he thought he was straight it’s hard for a queer person to confess to a friend they think is straight because that could ruin the friendship or worse the friend could be homophobic
I’m a queer person. I know the struggles. Dudes been friends with him since highschool he wasn’t worried about the fact that his friend might be homophobic or react negatively. You know someone well enough to know these things. He was perfectly content when his friend had no interest in people, but now that his friend shows interest in someone that isn’t him he has to selfishly get in the way or make moves because it stems from this idea of. “I was perfectly fine with not having you as long as it meant no one else can have you too, but now you want someone and that someone isn’t me so I have to sabotage any budding relationship so that only I can remain by your side” it’s insincere. And 2nd ml’s who do this get no sympathy from me, if you are okay with nothing ever changing btwn you, don’t try to suddenly change that just bc someone knew enters the picture not when you know if they never appeared you never would’ve made a move in the first place.
Real
Sorry yall I can’t sympathize with 2ml who has literally ALL the time in the world to make a move. Literally had from highschool till now. He never once did anything ab it but all of a sudden another guy makes a move and dude makes a move. It’s my biggest pet peeve. Like you had all the chances but refused and now that someone who isn’t scared to make a move does you all of a sudden gotta do smth about it. It pisses me off. I understand being scared but if you were never gonna make a move in the first place just keep at it, don’t suddenly change ur tune just bc there’s another guy in the equation like it makes it seem insincere. I hate it when manhwa or mangas do this. Reading a str8 romance where the childhood friend did this and it pissed me off so bad like just let the ppl be happy, stop trying to sabotage their relationships just bc you didn’t have the balls to do smth before another person.
