Bro why is everyone hating on dojae?? i understand his pov, isn't it normal to want to be with your partner all the time?? Plus it's almost like he's always adjusting to euntak,no?

    it's normal to want to be around your partner often, yes, but dojae views literally any time apart as equal to euntak withdrawing emotionally, and those aren't correlated.

    In real life this would almost certainly be a case of coercive control/emotional abuse - when a partner is always sad or angry when you're hanging out with other people/away from them, you'll start withdrawing from all other aspects of your life in order to appease them, making you isolated and vulnerable to abuse.

    dojae has a v binary view of love (in love and in proximity or not in love and away from me)probably due to his struggles w reading emotions, but that's an issue he has to work on, not something that euntak needs to compromise on/bend to. Wanting to hang out with other friends shouldn't ever be an argument, or even a request!!

    Not like this. He’s borderline obsessive and low key is trying to isolate Euntak from everyone else. That’s not healthy. Also getting upset every time someone tells you no is a sign that he has control issues.

    Fair enough i, for one, still can't see the problem- these toxic mangas have completely ruined my boundaries TT
    Since this is almost identical to how I act and my bf never said anything ,i took it as Something normal
