People are allowed to feel and behave a certain way and being a psychologist you should this better. He went through shit and made it a problem for his partner. Besides his attachment issues or whatever. He SA’d MC in his sleep, was forceful NUMEROUS times while pushing sex on him. The way he behaved around the best friend was only justified bcs he was equally as much of a jerk as ML if not manipulative and creepy as well. My empathy really flies out of the window, you know? Not to play the judge jury and the executioner but this was an ass read and that is also valid and justified. To hell with his ptsd and issues. Everyone has a closet full of skeletons not everyone is a creep. This shit only flies bcs the ML is conventionally attractive looking and people want an obsessive lover. *eyes roll*
Which is why I said "it would be better for him to "seek help". Just coz I only mentioned his suicidal tendencies doesn't mean that that's the only "issue" that need to be addressed.
you contradicted yourself the moment you said his actions are “justified”. are his fears valid? sure. at least then we would be able to segue into pushing for better and healthier behavioral outlets for his valid feelings. but no. you said they were JUSTIFIED, insinuating that they are acceptable reactions that do not require accountability, which would literally be getting help for said tendencies you mention at the end of your comment.
idk why there are negative reviews regarding this story but as a psychiatrist who have dealt with cases like extreme depression, PTSD, anxiety/separation anxiety specifically, the male lead's actions, fears, and "obsession" are all justified. it would be better for him to "seek help", especially with his suicidal tendencies though.
