My partner and I just had a massive argument over the temperature of water.

To set the scene, I, 35 male, like to drink cold or chilled water, and my partner, 33

female, likes room temperature pre-boiled water.

To accommodate for both our needs, we have a kettle for boiling water, after which it is transferred to two water jugs, which are either left at room temperature or used to refill the dispenser in the fridge.

By the way, this comes from warm water TA on the R-slash OK Storytime subreddit.

On to the situation.

Three months ago, I emptied both room temperature jugs into the fridge and boiled more water at night before bed.

Partner came down and was furious that she had no room temperature water to drink and we came to an agreement.

Don't fill up both jugs into the dispenser and leave her one.

Yeah, everyone just gets their own jug.

Fast forward to today, there was going to be some burst water main repairs outside by the utility company.

So in the morning before my partner woke up, I decided to make sure that we had enough water to drink.

I filled the dispenser with one jug, then halved the room temperature water in the other jug into both.

We had previously shattered a jug on a cold day

because we poured boiling water in it. So I thought I'd temper this by making sure that the boiling

water would enter lukewarm water, reducing chances of shattering the jug. I went back to work and thought

nothing of it. Partner wakes up and goes down and she's furious.

She doesn't have any room temperature water.

I try to placate her by mixing the lukewarm water with water from the dispenser to make room

temperature water, but it is futile.
