Hot or Cold

Ahh the age old question,

Are you normally hot or cold? Is your spouse/SOther hot or cold? Do you argue about it?

Sooo for me I am hot ALL the time. I have always been but several reasons newly make it worse. My brain injury causes my internal air conditioning to not work so my ass is hot. Not fun when I am in situations were I dont have control over the heat.
My wife is up and down. But lately she is menopausal and is having horrible hot flashes. I feel for her, they seem miserable. So we are at least on the same page. Last gf was always cold so CAN be a problem.

I sometimes crack the window in the dead of winter just to get some fresh air.

So are you HOT or COLD kids????

i fun hot. still no heat on with frost warning nights except now when i'm sortof chilled with bug...very rare.

ex ran cold, extra cold and i was menopausal then, so he went around in lots of layers, esp since our apt was old and chilly...

I use to be hot (darn I lost it) but now I'm cool (hey that's not bad). Nights I burn up! Hmm nothing fun going on though.
Menopause is hell.....word of warning..........she is always right!

I'm always cold! I wear sweaters in the summer because the AC is too cool for me. I practically turn into a Popsicle in the Winter.
EXCEPT at night, I get mega hot flashes at night. Yes, menopause is hell.

im always cold. i wear long sleeves in the AC whereas hubby stays warm. he keeps a window cracked in the winter as well. my room is warm his is like a refrigerator. menopause sucked. Prempro helped me through it. im now on Premarin and medroxyprogesterone., or something like that. mood swings hot sweats went away. it does get better ladies.

I'm always cold. I used to be hot all the time, but then I lost all of my weight and I got cold and now I'm never warm. I went through the change, had the hot flashes. I used to sleep in one room and my ex in another bbecause he liked the heat on hi and back then, I needed the Window open. They told me at weight watchers thst my body would regulate after 6 months and I wouldn't be so cold. It's been 13 years and I'm still shivering. Go figure

I'm always cold. My feet are the worst especially since the one has gone really numb. It's strange, they feel like their in ice water yet only cool to the touch. Hubby's always hot. He'll gripe every once in awhile about how warm our room is & I just remind him that I pay my rent every month lol

I have the thermostat set at 74 all year round but I'd have to say I'm more on the cold side. At least if I'm cold I can warm up!

Hello:

Thanks for all the replies. And thank you for the warnings on the menopause. My wife is having horrible hot flashes right now but the mood swings have been minimal :). My problem Mary Ellen is I am carrying some extra pounds so I have lots to keep me warm. I wear tshirt and shorts around the house 365.

Glad every one seems to have a healthy attitude about it, my mom and dad fought like cats and dogs over the heat and oddly enough HE was the cold one. Worst is when your in the car and cant control it.
