It has been a few months since his ex-wife, Ruby, was last heard from and she has not been located anywhere. He heeded the counsel of the many people who cautioned him against squandering his time looking for her because there is a significant possibility that she has already passed away, and he agreed with their assessment.

He got a brief look at Stacey, the woman he was seeing. Before he wed Ruby, he was in a committed relationship with his partner Stacey for a significant amount of time. He is romantically interested in Stacey. However, for the course of the preceding few months, he was entirely incapable of understanding himself.
