Wife certainly doesn't appear to be suffering at all. Indeed, it seems that the pending separation from her husband is the furthest thing on her mind. She's right back to her happy-go-lucky self and appears to be ready to settle in with farmer boy for the long haul. I guess those were just crocodile tears she was shedding just the day before.
In contrast, husband is becoming more and more likable with each new chapter. He is willing to sacrifice his own happiness for that of his wife and bow out gracefully, relinquishing his position as husband so that she may stay with the man she is happiest with.
