But what was really happening was that he was being attracted to his wife 
all over again. "Just like his wife." I think he didn't really want 
another woman, he was just a desperate lonely man who wanted his "old" 
wife back.

When he found out it was *really* her, he may have been overjoyed, and it 
may have brought new life to their marriage.

Anyway, what do you think are the chances of him not recognizing his wife 
at the meeting? I don't think it would be possible to disguise my wife in 
any way that I would find attractive such that I would not recognize her.

Yet, he still throws himself at her. I bet he knew!
