Sorry but omg he’s crying and he’s just had it so bad maybe let’s not ever be anything romantic because I don’t think I’d be able to trust him again but it’s impossible to just leave him when he’s about to kill himself
MC is a dumb fuck who has no self respect at all, and ML is selfish and awful
look i get it she wanted him to be safe but for what reason that his mom leave him in debt? I don’t really get it.
he’s either jealous angry or annoyed lol it’s funny and he’s bad at expressing his emotions through words but you can see it so well on his face i like it
let’s not water down these words ML is innocent but he is 22, that is not grooming
Adult grooming is a thing actually. Grooming isn't just specific to a child/adult scenario, it applies to any time a person is manipulating/intimidating an at risk/vulnerable person into doing what they want.
The groomer will look for ways to gain a victim's trust, often with gifts or promises. Eventually, asking for something in return.
In this case, he offered free dinners and money to try to get sexual favors.
There was already a huge power dynamic between them with him being richer, stronger, more powerful, etc.
With the main character being forced to pay a huge sum over an accident he was able to get him to agree to a contract where he exploits him sexually.
Grooming doesn't even have to be sexual either. It can often times be financial. The point is that the Groomer manipulates the victim to exploit them for something.
If you search up Adult Grooming you can find a lot of resources about this.
Like previous commenter said, grooming is not directly related to age, it is a type of relationship and can be age related or not.
like 6 years.. and now you’re crying cause he won’t look back at you? but don’t jump
