I can only imagine the huge relief that Poopy Al Rafae felt when Chantal finally fucked off back to Canada.
That is what Chantal doesn't understand. Before Syria, Salah would always take Chantal back, because with her, his life was not inconvenienced in Kuwait. In fact, with Chinny, his standard of living improved if only because he no longer had to live in the bachelor slave quarters. With her, they could live in the swanky, seaside family quarters. (which would burn down like a Kuwaiti oilfield regularly. A form of Kuwaiti birth control, that.)
Now that Salah is landed gentry in Syria, surrounded by helpful Aunties who are always looking for eligible men for his female cousins to have little Sasa's with, Salah no longer needs Cutie. In fact she was a hinderance to his advancing in the Syrian hierarchy.
Chantal's life without Salah just got more stressful and expensive. Salah's life without Chantal greatly improved. Another man learns a valuable lesson in sexonomics.
