Commenting so I can find out too.
It’s not so much hate. MC is extremely reckless and got into many many bad situations. He pushed ML to do dangerous things without a safe word and kept pushing ML and eventually ML gave in and did something dangerous to MC and he ended up in hospital. ML has been cold and distant from MC ever since then. He feels both guilt and anger towards MC.
Fast forward a few weeks or months and MC gets himself in another bad situation and this time it’s really really serious. Like traumatic serious. The cops are involved and for his safety, he ends up living with ML. I think people dislike the ML because even in this situation where MC just faced something traumatic and is very clearly scared and trying to do better and be less reckless, ML is still cold and distant. Tbh, I would too. This guy pushes you to do something dangerous and gets hurt and you said no a million times before doing it and then you hear he did it again and got seriously hurt and now he’s on your doorstep and asking for help and you give it because you’re a good person but you still feel all that guilt and anger at them for making you into a person who puts another into hospital. That’s something you don’t just forget. People are putting MCs trauma over MLs trauma but he has never once in all his years of life put someone in hospital. I feel bad for both of them. I do want them to get along and trauma bond since they both seem to need it but two stubborn men won’t change easily. At least we see some progress.
Thanks for jogging my memory, I remember now. I was kinda surprised to find people reacting the way they did towards ml because I didn't remember thinking or feeling anything Ike that towards him in the previous season hence the question. I remember ml was logical while Mc was reckless / not really thinking about his well-being. But also, I feel like ppl are reacting this way towards ml bc the story is being told from the mc's perspective. We don't really know what's going through ml's head, but I'd bet the whole thing had been traumatic for him too.
Well I’m pretty sure I remember the ML crying or something at the hospital bedside next to MC and begging him to stop but MC just told him “it’s my life and imma keep doing it! You can’t tell me what to do” and true to his word, he kept it up and ended up in the hospital again. It was definitely shown that it was traumatic for the ML but people are ignoring it in favour of MCs trauma which is being shoved into our faces over and over. I hate victim blaming and I’ve faced victim blaming myself so I don’t say this lightly but the MC put himself in this situation over and over, faced the consequences once (and that was with a responsible person who took him to the hospital right away) and STILL did it again. What did he expect? He literally did this to himself. ML was a mostly unwilling participant who was pushed into it and although yes, he could have not done it to begin with, it was either he does it or MC goes out and does it anyway! The MC literally threatened ML into it!
This. I would feel more furious.
Honestly I’d just be sad and a little lost at this point. Like I’d be angry but more angry at myself that the pressure and emotional blackmail worked and I’d be lost cause yes it’s going the way I want and he’s stopped being reckless but at the cost of both of our mental health.
I would be furious because of what they did to him, for him not listening and going out with bunch of guys, not making him stop. Its sad, yes but the fact that it couldve been easiely prevented and how sad it is, that itself is enough go mad. You can feel all of those things together.
True. I’d just personally get over most of my anger pretty quick. As someone who has anger issues and has been to anger management, feeling lost and sad are harder to manage than anger.
For me, its opposite. I am the type who almost never get angry. Maybe since i am the type who holds a lot, this type of situation would trigger me.
lol sounds like it depends on the personality type. I used to hold a lot in and then explode like a bomb but now I let it out little by little so I never explode. I highly recommend it! There are lots of healthy ways to express “negative” emotions without them being toxic for you or others and they’ve helped me a lot. I hope you can find something that helps you since studies show that people who hold emotions in end up getting sicker than those who express their emotions freely.
