I really try to let my wifey do whatever she wants. I do not want to ever be the source of additional stress or strain in her life. When my buddy and I signed on to be married to one another, I expected to be a positive force in her life. However, not all of her social associations can say the same thing. In fact, I feel her best acquaintance is a detriment to my wifey’s long term happiness, our family security, and our indoor air quality. If this seems like a stretch, let me explain. You see, my wifey has known her best acquaintance for over 20 years. They come from severely different economic backgrounds and I feel that this is rarely taken into account. Every time my wifey and her acquaintance meet up there is some long discussion about indoor air quality, temperature control, and high-tech gadgets to improve indoor comfort standards. I am as interested in new technology as the next person, however when it comes to our heating and cooling system there have to be some practical decisions. My associate and I are not severely wealthy and my buddy and I cannot afford brand new heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. Our forced air boiler is 10 years aged and the a/c component is 15. My associate and I do our best to keep the heating and cooling implements operational, let alone trying to afford a brand new indoor air handling device. However, this does not stop my wifey’s best acquaintance from always mentioning the indoor air temperature. Every time she comes over to visit my wifey winds up changing the temperature control settings a dozen times. After her acquaintance leaves the temperature control obsession persists. I don’t want to ban her acquaintance from the house, however I am exhausted of dealing with high energy bills and excessive wear-and-tear on the Heating and Air Conditioning system.
Wife’s acquaintance is a awful influence, temperature control abuse
