Okay so what I considered cheating as in the MC case is , he entered a bar refused to even answer one call ( ig he was being his reckless bratty self here by not answering).
But he did indeed entertained another man that is some level of crossing lines .
Yes he was assaulted (and no he did not cheat when he was raped)
When confronted uke lied about staying at a friend place , straight up lying to seme (no communication at all .)
And looking back at past chapter's uke never communicates . Nor does the seme their relationship is built on mc being bratty then seme correcting uke.
Tbh both MC and seme is wrong in this situation, for lack of communication.
Ofc seme gonna be mad his partner went to a bar didn't pick up his calls , comes the next morning, after spending the night with some dude.
But I do not and will not justify seme way of dealing with the situation though I can see why he deals with it the way he does.
That's due to how they built their relationship.
Reckless brat does sht, seme punish him for it.
It's fine lmao you realized so that's cool .
Yeah um I think it's cause some readers don't consider when the ml without mc consent forces himself on uke , they don't consider that as rape , but if someone who's not ml do it , suddenly it's cheating. And mc cheated.
Idk how that works in their head. (And I'm not just talking about this bl I'm talking about a lot of bls I see that in ) When it comes to that.
I highly agree with u on he didn't cheat when he was assaulted he was taken advantage of.

Was the Seme not already told that relationships within BDSM archetypes are built on trust and communication by that blonde woman, does he not trust his partner. Also red head needs to realise that he got raped and was not cheating, why does he not realise this even when he is shown to be quite experience and most likely should know that he was raped, I'm sure the author is simply into that and if he realised he was raped he might communicate which would mean they don't get to write torture porn, how sad.
