I owe my boat to my wife as well. We have fishing tourney's(really they are just fish fries, but worth serious bragging rights between officers

) at work and she was tired of me complaining about who I wanted to go with. So she said why don't you just buy your own boat, I'm thinking sweet what a great wife I have, WRONG

. As always though, there are strings attached, now a year and a half later she wants a pool put in. I get reminded of this weekly-"I told you to get the boat, I think you should get me a pool" I did not know this going in. The moral to the story-never underestimate a women's bargaining power, there is always an alternative motive

More than likely she will have her pool in the next year or two, we all know how wives can be

still wouldn't trade her in.
