So speaking as a jerk who's been married to the same (long-suffering) woman for the past 20 years, I'd say just let it go. Sure, unplug it for her...if that works. Or give her a picture of yourself in a small frame with the words "Unplug before driving off" to put on the dashboard or steering wheel when she plugs in. Make it easy for her to be successful on this. Stop making her wrong. Or sleep in the garage. Alone. Just my .02. Lee
