Here , in the street , Linda tells him that she is leaving and taking the children -- his family have not been mentioned any further thus far , but it is assumed that at some point Stanley 's separation and children will be brought back into the picture .. To date , these unfortunate events have n't appeared to be affecting his work .. It is posited by Stanley 's wife that the reason for her affair was as a result of Stanley never being home , primarily because of the nature of his work .
