btw, if i have some of my facts wrong here, its because reading this story is headache inducing, and i couldn't be bothered to go back and re-read.
ur pretty much right except he does acknowledge the fact he might’ve been too rough on her and wants to apologize.
that makes her even worse than what i wrote. He's quick to acknowledge his faults, and his mistakes are due to lack of experience. She is only now catching on to the fact that for the last couple of years her behaviour towards him has been deplorable.
both of the leads suck.
First, she deliberately ignores and insults her childhood friend ML, based of some hearsay rumours. And btw, she's the only one to do among all his other friends, that's because she worries more about her reputation than she does about her friend's possible suffering due to the rumours.
They both had consensual sex (iirc), and its while she was the one harassing the ML sexually. And then the FL proceeds to be just as oblivious about her treatment of him as a friend, and continues by ghosting him. If a ML ghosted a FL after sex there would be pitchforks in the chat, and the ML would be the red flag.
And then there's the actual ML. He is a great friend, but a terrible partner. He was a shitty virgin, not letting up when she said it hurt. And now instead of apologizing for being rough, he is thoroughly blissful thinking he did nothing wrong. Though at this moment his behaviour is more excusable, it being both their first times. But her behaviour in general is worse
