I wish that I was better about controlling my emotions at times.
Yet, I tend to get pretty defensive when I perceive any kind of disrespect towards myself and others or our family.
Apparently, this applies to the family beach condo plus our HVAC component as well. It took us a very long time, but our spouse Bob plus I decided it was best to put the family beach condo up for sale. The real estate market was just brilliant so both of us could not pass it up, but considering that Bob and I had been talking about selling the beach condo for years, this seems love just the right time. Bob called the realtor that was advised to us to come out plus list our house. She barely even said hi before she started ripping into our site. Like I said, I can be a bit sensitive about any sort of attack or insult on anything I love. And I definitely got miserable the longer she critiqued the home. And when she got to a HVAC component I pushed back. As long as I have had this HVAC system, I invested in plenty of HVAC service every single year. The residential HVAC wasn’t even ten years old at the time. So there was plenty of life left. I got actually pretty irritated at the suggestion that Bob and I had to update the HVAC unit. And that pretty much ended her visit. The subsequent time she came back she was much more respectful plus she brought along data from sales in our space that proved her point. See also informed myself and others of a program with a local HVAC business that would recycle our HVAC equipment. It would go to people or non-profit organizations that needed better HVAC components but could not afford them.
