To insist DP re-open the window

It's hammering it down outside, but it's so hot and humid. DP went to close window "because the curtains will get wet". Never mind the sodding curtains, I'm melting!

Tell him the curtains will dry and open them back up.

QuestionableMouse · 12/08/2020 22:49

Oh open it! I'm sure the curtains will survive.

Fuck the curtains.

Frying pan- it's easier

Get up, rip the curtains down, open the window, look him in the eye and say “well they won’t fucking get wet now, will they?”

Or go sleep in a different room, if you gave one.

It's the living room window. I said, "What are you doing?" followed by, "Are you mad? Open it please, who cares about the bloody curtains, it's bloody boiling!"

Just get up and re-open it yourself...

Should I have put that this is light hearted? He listened and after some mumbled objection about the curtains, opened it again.

Bit hot for wielding a frying pan, but I like your style.

Kick him o out to the sofa and open the window and curtains and enjoy.

It’s what I’ve just done, but we have no rain.

Disappointingly, there's been only one distant rumble of thunder. Last night's storm was spectacular - I vaguely remember trying to ignore it and get back to sleep. I wear earplugs and it was still loud.

I’ve always heard that when it’s exceptionally hot outside that you should keep your windows shut to keep the hot air out.
You should also open the attic door to let the hot air rise into your roof.

wowfudge · 12/08/2020 23:17

That's in the heat of the day usually. Attic velux are open.
