My roommates object, but I want to sleep with my window open so I can feel the breeze.
Do you find this issue to be of great importance?
I just want to sleep with my window open
I understand it can be hard to compromise. You should be careful not to make unreasonable requests of your roommates. You will be seen as hard to get along with.
Why can't everyone understand my needs? I'm trying to compromise.
Living with roommates is not always easy, but they might have very good reasons to deny your request to sleep with the window open. Have you considered that it might make the house drafty or cause the cost of your energy bills to increase? Think about what you're asking and make sure you aren't being unreasonable.
