only one TV in the house?
No wife has put up with more than mine. I used to be famous for disappearing for 2 or 3 days at a time, or even more, but that's a story for another day.
I'm convinced the only reason my wife and I still together going on 25 years is we have seperate TVs. Don't get me wrong, we watch TV together, but she has her shows and I have my shows.
We only have 2 people in the house with 3 TVs hooked up to cable with their own DVD players. If we ever have guest over the third TV is all theirs.
