Ivan blinks at the man for a moment trying to figure out if he's serious which he decides seems to be the case. "Does this happen a lot?" When it happens, seems to imply it has happened more than once which...how?

But the other part of that that Ivan notes is that he said husband which is something new. He knows people here with wives but...where this guy is from he can have a husband instead? "I've never met a guy with a husband before. Where you're from allows that?"
