Misinterpretation. I didn't say to my wife "Listen, bitch - no more TV for you". I pointed out that the TV sets have not been used in months, whereas she goes out to Broadway at least once or twice a week. Since she doesn't pay the bills, the matter of $60 a month being wasted on TV would never come to her attention unless I brought it up. For the first month or so, she said 'well, I might want to turn it on...' then after three months we're in agreement that it just does NOT get used.
Same reason we don't have a landline phone. We had one for the longest time. Then one day we sat down and analyzed the usage - 100% solicitation calls for as long as we could remember. Never used it for anything else. By the time we get home, we're in free-nights-and-weekends zone on our cellphone plans.
I don't deny it.
