Ooooh yeah a rhombic! With the reentrant termination developed by the enguneers at VOA! Reentrant as they fed the sig back to the feedpoint via a phasing line so no need for a power wasting load as found in every other rhomby. However, I fear a rhombic would please a wife less well than the other candidates mentioned.

Never a problem, I have carte blanche to install any antennas I wish. My wife even listens to the occasional pirate   8)

I share your wealth. :) I'm usually more picky about how the antenna looks than my wife is. She is fine with whatever I put up.
