Mrs L doesn't like sleeping in a warm bedroom, she likes it on the colder side.

The dog doesn't like it cold, he prefers it warm.

So I turned the heating up.

Turn heat down, Place dual control electric blanket on bed, Dog sleeps on the warm side with you. No divorce needed.

Turn up the heat in the dog house and you put can be happy sleepers and the wife can snuggle in her cocoon in her cool bedroom.

If Mrs L's desire for a cool bedroom is at all hormone related, then I fear your life could well be in danger.

Get an additional two dogs, for the proverbial three dog night. This will make the bedroom in its entirety too warm for Mrs L so the dogs will stay put while both of you move to the spare room.

I consider myself lucky that I was alive during the 80s but spent my teen years in the 90s. Best of both worlds.

And yes, the OP is being unreasonable. Because people who don't like to sleep in cooler rooms are psychopaths.
