So this wasn’t a scam where Shitlah was trying to sucker a female for cash as somebody said. I don’t even think it was a secondary motivitaion-just something he jumped on because of the way the conversation was going. If she could have paid for a ticket, he’d have been happy, even if she couldn’t pay him more. I know he said “you should be paying me” but that’s because this egoist believed he was giving her something special.
His true motivation was to find a woman willing to do those things and he thought he had. Seems like she just just followed the first rule of improv where you never say no, snd got a lot more than she bargained for. This one was not a romance scam. Chantal is, that’s why she didn’t see this side of him. This is the real Shitlah: Vile, disgusting, violent, hateful, with a strong lust for power and control over women-and very, very stupid. And dumb. And retarded. And moronic.
Chantal would protect him if he actually raped somebody. Whoever said she’s the kind who’d look the other way if her husband was molesting her kid is right.
But those women become addicts or drunks often, and Chantal is going to sit on the floor of that room, sending Shitlah out for food, stressing about his finding sharmutas every second he’s gone, eating to feel better, then worrying again, than sending him out for food to feel better-rinse repeat. Whether she ever admits it or not, she’s going to be miserable every day of her short life. I bet she gains 100 lbs if she lives long enough. Even if he’s perfect at hiding it, she does not forget betrayals and will always worry. She’ll justify it and rework the story, but this is going to lead to her death even faster than before.
