truthfully, despite lyle's background (his a**hole grandfather and lack of support from parents), his inferiority and very very very low self-esteem still feel just weird and... i am not sure how to say but it's kinda not possible.
Come on the guy is a nobility, he doesn't lack money to see a therapist or even ten who will walk him through his feelings and trauma to process it slowly.
Besides, can't you really just speak your mind to your lover and talk about what'a bothering you??
And that ash guy, Gosh, I don't like him. He was definitely leading Lyle on bc that's not how FWB relationships work. You don't get affectionate with your partner after the deed. Boundaries should already have been set before they started fking around.
And, on their first meeting on that café or restau or whatever, I still don't understand that sudden I won't be attracted to s1 like you shit. The whole scene was abrupt.
Then again, if all what happened didn't happen, we wouldn't have this story.
Don't mind i am just overly rationalizing things.
