Grounds for divorce?

DH and I were talking to Dave, our neighbor. I was saying how much I like their Halloween crap. I do a little, but they go all out and it looks creepy and great!

Christmas is my thing and he said I'm the best at that. I said I do okay, but it would be perfect if I could put lights on the big pine tree, but it's too tall. "No, it's not," he says. "Yeah, it is," says DH. "I wish it weren't," I went on, "Sometimes I want to pay someone to cut it back just so that I could put lights on it."

"No, Beanie! You can put lights on that thing! All you need is a blah-blah pole. You can balance it on a blah-blah. I do it at my sister's every year and hers is about that size." Really? I could do it? "Oh, hell, yeah. Well, you probably couldn't. It's heavy. But he could. Easy."

Oh, honey! Did you hear that?! We're going to have Christmas lights!! Thank you, Dave!!! Oh, it'll be so pretty. I can't wait!

DH: "Yeah, thanks, Dave. I can't wait. I had her believing it couldn't be done for years and you (screw) it up."

HE KNEW!!!! He KNEW we could put lights on that thing and let me go on every single year about how I wished we could and what a shame it was and how it would all be perfect if only we could do that.

I swear that if I ever go to court and tell them this stuff, I won't get half, I'll get everything.

LOL. I can relate to this. Although I learned it very early on in our marriage. Now, when DH insists it can't be done, I just say, I'll ask ___. DH knows if I ask, he'll be found out!

OMG! I would be really mad, but then I would be a complete hypocrit. I told DS that Sponge Bob only came on Nana & Papa's tv.... until he learned to read and I was found out.
