Woman? What woman?

Driving home from a psychiatrist appointment, at which May answered every question in a incoherent mumble from a slouched position on the couch, she comes alive for the first time all day and with a mischievous gleam in her eye asks a loaded question:
"You got a girlfriend?"
"What? A girlfriend? Oh, no."
"I don't know, it might be fun."
"No, I don't need a girlfriend."
"You were looking kind of sad the other day and I thought you could use a girlfriend."
"Usually one's wife does not recommend that you get a girlfriend as a cure for sadness."
"Are we married?"
"Yes! You're my wife!"
"Well, well..."

I turn down our alley and as the garage door is opening, she has one more question.
"So who is this woman?"
