Man refuses to give girlfriend access to smart thermostat, issue comes to a head after she spends a freezing night alone in her own home: "It feels like negative 16 degrees!"

It really isn't all that important to have the same hobbies, interests, or preferences as your partner. Sure, it can make deciding on date nights super simple and can ensure you have something to chat about, but it is way, way more crucial to foster the ability to compromise. My fiancé is a sushi-lover through and through, but my eating out vibe will always be a burger. Most of the time, one of us indulges each other's cravings, but when we're both set in our ways, we've found a mediocre burger joint and a so-so sushi restaurant that sort of unofficially share an outside seating area that allows us to eat together while enjoying different meals.
In our story today, a couple cannot reach a point of compromise regarding the temperature of their home. This is largely in part because the boyfriend in question refuses to relinquish full control of the smart thermostat. While this was of little consequence in the summer when both parties preferred to keep a cool environment, nights spent shivering in her own home eventually drove our protagonist to question the relationship. Get all the details down below!
