I think every possible theory about Salah’s motivation has been conjured and there is an element of truth in all.
I think that he was looking for a woman to get him to Canada, which is why his Tinder (or whatever) was set for women there. Chantal was looking for Middle Eastern men and they found each other. He told her he wanted to go to Canada, she told him her problems with weight, lifestyle,and money. They made a mutual agreement that she’d go there, and he’d help keep her on track with weight loss and told her Kuwait was cheap enough to save money. He fancies himself a YouTube expert so thought he could help there. He would “marry” her and support her in her goals, told her there are no drugs there so no temptation, and in return, she’d get him to Canada. There have been enough hints through the past year that this was the plan-he started talking about diets and walking places right away, was wistful about snow and travel; she said before she left they were both getting what they wanted.
He didn’t understand he was making a deal with the devil. We knew she’d never follow through on anything, but he didn’t. It was a very quick thing and he could not have watched many videos, plus his English isn’t fluent. He knew she was out of control but thought she was fixable.
It’s taken 8 months or so, but he’s now disillusioned. He tried with the walks, the gym, the museums, the better kitchens, the reminders, finally the last ditch effort (and possible ultimatum) with the diet boxes. But I think he’s finally realized he’s wasted a year.
I’m not convinced she can hurt him that much. The only thing lower than an ex-pat Syrian is a woman. And she hadn’t learned any Arabic. Redditors have tried to report them to various ministries and nothing happened. I suspect he could leave her and go back to his father’s with minimal fuss.
My guess is he knows her tourist visa should need renewing soon. Don’t know if she’s over-stayed or done border runs, but I’m guessing Salah told her: Diet and start paying down debts immediately or go home. And her answer? “I just want to eat.”
I wouldn’t be surprised to have her show up in Canada in the next month or two, either crashing with Peetz and the old people, or even smee, Phyllis or funcle.
As always, I could be wrong and she may have a way to clutch him so tightly he can’t escape. But I don’t think we know what that is.
The only things certain are she’ll lie and eat and lie and eat, no matter where she is I am hopeful that this era will end soon.
