I pay the heat bill. I like it cool. He like it warm, warm, warm. How can I make him stop turning the thermostat up all the time? I'm sitting around in a tank top ovah heah, it's so hot!

I'm so very sorry for you. I too am the cool-temp-preferring one. I can't stand the way the heater dries out my nose. I hate being in a hot stuffy place. If I were you, I'd put on a Halloween nurse outfit, and march around throwing the snow-encrusted windows open high, TSKing, and lecturing on how germs thrive in an overheated environment, and cold air is good for the constitution.

Well, bro. It could be that he is much skinnier than you and really needs the extra heat. Women always seem to be cold while the guys are burning up. How about getting your partner to bundle up a bit. That would surely help. On the other hand, it could be that he is asking for attention and what he really wants is to be held and warmed up by you. Yeah, people can really be weird like that.
Cheers,
Mr. M on "thermostat."

If you really care about him and his comfort and don't want to throw him out. Explain how you are a little to warm with the same climate he finds comfortable. Then encourage him to wear heavier clothing and buy him a ceramic space heater to move around to the area he will be in. If that dosent work go naked and make him pay for the diference in the increased energy bill.

You could do what my mentally unstable roommate did back in college and tape a nasty post-it note to the thermostat that says "STOP TURNING OFF THE F@*KING THERMOSTAT!!!" with lots and lots of tape, in an effort to keep him from getting the note off. Or you could try the lock-box thing. Surely, in the interest of domestic tranquility, there must be a way to compromise though? Settle for an in-between temperature...you could sit around in your skivvies and turn on the fan in your area, and he could wear a sweater.

Buy him one of those blankets that zips around the person and keeps them toasty...also some very warm slippers that match the blanket would be nice...and a hat too since most of the body's heat is lost through the head.

Learn the phrase, "Gosh darn it, it's so hot I could sit in a kiddie pool filled with grape Kool Aide in the middle of the living room and watch Charles in Charge reruns until it cools down".
Your partner's inherent fear of losing you to Scott Baio will kick in and he will call your bluff in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
And should he decide not to....a day in a kiddie pool filled with grape Kool Aide watching Charles in Charge reruns is an inexpensive alternative to overpriced Spa treatments.

He needs a Bare Hugger device. It is a body warming blanket of sorts that you hook up to a machine that blows the winds of Hell up the blanket. Skinny people always shivering, so annoying with their heat seeking....

Go to Lowes or Home Depot..etc and buy a locking thermostat cover... measure your thermostat first to get the right cover...worked for me...

Umm, isn't it OBVIOUS that he wants to see you naked? Hell-oh! Honey, turn up "HIS" thermostat, show him what it's like to feel "SO HOT" and maybe when he's sweating buckets, he'll feel the BURN enough to realize, "Well gee, maybe that's what my sexy little biznatch feels right now!" Well, it's worth a try, either way you get to get naked and have mind blowing passionate, sweaty sex with him, so I don't see a downside anywhere! ;-P

Tell him your too hot and ask him to wear a sweator (or buy him some as a nice gift)
