He would try to turn down the air-conditioning and I would start panicking. At the same time, I was always feeling like it was incredibly cold. He wouldn’t complain that he couldn’t stop sweating, but meanwhile I was shivering incessantly. If I try to bump the thermostat up a few degrees, we were bound to get into a screaming match about energy usage and respecting each other’s indoor comfort. These days, I’m thrilled to have the thermostat to myself.
