My husband says it s much too hot for him so he turns the heat Down to about 68 to 70. Abby my face is cold and 1 do not like to Wear three sweaters and heavy socks in the House which i have Todo in order to be comfortable after he starts fooling with the thermostat. He shuts the heat off at night and it goes Down to 52degrees. Then he jumps up in the morning and turns it up to 70. It takes about an hour for the temperature to reach 70 and when it does he turns it Down to 60, or 65 if it s really cold outside i can t stand to be cold. Meanwhile my husband starts to sweat at the drop of a hat. I turn the heat up and he turns it Down. It s the Only thing we Ever fight about.

Since you prefer to be toasty warm Wear Woolen socks and sweaters in deference to your husband who prefers a cooler House it s easier for you to bundle up than it is for him to find Comfort in an overheated room meanwhile if this is the Only thing you Ever fight about count your blessings.
