Dude, I wish. Cool pools, awesome decks, home reno, home design, home gardening... You name it, she records it. Unfortunately, its just not background noise, she loves those stupid shows. I have come to the conclusion I must pay $165/month for a cable/internet package I barely use.
Try making a deal....
Cut the cord for the summer – 3 months of June – Aug, when you have better things to do anyways. Take the $80 a month you save, and pay for her to get a pedicure, tanning beds, hair colored, or whatever other pointless girl nonsense she is into. Get her something for each month she goes without.
After three months of no cord, if she dosen’t like it, then you plug it back in.
It’s a win win. She gets pointless stuff that women base their existence around, and you aren’t out any extra cash in the short term, but at the end you save some dough when shes is on board because she’s used to it.... Or not, in which case your at the same spot you are now – a beta male pandering for your wife’s approval.
