So, she finally told her friend that she would be turning the thermostat back down to 68 degrees. She also asked her friend to please not touch the thermostat anymore.
And honestly, she figured that 68 degrees was a fair compromise. At that temperature, she could get back to being at least semi-comfortable and deal with it until her friend got back on their feet. Moreover, her friend would not have to live at her typical temperature preference of 63 degrees.
Surprisingly, though, her friend reportedly ended up throwing an “absolute fit.” Apparently, her friend claimed that 68 degrees was “not liveable” and even said that they had a “right” to be comfortable.
She was completely taken aback by that, too, and decided to remind her friend that they were living at her house rent-free.
Still, her friend seemingly did not care and claimed that it did not matter. Moreover, she got accused of being a total jerk for expecting her friend to live in “freezing cold temperatures.”
So, they continued arguing, and her friend tried to insist that 75 degrees was “normal;” meanwhile, 68 degrees was insane. Nonetheless, she just wanted to move past this disagreement and attempted to come up with even more compromises.
For instance, she offered to buy her friend a heater to keep inside the guest room.
“But [my friend] said she deserves to be comfortable in the whole house, not be ‘trapped’ in one room,” she revealed.
Anyway, up until that point, she really did not mind having her friend living with her and had never given her friend a move-out timeline. Following this disagreement, though, that all changed.
She ultimately told her friend that it would probably be best if they moved out within the next month or so– because, obviously, the arrangement was not comfortable for either of them.
Quite frankly, though, that suggestion only made her friend even more upset. And now, she is pretty torn.
