On the contrary, I think the key to the husband is the orange grove (at least, I think it was an orange grove). He wanted to save her from herself, and put all his resources into that. Remember how he explained that in a few years it would make her feel better. I think her wedding night coldness was simply the moment of realization (for him) that things wouldn't work out the way that he'd planned -- he was maybe in denial until that point. Another possibility regarding the photo is that she didn't want to think about the future plans that he'd made for them since she knew (if we're buying the psychic angle) that it was not to be. That land -- symbolically and literally, perhaps -- was the cure for her depression, and it would soon cease to exist.Brett_B said:The first half then plays as a character study of all of the people important to Justine. We see her husband is only concerned about the wedding night sex
