I was going by the snippets you provided. Question is, why would he go back to the bar when he was there supposedly celebrating their 10th anniversary? Something sounds very suspicious about the whole story if you ask me.
If I did that with my wife, I suspect the same outcome would would be the result.
Maybe he went back to the bar, met a little señorita, went to HER hotel room, her boyfriend came in unexpectedly, the firefighter tried to get out the window, the boyfriend said "No way Jośe", and the rest is history.
Reminds me of a song...
