The Man Who Was Allowed to Leave

An elderly man one day realises that he will leave his wife for the much younger Maria. His wife reacts stoically. She is neither angry nor unhappy but thinks he should be allowed to sow a few wild oats. She is convinced that he will come to his senses and return to her bosom. He does - but not quite in the way she had imagined...
