This story has good description and background.  It seems as though they narrator is a guest in his own reality.  His world used to be about his rig and his life on the road.  Now he lives a new life with a woman he's been married to for nearly half his life, but has no idea who she is.  Norma changed when her husband came home for good.  She may have stayed the same woman he never knew if he had stayed on the road and they would have remained married and uninvolved with each other.  The sudden change of living arrangements brought other changes in Norma and at some point in time she decided that she was better off without her husband.  The story could have been told from Norma's point of view, or even from Mabel's point of view, but it's told from Leroy's which allows the reader to see how the absent husband feels after being gone for so many years.  There is no question in writing the story this way that Leroy loves his wife, but told from a different point of view the question would remain on whether or not he actually did.  I think this makes the reader sympathetic to Leroy's situation and his feelings.
