He drives both his wife and the author to their homes but he spends the night with Mary instead of coming home to his wife and children beginning an extramarital affair with Fisher causing him to deceive Ruth about Mary but Ruth didn't believe that he was visting Mary for business so the final straw for both of them was when Bob's parents come to their home for dinner.
Ruth embrasses Bob in front of his parents by telling his parents about his affair with Mary, They have a little argument and his parents are force to leave and have dinner elsewhere, he breaks up with Ruth and moves in with Mary and after Bob moves out of their home? Ruth gets REVENGE ON BOTH OF THEM so 1 day Ruth drops the kids off to be with him and Mary to start a new life in another town.
