There are times in life when it’s not worth fighting over things anymore.
At some point, you have to choose your battles and decide what is worth the extra stress of additional conflict.
For me, I have a pretty low threshold for bullshit. If you’re going to continually confrontation me on something, I am going to walk away and let you make your own bed. This generally works out okay for me, especially when it comes to my partner. She is quite predictable and easy to negotiate with when I sit down The rules. Recently, one of the rules that I put in place was regarding our Energy bill. I told him she would be responsible for paying the electric bill for the foreseeable future, however now, I told him this for a reason. It’s not because she rakes in the big bucks or I am trying to take luck of him for our energy usage. It’s because she insists on messing with the temperature control day in and day out. I swear to God, by the time I wake up every morning she is already adjusted the temperature control several times. We have a eco-friendly heating and cooling program set on the smart temperature control for energy efficiency, so every time she engages the air conditioner unit or furnace outside of the defined settings he’s costing us money. I grew tired of squawbling about the stupid temperature control, so I decided to cut right to the chase. I told him she can continue abusing the air conditioner unit and furnace if she wants, however he’ll be paying the energy bill for the rest of our lives.
