Sometimes I feel like my husband and I are from different planets.
We have many of the same opinions and views on life but we also have many differing perspectives.
Sometimes, these differences are so vast that I have a difficult time understanding where he is coming from. Apparently, he feels similarly. Recently we have both been in a bit of a fight over our indoor air temperature control system. Neither one of us can see the other person’s perspective very clearly, so we keep fighting in front of our thermostat and calling our HVAC technician to act like a referee in the middle of our arguments. At the root of it, we both just want to have high quality indoor air and air temperature control equipment. However, my idea of high-quality indoor air is very different from my husband’s. For the past six months I have been trying to convince him that we should get an air purification system which would work in tandem with our basic central heating, cooling, and ventilation system. We would not need to replace our air conditioner or forced air furnace to make this viable. We only needed to purchase the air purification system, call hour HVAC technician, and have the new air filtration device installed as a component of the larger central heating and cooling plan. After that, we could easily filter out unwanted airborne contaminants without additional wear and tear on the heating and cooling system. However, my husband just doesn’t think that air purification is necessary. That’s why I’ve been saving up our old air filters for the past year. When he sees how filthy and clogged our air filters become, maybe he will believe in air purification.
