im frustrated and upset. no, not cuz the mc doesnt wanna be out, but bcuz he lied abt the ml and now put him in a bad situation. lets say the mc decided not to say anything after the first question and the ml says “yes,” that would put mc in a bad situation where he has to “reject” the ml cuz he doesnt wanna come out. if that were the situation, then id be fucking angry at the ml, but that isnt what happened. hell, even the first lie didnt make me mad. him saying that the ml didnt have a crush on him was perfectly fine, a little white lie so he wouldnt have to come out or be put in a bad light. it’s the following lies that makes me hella mad. “he’s seeing a girl” ??????? this lie was completely unnecessary. yk he could have said “no he doesnt have a crush on me” and the ml could have continued on with talking abt some faceless guy he has a crush on, but he didnt. he didnt let his partner handle the situation and now he has to keep this lie going, the lie that hes seeing this girl. THE PROBLEM ISNT ABOUT NOT WANTING TO COME OUT. THE PROBLEM IS ABOUT HOW THE MC LIED ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE AND NOW THAT SOMEONE HAS TO KEEP LYING TO HIS OWN FRIENDS, PEOPLE HE SHOULD TRUST AND NOT LIE TO CUZ IT WOULD HURT THEM. also, i am not straight nor privileged. i am a pansexual transman who was in a same-sex relationship for two fucking years. i know what its like to have to hide your identity from everyone u know, and it sucks, but when u make a lie for someone despite yall not talking abt it beforehand, then itll only hurt that person. the mc should be thankful he has such a loving and devoted partner who can easily blow past what happened. and i havent even started talking abt bros lack of communication :// dont get me wrong, i love this story, but that doesnt mean i cant be frustrated when the characters make dumb decisions. honestly, theres just a huge lack of trust from the mc to the ml, obviously due to terrible anxiety which is just sad and i hope it gets better as time passes
