This guy had a lock on the thermostat before the bomb and Mary is the controlling one???? I agree with Phoenix2....this guy is a real a$$?%$e!

I didn't say she was the controlling one - I said the way she approached him IN THIS CASE was not effective for that reason (the demanding/controlling tone). But, in hearing that she asked nicely up front, I agree - complete and total jerk.

I think the thermostat lock points to a HUGE communication problem. Absolutely, under normal circumstances, someone would NOT do that. If he felt so strongly about the temperature thing they should have sat down and TALKED about it then agreed to some type of compromise and stuck with it. That's how mature adults would handle it.
