if you were in this situation, you wouldn’t say shit either and I know from experience that I didn’t. The bottom never once said he likes him or anything positive. The only reason they are dating is to make sure the top doesn’t go off and live somewhere else and cut contact. That’s it. The top is in love with the bottom but it’s not reciprocated. He can’t say something either way and he’s teetering on the edge and the bottom has the nerve to get pissed but it’s actually the bottom that’s causing all of this shit to begin with. If the bottom just said he likes him and that he wants to be with him because he loves him and not because he’s possessive, that would help. Showing love would help. I agree they need to break up and take a break and then come together and lay it all out but while they are still dancing on this tightrope relationship, they can’t move backwards or forwards and will only continue to hurt each other. Again, speaking from experience. Until you’ve actually been through it, you don’t know how scary it is to be in this position and you’re always on the verge of saying how unfair it is cause that’s all you’re thinking about and when someone pushes you, you blurt out all the things you’ve been saying in your head. Him crying and throwing tantrums is normal. He has no one else to talk to about this so he’s literally stuck in his own thoughts and then when pushed, of course it’ll tumble out. He’s a ticking time bomb. Yes, he could end this relationship himself but right now, he knows that to end the relationship, he needs to pack his life up and move far away and completely cut the bottom out of his life and that’s a massive thing to do. To cut out your only lifeline and the only person you trust? Yall forget he’s an orphan and this is the only person he had from childhood until now. He can’t abandon the one person he’s had. It’s been all up to the bottom from the day the bottom pushed him into this relationship to appease him.
