i think he was exessively mean about the whole thing. It wasnt such an issue which needed to be expressed so aggressively. but ofc hes a jerk so its expected. And anyone would have a hard time processing such a huge gap in his behavior as his lover and as his boss. Their personality are crashing way too much and both of them have diff expectations from a relationship
nah he was straight up berating instead of leading
I like the way your thinking but heellllnnnaaahhhhhhh I if it was me I would have cried ma ass of
His work ethics was already explained before the bottom came to the picture. He, himself, also knows that about him, even the rumors circulating under his name.
I personally like how strict he is, how he handles things, and how he commands. One only learns from a strict teacher (depends tho). One only improves when push comes to shove. You won't be learning in you comfort zone. We're talking about work and reality, not watching the world in a rose tinted glasses. The bottom may find this hard, but that's how he improves - as a subordinate. The problem is, the bottom is yet to process it. He's learning and maturing. He's still catching up while the top is already at the peak.
Indeed, there is a gap between their expectations and personality. If they broke up, that could be expected. However, as they're yet to reach that point, I'm still understanding them. I like them. I like how realistic this is and reading comments like 'that's harsh.' This show how one expects a relationship to be all fluffy and pink if you're dating you're asshole superior.
I'm not defending the top, I'm objectively looking at him as a lover, as a professional, and as a person. Deducing their characteristics is fun and I like how clear the author is. (The boss of the bottom actually said that the top is not that harsh to the bottom compared to other workers he whipped haha)
I'm not dissing the bottom for being weak and unable to process things. This may shatter him, but will build him into a better person, a sharp professional, and a lover with defined boundaries.
Some of you may say that between lovers, there should be no boundaries. The top should be kind. The superior could guide softly. But no. Realistically speaking, no. Lovers, especially if they're working as a superior and a subordinate, should have a boundary. Arguments might start and say 'Would you dine with the person happily who just wrecked your day?' Hahah Depends on how one things.
Just my opinion tho. Hahahah
Dang, how realistic. The top has a very clear boundary, he knows how to separate work and personal feelings. Him being a shit has been plastered in his name since day 1, there's no wondering there. I like that about him. The bottom is still processing as this is his first time. He's still struggling to differentiate things.
I mean, they're in their workplace, and he is his superior. I believe none is at the wrong here, just personality differences... and individuals navigating the maps of love and work.
