I’m sure it comes as no surprise, but you really have to be careful about who you get involved with in a romantic relationship.
Even if people seem like they have your best interest in mind, it’s difficult to know for sure until it’s too late.
People can be very manipulative and deceptive even when it seems like you’re just doing them a favor. This is exactly what is happening with my roommate and innumerable guys that she has seduced. Most recently, she had her eyes set on a particular heating and cooling technician and she easily leveraged our broken HVAC system to rope him into a relationship. I should say, she took our perfectly fine central heating and cooling system, broke it, and utilized the dysfunctional air quality control equipment to force this heating and cooling technician into her life. When we moved into this apartment together it had amazing indoor air quality control. At some point, we decided that the energy bill was a bit high so she called a local heating and cooling company for a routine diagnostic appointment. At that point, she fell in love with the HVAC worker who was responsible for our air filter change, ductwork cleaning, and system troubleshooting. The next thing I knew, she told me that the entire central HVAC system has broken down. I was confused how it had fallen into disrepair after the heating and cooling specialist was at our house two days earlier. Like clockwork, our HVAC system started breaking down every week or two. Every time, she texted the same HVAC technician and asked him to come help. He always got to feel like the knight in shining armor, she presented herself as a desperate princess. They’ve been engaged since our third emergency HVAC repair.
