I get it (￣∇￣"). So, two things: at this point, Ian doesn't trust Michele's sincerity and still feels the need to carry out these manipulative “tests” because of his traumatic past. Secondly, a bit of a spoiler, but there are certain truths Michele will never know because Ian believes keeping them from him is the best way to protect him.
man, he kinda deserves to know at least some of the heinous things his own family did tho but yeah, he's so innocent, kind and almost pure for his own good it's not even funny ._.
Oh gosh I believe he'll never know about his family (at least from the point it's at in the novel). Imagine him finding out that his father, the man he looks up to with regards to matters of love, was actually one of the perpetrators of s**ual violence against the man he loves ?
HE COULD'VE JUST TOLD ANATOLD ABOUT HIS DAD BEING A PEDO DOUCHEBAG, BECAUSE HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HIS FAMILY OTHER THAN SURFACE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THEM AND WHAT THEY'VE BEEN SHOWING HIM, PLEASE STOP PLAYING WITH HIM, HE'S INNOCENT （/TДT)/
