I know riftan's character arc right now is frustrating, but i think most ppl forgot that this story's theme is (i kinda forgot the exact wording myself but its something along the line of-) the perfect(?) love story of the imperfect (pls correct me lol)
So the thing is both maxi and ruftan are written as very flawed characters. While riftan's affection was swoonworthy in the early arc, there will come a point where that alone is not enough for a healthy relationship and his flaw which is his overprotectivenss and paranoia come to surface (which is right now), and he will be working on it albeit in a very, painfully, excruciating slow burn.
I do have my moments of wanting to pull my hair on their lack of deep communication, but all in all, im REALLY enjoying the show
