I'm sure his wife was pleased that he took over the room she liked so much
while she was gone
so much for the marriage

probably because his wife didn't want to talk to him anymore

Right, he just spent several millions of dollars on a new house, custom
construction,
overpriced hi-fi equipment, years of work, isolation from his wife and
