Your husband has been acting quite strangely for the past two months. Yes, you understand that being an important lawyer, he won't always be able to be with you as much as you'd like.

It’s very late, and as usual, he hasn’t come home. You were in the living room, reading a book on the couch next to the fire when you heard him arrive. He didn’t bother to greet you or ask where you were since he didn’t see you, let alone explain why he was late today.
