The other day was probably one of my biggest WTF moments in 13 years of marriage. We had our first really warm day of the year, and it was in the 80s. I come home and enter into our kitchen (used to be the garage before the remodel) and went upstairs into the living room. It was hot in there so I went over to the thermostat which was still set on heat. No biggie, it was cold that morning, and the wife drops the daughter off and then goes straight into the kitchen to do cake orders and what not, so I just figured she hadn't bothered to switch it over to cool, so I did.
About ten minutes later I hear my wife yell "WHO TURNED THE THERMOSTAT ON???"
"I did, why?"
"I KEPT IT OFF AND SWEAT MY ASS OFF ALL DAY, AND YOU JUST STROLL IN AND TURN IT ON???"
"Uh... that's what you do when you are sweating. Don't get pissed at me for being a dumbass."
She then goes on a rant that she is trying to save the electric bill. It has been stupid high, but we had proven it was because of the shitty energy hog hotel unit we have in the kitchen. It just runs nonstop all night during the winter when it gets really cold. We had a ton of historic data in the previous bills to show that, and I was completely blind sided she somehow came to the conclusion that ALL units need to be off. I mean shit March and February were really cold still and we just simply started shutting the hotel unit completely off at night and boom, bill went down almost by half. Needless to say she still continued to bite my head off, and I let her rant, told her to get fucked. Once we calmed down she apologized, and I have given in because really I'm fine at this point if the fans are on. However I told her if I start getting uncomfortable the AC is going on and she can get fucked again.
Woman logic still eludes me after 13 years.
RE: Finances ours are completely together. Her family has serious wealth and once the trusts go fully live in the next year or so, I've made it clear I do not want any of my assets tied up in that shit so we may go a little separate there, but it will be in the form that she will open a new checking account for any funds she gets from that and then she can transfer it into our main account. It's a long story, but bottom line they really don't want us sons in law being in direct contact with the family wealth. Cool, not mine anyway.
