I’m of the belief there is more to a relationship than love. I genuinely believe that, even if he doesn’t show it as much, the male lead and the female lead love each other equally. But, the circumstances of their relationship is so strenuous, that *I* would probably give up even if I really liked him. It’s through the author’s will and manga logic that she takes the stress.

I would stay in the relationship I know my boundaries and I know what I’m able to take especially if I actually genuinely like them like I claim. And from what I read and many people may not agree with me but I think the ML treats the FL pretty good he always has good intentions and he even makes up for stuff when he can’t be there or hang out with her. If you’re someone that can’t respect or just deal with other peoples traditions/cultures/beliefs that you don’t agree with then I genuinely don’t think you should be with them. If you’re someone that needs affection than this relationship would not be for you. But for me I’d be perfectly fine if my boyfriend was like the ML in the story. I’m OK with no physical touch and his strict schedule. I respect it and I don’t mind and maybe there would be some times where I feel lonely but I’d have to remind myself that I’m the one that put myself in the situation and I could easily break up with him if I don’t like him as much as I think I do.
if your significant other treated you the way the ML treats the FL how would you react? would you like stay or leave the relationship?
I personally can't be with someone if they cant reciprocate the energy.
what are your thoughts?
