ik its easy to get annoyed with Karlyle for never saying what he thibks but like!! Yall have seen his grandfather??? Lyle has been taught for so long that his thoughts dont matter, that its better to keep them to himself so as not to inconvenience others or make a situation more complicated. He's been made to feel like he has to temper and manage the reactions of those around him, so he tries to anticipate reactions and find explanation for behavior.
BUT HES TRYING. One thing i can really appreciate about Karlyle is that despite the way he was raised, he's honest. It can become so easy to start lying and just say what you know people want to hear. But, If you ask him a question, he will answer honestly even if it frustrates ot embarasses him.
Its Ash that pisses me off. He knows that Karlyle is a chronic overthinker and takes things at face value. Karlyle literally told him "i dont want to inconvenience you" and instead of explaining that he obviously does not want Lyle to move out... they just glossed over it when he initiated sex.
But, I suppose hes like... incapacitated now since hes very obviously in prerut or somthing... something he should very obviously communicate to Karlyle
