Hmm– well not everyone works full-time (OP as one example), especially if they're able to make ends meet doing PT and comfortable as such, and he wouldn't be “cutting” anyone else by solely wanting to stay in the city. It's clearly a case of him and wife having different end goals in mind: probably not the best pair to get married and bring kids into the world, unless they're able to compromise of course… which doesn't seem likely to happen.
Having a game night with drinks doesn't sound like “partying stage” to me, even if some of them got hammered.
Regardless, I think the real issue here is whether or not they can deal with how people see their relationship. People don't have to like or agree with the age gap; the real issue is how dedicated they are to each other & if they're good to & for each other.
OP isn't answering any questions so we're all just throwing assumptions into the air, friend, it's all we can do.

Nothing against you OP but this is the exact reason why I prefer to not receive gifts from people
If he already left once because “it'd just too sad” or whatever, then he probably won't stay for cancer
