After separating from Wanda, William went to his parents-in-law's house after he got off work the next day. He brought two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes with him with the intention to ask Wanda to go home with him.
Mary and Jeremy also persuaded Wanda to go back, but she was determined not to go back this time. She said that she needed time to calm down. This made William feel very helpless, so he could only give up.
He did not feel it at all when there was a woman at home, but when the woman was gone, it reduced the home into a lifeless husk of an apartment.
That was not the only change. Before this, every time William came home from work, Wanda would be busy cooking for him. After the separation, he basically did not eat at home. There was no one to do his laundry for him
