The way i see it now, Bibi has been a very understanding and patient partner. He put up with an increasingly deranged woman a lot longer than any person should. He saw that she was unwell and gave her more than enough time to seek the help she needs to pull herself together. Instead of realizing this and being grateful, she simply decided to abuse his trust and push him until he could no longer justify his patience. He sees the wall rapidly approaching as Chantal is nearly bed-bound and he is getting out before she becomes his problem.
Any KFer who ended a relationship knows it’s not always as easy as saying “I’m done!” and leaving. There is the technical issue of moving out, but first there is also mourning the relationship, and with that comes denial, anger, guilt, and other emotions that can take time to process.
Bibi seems like a kind and patient guy, probably a little too stoic as well... I think for a while he was ok with the situation, escaping at work or in his online games. Plenty of people can spend years, decades and even the rest of their life with a partner they can
tolerate and for all we know, Bibi could have been one of them.
But I said it and I still stick to my theory : it’s the hysterectomy that nailed the coffin, and not because Chantal can’t have kids anymore. While the hysterectomy itself is kind of a big surgery, Chantal recovered quite fast, to the point it was speculated she faked the surgery. But ironically, it’s the relatively small incision that caused havoc. An incision that should have been shut (so, able for her to shower) in about 10 days, and totally healed in less than a month took over
3 months of care, including two full months of not showering, all because Chantal couldn’t stop gorging on food to the point she literally ripped her incision open and ended at the ER.
Bibi may be stoic but he proved he isn’t an idiot. He can see like the rest of us how Chantal mental health is going to shit since she
works as an influencer, and how her physical health is declining at the same speed. He realized his future was to become Chantal’s caretaker, or getting the fuck out.
Well, he got the fuck out.
