BEAT HIS ASS. BEAT HIM UP!!!! also, at this point, i don't even care about habibi, why is this adult woman creating more problems than the actual supposed problems in the story? you're an adult! you should be able to at least, take care of yourself (the drinking) and respect the choices of others! that's something adults should be able to do, dear god.
honestly, not vibing with the way he's so insistent on not letting go of her. he's obviously not seeing her as a person and recognizing the fact that she actively does not want to be here. i really hope he lets her go and they fall in love later instead of it turning out to be that she never becomes a priest because he interferes and refuses to let her go or strikes some kind of bad one-sided deal with her.
