Holy

i think it might also be because he fell out of love like a longgg time ago and began taking her work/effort for granted so he didn't really feel much affection, and so him having to choose between something he took for granted vs. something that brought him temporary enjoyment was an easy choice

this is actually very realistic to shit asshole men

True but considering how prideful and how full of ego he is... But still flabbergasted how he spared ZERO thought to our girl omg

tbh i think it's pretty realistic. he doesn't feel guilty because he takes her for granted. extremely so. they've been together for 13 years so he thinks its a given that she will always be besides him no matter what he does. he's also very selfish. he thinks it's justified for him to cheat and have fun cuz he has a crappy life and hae soo shows no affection/attraction for him. Even tho it's cuz she's tired from working so hard to provide FOR HIM and solve his shitty debt （/TДT)/. Lots of men are like this irl which makes this webtoon scary

i can’t argue w that

i get all this and i would accept he’s a total and utter douche to her if we weren’t shown a glimpse from his pov of him caring when she showed emotion in front of him. she was very emotional in this scene and he didn’t care at all? then why give him that characterization

like make him a piece of trash till the very end if that’s what he’s going to be don’t try to humanize him and show that he fell out of love because she closed herself off and they stopped communicating

EXACTLY

may he suffer terribly for the rest of the webtoon

hmm i think maybe it's the author trying to make him somewhat a complex character? Like he still "cares" for her in some way like when she's cold in their apartment. and they genuinely did have a good relationship in the beginning when they were young and had no troubles in life. but when life got tough, he's the one who dropped the ball and hae soo is always the one putting in the effort trying to salvage their life. In his crappy life, he only cares about himself and prioritizes his comfort/feelings over hae soo's. We only get to see his shittiness when life gets tough, which is unfortunately so realistic for sm men out there.

i can see your point.. we do see how selfish he is in so many ways in their relationship so it does make sense that in this situation all he sees is himself yet again. ig i just expected more remorse on his end considering how long they’ve been together. but like you said there are plenty of men that are actually like this irl :/

if he does end up feeling remorse i hope it hits him hard like a TRUCK and he suffers
