If we didn’t, it’d be a lot harder for us to live with one another
I had issues getting along with past relationships when it came to personal preferences. For instance, my last girlfriend never liked to drive the car. Every time we went somewhere I had to be the one that drove. Unfortunately, this did not bode well when we tried to take a road trip together. We were limited by the fact that we only had one driver for the whole trip. That’s really hard when you were trying to rely on having two drivers to avoid stopping at hotel rooms every single night. But we didn’t really have a choice unless we wanted to sleep on the side of the highway where it’s dangerous. I’m glad that my current girlfriend gets along with me really well. Aside from sharing a million interests with one another, we also have the same preferences with the heating and cooling system. Whenever she’s over at my house, she feels comfortable with the temperature I have set for the air conditioner or furnace. Important to have a girlfriend that agrees with those sorts of things. It would be hard if we eventually live together and she liked it hot while I liked it cold. Those sorts of disagreements lead to long-term strife and incompatibility. That’s why it’s important for us to agree on fundamental aspects of our living situation. If we didn’t, it’d be a lot harder for us to live with one another. My parents never agreed on the settings for the HVAC system because it led to them fighting for trivial things on a daily basis. I don’t want to have fights over the eight track system with a significant other.
