Unpopular Opinion....And It's LONG!

I do feel bad for the glasses guy. Dont get me wrong, his actions have been the shittiest. However society pressure and family pressure to be "normal" is not the easiest. I'm honestly abit proud of him for coming out to his family.

What did his mom say to him a few chapters ago? That she was glad that he married a sweet girl, and was through his bad faze, or something to that effect. That means at one point in time he probably told her, and what did she probably do? More then likely she opposed to him being gay.

Probably constantly talked about friends of the family marrying normally, mentioning available single women, setting up marriage meetings without his permission. He probably was tolerating all of that up until she got sick, and much like the uke with his mom, glasses-kun didnt want to stress her sick body, or worst she or the family hit him with guilt like "I want to see my grandchildren before I die" or some mess.

So he mentally caved. He broke up with the uke and got married to his wife. Now some of you will hit me with the "well the uke is going through the exact same thing now and he opposed his whole family to be with the seme, so I ain't letting glasses-kun off the hook".

First glasses-kun and the uke are two different people. Not everyone can mentally stand the same amount of pressure to be themselves before they break down and conform to be like everyone else. And although the uke's mother really it's about it, he has a best friend who is a supporter, his brother was a supporter, and even his father was like, I ain't really okay with us, but just dont let your mother know. Also the semes mother has come around to know that family is family so now she is a supporter. The uke has a small support network. It's not big by any means, but its there.

You dont see that anywhere for glasses-kun. So under pressure he leaves the guy he in love with to marry his wife, and mind you there is no great way to do that. The uke just left out of nowhere for a woman is skeptical about love, but finds it again and in light of recent events decides to be braver. Regardless of work, and even regardless of family when they get found out.

Glasses-kun is witnessing snippets of this and of course he's mad and jealous and probably a bit regretful too. Alot of it is probably self loathing too. Why did I leave him? Why didnt he try this hard for me? Why didnt I try this hard for him? Why does he get to be happy in the relationship I want? I mean I could go on and on. And you know what happens when your jealous and mad. You become an ass and say and do mean and spiteful shit, because the saying "misery needs company" is a very factual ass saying.

All in all, I hope he becomes braver. I hope he divorces his wife or she divorces him so they both can be happier. I honestly dont know what I hope for his mother. She older and sick and probably wont be changing her ways, and I dont wish her dead, but I guess I can hope she'll at least ignore his love life as not to cause more damage. I also hope he finds someone new to love and has a support network of his own even if it isnt family.

These are likely things I won't see in the webtoon, and glasses kun is more likely to be more of an ass as time passes if nothing is done, but these are my prayers for him beyond the story I'll be unable to read. (︶︿︶)

    from my point of view, he cheats both on his wife and MC. if he was honest with the MC from that start about his feelings, then at least the MC won't have to suffer this much and was ready to move on. but he didn't, he choose to give in and hide it from MC while going after him even after BEEN MARRIED!
    if he really really love the MC, like he says he is, he will not try to harm his happiness. no matter how much hurt he was, he would try to support him but not hurt him like he is doing now. he become a very harmful and bad person to everyone just cause he is unhappy. dude, there are many people that are unhappy and didn't get their first love! the world does not revolve around you, that how a child act not an adult man!
    hall even the MC didn't get his first senpai love but you don't see him try to destroy his weeding or ruin his thing with the girl, do you? that cause he is an adult.
    while what his ex do? he chooses to marry cause what his mom says, he chooses to hurt the MC and his BF at any chance he gets and be toxic to tham cause he is unhappy so MC should be like him. and he used a poor girl that he does not give a damn has a tool cause it is convenient for him. no matter what I would never forgive this asshole.

    I agree with you, I hope everyone becomes happier. Yao Jian is definitely acting shitty (and ngl, that punch to the face was super satisfying), but I hope he is able to move past that attitude and realize that making his life and Qui Yu's life miserable to satiate his family isn't the answer.

    I'm mainly commenting though cuz I love that you refer to Yao Jian as Glasses-kun the whole time XD

    Glad to know you are someone that is so mentally strong. Unfortunately, not everyone can be mentally strong like you. I'm not trying to say his actions have been great, and your right the world doesnt just revolve around one person. However like I said before everyone is different in pressuring situations. I'm not here to judge how he handling it, only to give people another look at it. Alot of the times I feel that people who read about antagonistic characters can't believe they can permanently and positively change. Like can a person who was sleeping around and cheating at one point get married and be faithful? Answer is...they sure can. However it's in most people's experience that they dont. Thing is, just because it hasn't been your experience, doesnt mean it hasn't been someone else's. Im not saying glasses-kun will change for the better all of a sudden or at all, I rather just analyze characters then hate on them. I respect your opinion for not forgiving him though, not many people would forgive someone that hurt them. I just like to look at things in a different light sometimes. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    Haha, I normally love character with glasses. Lol That punch and the slap from the wife were definitely a major highlight. He was asking for it~ (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
