We've been fighting. Sure, some of it's petty but if it's kept up for a long period of time, it could be a deal breaker in our relationship. For instance, she insists on keeping the thermostat at an ungodly high temperature. I can't stand it. I just am not nearly as happy when I'm hot and sweaty while standing still. I also feel like she always leaves every light in the house on. Can't I go outside for a 7 mile run without getting sunburned or baked by the intense rays of light? And I have no problem watering the lawn occasionally. But is it too much to ask that she take care of it once or twice a month? I just don't want every lawn looking crispy and yellow.
But lately things have started change a bit. She still leaves the thermostat a bit high some of the days, but lately she's been keeping it somewhat cool around the house. She still leaves the lights on, but she's dimmed the lights a bit and it makes a huge difference. And even the lawn is turning green again. I am finally starting to fall back in love with her. And now that she's treating me so well I feel motivated to do more. Maybe I'll squeeze in a few more quality runs with her and not just sneak them in while she's still asleep in the morning. Or even going on a hike or geocaching trip might be in the cards. We'll take it slow and see where things go.
