Peter’s wife probably died before he followed Jesus. The other possibility is that Peter left EVERYTHING to follow Jesus.

I don't like that as a possibility.

Honestly, it doesn't sound like very "good news" for Peter's wife.

Not according to the Bible itself: According to the explicit statement of the Bible, Peter was accompanied in his travels as an apostle BY HIS BELIEVING WIFE: "Don't we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas?" - 1 Corinthians 9:5
