I so agree with you!!!
You’re exactly right. A better way to think about is without the bad, you’ll never see the good. A person is comprised of both. If not, we are all walking robots who won’t know what good is even when it is staring them in the face.
Preach all during they story especially the part when he left everything and was still treated like crap I was yelling at the phone it couldn't be me it could not fucking be me I was severely pissed at both of them the like for putting up with that shit and the same for being an ass just cause he was in denial
Ya know, I came back to read this after a long time. I still think the same, but I am able to better empathize with the traumatized and hurt Julian. I still think it's absolutely awful that it took someone else having an interesting in his lover for his dumb self to realize 'oh, maybe this nasty-faced man is worth my time'.
Sorry if I'm being a salty ass bitch, but calling your lover's face 'Nasty' and insulting him, no matter how deep in denial you are, IS A NO-NO. I was feeling terrible for the guy the entire time, he left everything, he's clearly not in his right mind. Although he and his wife were not in good terms, he will be loosing his job and his daughter (Technically, I don't know how it'll be managed, but for some time, it won't be easy) he basically just threw himself away, had no self-respect and kept on giving, just to receive a nasty declaration like that, and his ass licked? It's upsetting... He's just taking every nasty insult, ill treatment and pouring his noble, selfless, obsessive self into that long haired dude,Whose good qualities I have yet to discover.
