I agree!
Because imagine if they got together at that time or stayed friends.. the inferiority complex he already has towards the FL because of his abusive dad would’ve tanked any kind of relationship they would’ve developed lol
The mom is atrocious too it also kinda shows how abuse for men is just kinda glazed over as discipline (of course abuse for women is ignored all together) but for the ML it just seems like since he’s the man his reactions to the abuse are more central than the actual abuse if that makes sense. It’s kinda concerning tbh bc not all victims react the same way and from what we saw he wasn’t just beaten he was repeatedly beaten over years and compared to the FL. Like??
I think he also chose what was most comfortable for him and that was pleasure and comfort over unfamiliarity and new feelings. Heck that’s why he started comparing the tutor to his childhood crush lol the guy was a kid like give him some slack
Of course as he grew older those habits became his own hindrance but I like how he’s trying to make an effort even if it doesn’t seem like it
"hate comnents" he is not a real person
messed up that i see more hate comments for the ML than the so called parents that abused their son (yes including the mother because how could she just let that happen for years. why didnt you run away with your child when the first time it happened) What the ML needs is therapy. Jail time for the sperm donor.
this isnt an excuse for the ML but i'm trying to understand why he thought cutting ties with fl was better after what happened.mind you this guy was still in shock and processing what happened when made that decision.
if they stayed as friends and fl happens to see him get beat up again the fl would try to save him again. and i dont think our ml wanted that to happen so he may have thought cutting ties was the best so the fl wouldnt give a damn. And he was correct after that they had no contact and she didnt see him getting abused again so she didnt need to save him. (though the abuse hasnt actually stopped, it's just our fl hasnt seen it).
