The story begins with Bobinot and Bibi away from home with the storm approaching. Bobinot is very simple and doesn't seem to be worried about the storm. He shows lack of emotion when his son shows worry about his mother being alone in a dangerous storm:

Wooton, Michael J. Kate Chopin Web Page. http://www.assumption.edu/HTML /Academic/users/ady/HHRomanticism/HHChopin/hpChopin.html

He scraped the mud off Bibi's bare legs and feet with a stick and carefully removed all traces from his heavy brogans. Then, prepared for the worst - the meeting with an over scrupulous housewife; they entered cautiously at the back door. (Chopin 772)

Bobinot is very weak here. He shows worry and fear of what would happen if he weren't presentable to his wife. When he greets his wife, "Bobinot's explanations and apologies which he had been composing all along the way" (Chopin 772) is another sign of a weak husband.
