My dad was a perpetual thermostat Nazi, so I grew up getting used to sweating at night in 78 degrees temps and utterly freezing in the winter with the thermostat down to 64.

Now my husband complains because I am used to these temperature settings but he is not, and we get in fights over it. His dad was one of those thermostat Nazis too. But now he says "I earn the money, I pay the bills, and if I need the thermostat set to 72 at night so I can sleep, that's how it has to be!"

The problem is, now when he sets it to 72 at night in the summer, I'm freezing. Or when he sets it to 72 in the winter, I'm dying of heat.

He also complains that my body temp goes up 2-4 degrees every 4 weeks... PMS hormones... he says "You're thermonuclear again!" and hits the thermostat down... and then I'm freezing.

But I don't know how to answer him when he hits me with the simple logic: why is 72 in the summer "too cold" while 72 in the winter is "too hot"?

Why does it feel that way?
