The wife made the decision to keep Bisclavaret away forever, even if she never saw her husband again. She was not betraying her husband, she was keeping herself safe.

She only wants what is best for the relationship and shows her love by saying that she loves him more than all the world.

The beast attacked the knight and the King and his men threatened him with a rod to pry him away. When he saw his wife for the first time in over a year, he jumped at her and bit her nose until men ran to her assistance.
