When we ran a pub there was a standing order that all telephone enquiries from wives should be answered with "He just left". The drinker would be tipped off and draining his glass would head for the door. On one occasion the wife called, got the usual response and the drinker was informed that his immediate departure from the bar was expected. He failed to drink up and sprint and twenty minutes later his dinner came through the window followed by his pudding and, in my direction "And you're a fvcking liar too!" 
By the time he got home she was gone ~ back to her mother, according to the note. He returned to the pub, offered to pay for the window repairs, helped two other regulars board it up for the night and resumed drinking.
She never returned. 
Sounds like a result to me TBF. If she/he were that far out of touch, then the departure of one or the other was probably the best result that could be hoped for.

Well, someone had to say it!
