In this version, the wife comes downstairs in the LBD and tells husband she's going on a date with a slick lothario. She talks to her husband like he's a small child. After she leaves, he ponders how his devotion and hard work have meant nothing, so he gets his pistol, sits down in the living room and blows his brains out. This should not be confused with the story where the husband shoots the boyfriend, then himself.
