Why?

You can't be attending to your work while otherwise occupied?

That activity is relatively normal between married
couples (!?). The misconduct is in "carrying on"
outside his marriage, whilst he's "in office" as
well as, reportedly, "in the office". That's what
Dribble doesn't agree with.

If he's not "attending to his work while otherwise
occupied", then that could also apply to his other
activities - eating up all those pies, for instance.
