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 seasoned saying, hindsight is 20/20.When I look back on my past relationship, it’s clear that things were never going to labor out. My pal and I were just odd people with odd priorities. My pal and I had completely odd preferences and ideas about life. At the time, I couldn’t see that because we appreciated doing some of the same quarterly jobs together. Looking back now, it’s truly apparent that we had differences which were insurmountable. As silly as it sounds, one of the major things that we truly couldn’t ever get over were our serious personal preferences when it came to indoor air temperature. The concern was, while he always felt hot, I always felt cold. This meant residing 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 day and immediately start complaining that it was too warm 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 would not complain that he couldn’t stop dripping with sweat, but meanwhile I was shivering incessantly. If I try to bump the control component 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 am thrilled to have the control component to myself.
