Her Husband Cooked Dinner In A Heatwave In Their House That Has No Air Conditioning, And He Couldn’t Understand Why She Was Upset With Him
Right now, the U.K. is experiencing a major heatwave, and one woman lives there along with her husband.
The house that she shares with her husband is pretty ancient and has no air conditioning.
On top of this, their house manages to always trap more heat in the summer, even when this couple opens up all of the windows.
It’s so hot in their house that their thermostat reads 90.5 degrees inside, and it feels positively stifling to live there right now.
If you step outside of their house, it’s not much cooler, though, and there’s just no relief from the heat.
Considering how unbearably hot it has been, she has spent the last couple of days telling her husband that they should try to avoid cooking or using their oven and that they should wait to make food until it gets back to 90 degrees in their house or less.
“We’ve got plenty of supplies for salads, and sandwiches, not to mention a supply of batch cooked food already in the freezer if someone did want something warm to microwave,” she explained.
“I come downstairs mid-afternoon after chilling out (as much as one can) in one of the rear rooms, and I’m blasted with heat.”
“He’s been cooking, looks at me, and says it’s nearly ready. Hobs and oven; the kind of food that takes about 40/50 mins of heat to get done.”

She told her husband that choosing to cook in this heat was only going to make it even worse in their own home, and she wondered why he decided to cook.
She also pointed out to her husband that they had a lot of choices for food, and cooking didn’t have to be on the table.
Her husband accused her of being ungrateful and unappreciative of his hard work in preparing food for her.
She wasn’t about to thank him for making it even more sweltering in their house, and she let her husband know that she never even wanted nor asked him to make food.
“I said was sorry, but I wouldn’t be eating it, and asked him to consider whether adding a few degrees to the house was worth it,” she said.
“He said he was going to work, so it didn’t matter to him, he’s now left, and I’m doing what I can to air the place out as we have 3 cats, and they are obviously struggling.”
“Not to mention I’m melting.”
She’s curious if it was wrong of her not to be appreciative of her husband cooking for her when it contributed to making their house hotter than it had to be.
