In a stunning turn of events that has rocked the foundations of suburban households everywhere, local man Derek Thompson, 42, has publicly admitted that his wife Jennifer was, in fact, correct about the optimal thermostat temperature all along.

The revelation came after a particularly heated discussion about winter heating costs, when Derek reluctantly acknowledged that setting the temperature to 68°F (20°C) instead of his preferred 72°F (22°C) did result in lower bills without anyone freezing to death.

"I thought I'd never see this day," said Jennifer, wiping away tears of joy. "For fifteen years, he's been telling me I'm too cold. Turns out, I was just fiscally responsible."

Experts say this admission is unprecedented in the history of marital thermodynamics. Dr. Sarah Chen, a relationship counselor specializing in household temperature disputes, called it 'a breakthrough moment that will be studied for generations.'

Derek is reportedly considering admitting his wife was right about other things too, including the need for asking for directions and the proper way to load a dishwasher, though sources close to the couple say he's 'taking it one revelation at a time.'
