:( That was a bummer of a story. I’m assuming that she’s paralyzed or something. Or maybe they just hate each other that much. Thought provoking to say the least.

I expected something volotile inside the house. Then that the wife was smothering him wanting to chase him down with tea. But the ending was a surprise, her not being ABLE to leave. His caring for her seems to be a burden, and that makes this story so sad.
