I know we're supposed to root for MC because woooo, he's finally getting a backbone and shit like that but honestly I think he's too caught up with his own feelings and his need to "move on" that he's not even capable of seeing that he's hurting the one person he's proclaiming to care about.
While I understand that he's making boundaries because MLs actions ARE unhealthy and it is actually a good thing for him to get help, I also understand that ML needs this space to actually grow I just wish it wasn't at the cost of putting the MC in a pedestal just because he's in a position where his feelings and his desire to want more with ML is keeping him in a bubble.
That said, He understands he's not the right person to handle that kind of attachment or anxiety and I respect that because most of the time leads are expected to carry that together because that's "romance" when in reality it takes an incredible amount of patience and understanding to even keep a relationship with some of the MLs that pop up in this genre despite the perks they inhibit. So while, MC is callous, hurtful and is stuck on his feelings, I do also think he's level headed and knows ML enough that while his actions may be petty they come from a place of understanding that he's not equipped at this time and emotion wise to shoulder ML.
