Life as a PhD student has become a little different for Marvin since his wife came to town. 
Suddenly, he finds himself having to make space for her things, her habits, and required drug intake (sugar and caffeine). 
Suddenly, he finds his sleek winter coat suffocated by her 4-year-old comforter-like monstrosity from a time when "thinsulate" wasn't invented yet.
He finds himself talking about Martha Stewart recipes because like any other culinary-challenged modern woman, she likes to plan lunch like she plans her homework.
He finds it harder to buy things like books from Amazon, a Warren Kimble cow mug, or a vegetable peeler because his wife is, how should we say it, kuripot.
He finds himself trekking to the local organic store to buy coffee in -9C weather. Wife goes through a severe withdrawal syndrome when the flow of caffeine is delayed. 
However, he finds comfort in the fact that the store sells other cool stuff like organic lettuce. Bad thing is that they discourage customers from using plastic bags so he had to protect the lettuce all the way home.
So while the changes remain small, they are worrying symptoms of what the future may bring.
