1. 'Supportive husband': er. Does this actually correspond to the kind of support wives have traditionally provided to husbands doing graduate degrees, the typing, the proof-reading, the reference checking and more? We think not. This makes her attitude and his shrugging it off particularly egregious.
3. A HANDBAG /Lady Bracknell. Maybe she did not like it, it was not her kind of thing? Perhaps she thought it was one of those presents people buy because they love thing and think other person must do too? And did cleaning really require poking in closets, just asking?
5. Inheritance. Honestly even if people leave wills, they don't necessarily minutely detail items of furniture and personal possessions. The deceased may suppose that the survivors will divide up these spoils more amicably than is realistic and in particularly in the supposition that her doted on firstborn who seldom visited is not a grasping so and so who has probably already been evaluating certain things for being valuable antiques (hai, late Uncle E!).
