The amount of people in this comment section who don’t understand relationships and wouldn’t make good partners is INSANE. If you can’t respect the fact your partner STRUGGLES to express emotions, then I’m sorry, but you have your own inner work to do. Autism, anxiety, aspd, bpd, depression, rocd, or simply being introverted; so many things can play into having trouble expressing affection, and there are many other ways to show affection than just “I love you”. Quality time, physical contact, gift giving, and even just trust. Maybe I’m officially unc status (22) but giving me freedom, especially trusting me enough to do so, is a huge turn on. Like yes, let’s hang out with friends but be in each other’s arms at home. Do all of you think you need to be possessive and controlling for it to be love?
A little communication goes a long way. A simple “I feel like you don’t show affection enough” can easily solve this issue. It’s okay to have a preference when it comes to how you receive affection, but completely disregarding your partners love just because YOU don’t see it is extremely selfish. Not everyone processes emotion the same, not everyone shows affection the same, and not everyone finds it easy to say “I love you”. I wish more of you drama obsessed teenagers could understand that. Love comes in many forms, and it’s hard to find someone who expresses it the same way you do. I’ve been in this situation, and it feels dehumanizing. For me, this is due to my autism, gad, and avpd. I struggle to say “I love you” verbally and physical contact can be very hard early into a relationship. Being broken up with for not meeting their standards is disheartening and only puts me off from further relationships. Let’s normalize communication and trust.
You all act like ML is insufferable but accept that breaking up without even trying is okay? Not even trying to hear your partner out or understand their side? Antagonizing them over ONE not even negative thing?
This comment section makes me realize how little people actually respect others nowadays. If your type isn’t people like ML, that’s fine, but that’s no excuse to pin him as the bad guy just because you expect love to look a certain way. As you get older, you realize how immature this way of thinking and this standard for love is. Wait till you find out some countries, like Japan, don’t have people who are overly expressive. They don’t say “I love you” very often, especially only 1 year into a relationship. Does that mean these people don’t deserve a partner?
Okay, I’ll end this here. I fully expect many of you to still disagree, especially with how downhill reading comprehension has gotten in the last few years. It just further proves my point LMAO. I do hope some of you can finally understand and change your mind, even just a little.
And how do you all like the comments that say “communication is key” yet dislike my comments LOL I’m saying the same thing!!!!! Just In a lot more detail. C’mon
MC pisses me off sooo bad. Genuinely, who breaks up without 1. trying to get evidence and 2. TALKING !??? Bro didn’t even give the guy a chance and doesn’t even bother trying to hear him out. Slop story
Who tf wants to date a nonchalant mf who doesn't even care about breaking up bffr
Exactly
You wouldn’t know how he’d take breaking up if you’d actually TALK. COMMUNICATE!!!! Communication really is nonexistent in these stories. Me personally? I wouldn’t care if my partner was nonchalant if I’d TALK and LEARN about how he feels without jumping to conclusions and ending things without even trying. They’ve only been together for a year. Just tell me you don’t understand relationships or how other people process emotions. “Toxic nonchalant” personality meanwhile some of us act like this because we genuinely cannot process or express emotion like everyone else. You can be in a healthy relationship with someone who’s bad at expressing emotion. Why? Because there are different ways to show affection!!!!! Physical contact, gift giving, quality time. It doesn’t need to be words of affirmation or jealousy. I’d let my partner go have fun, I’d spend time with them, but I’m someone who struggles with saying “I love you”. I’ve had partners who were the same. The key is trust, talking to each other, and understanding one another. Expecting someone to act a certain way to fit your own standards is toxic and selfish. Same as being overly jealous and overprotective. I genuinely need both of you to understand how selfish and immature this MC is when it comes to his idea of how his partner, a whole other human being, should act for him. Especially without even talking to him or asking him to be more expressive.
All this about communication when ML never tried to
im ngl, while i read this, ive given arthur morgans voice to richard and dutch van der linde’s voice to jeff LOL
I thought I was the only one lmaoo
STILL going in circles !? How did this end with such hard to read chapters and no character development, just to continue the cycle in this first side chapter? I only stayed hoping it’d improve but wow, I might drop this now
The translation for this made it so hard to follow, and I’m actually kinda disappointed we didn’t really even see Benny top Aaron. Kinda sloppy but eh whatever. This isn’t the worst thing I’ve read lol
this is clearly by a cis man. its slop. why the fuck is his nipples an inch long and his ass constantly prolapsed !? and of course it has a old fatass raping the mc. this is trash
The art is soo good and this had so much potential, but my god it’s all focused on coercion :/ and MC still only said he loved ML that one time. I fully hoped he’d say it at least while they were fucking
I’m mourning what we could’ve had for Hoseob… he was so hot before they changed his design ugh
gonna just yap about what pmo about this story LMAO
idk about you all, but MC pisses me off so bad. sure, ML is taking it too far, and thats inexcusable, but holy shit it really gets to a point and I can understand his frustration. hell, *I* come from a family who struggles financially, even as a 22 year old. so I can say I get why he’s so anxious about taking money, but when your LITERAL PARTNER is FULLY OFFERING, NO STRINGS ATTACHED purely because they want to support you, will be responsible, and is stubborn about it, TAKE THE DAMN HELP. I hate that pride BS. I hate taking money and gifts from people, but I at least accept it when the other person really wants to give it. Having your kindness, support, and gifts be constantly turned down does hurt. A relationship comes with transactions, thats natural. From financial support down to simple chores. All that “he wants to tie me down with his money!!” shit is so ridiculous. Like DUH, HES YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!! THAT INHERENTLY MEANS BEING TIED DOWN!!! Nobody likes being in a relationship with someone who only thinks about breaking up. If you don’t think you’ll last, why even stay in the first place? It’s insufferable. Just think about the present. Also, it’s so contradictory to worry about “being tied down” since he’s so infatuated, yet worrying he’ll dump you???? It’s so confusing dude, just pick one. This is such a hard read since they keep going back and forth over the same shit over and over and i can understand both their views to an extent, yet MC is just plain stupid. Honestly. If i were ML, i’d be pretty frustrated too atp
ML def took it too far but I agree its so damn annoying that MC keeps thinking about breaking up and stuff. He also realllly needs that money on top of ML wanting to pay it and he still doesn't accept
Well tbh I get why he doesn't want to accept the money in such a huge sum. I can't remember if it was mentioned how much time has passed by now since the first moment they slept together but if the aren't dating for a couple of years I would also feel strange to accept such a huge amount of money. Because they are from such different backgrounds (poor/rich) there is this financial discrepancy, for one of them money doesn't has such a big meaning because he has an abundance of it, and for the other he a has to work a lot to set aside some small sum of money at all. MC probably also associates getting money in exchange for some service because he didn't get it handed down so easily, therefore he can't accept getting it without giving something back. And if someone pays thousands of dollars of debt back what kind of service can you offer in exchange to the ML that is proportional to it? If they were in longer relationship, I guess after a couple of years the money topic would already been resolved so that he wouldn't have such a problem accepting it because their love is so strong that they stayed together for such a long time and would kindly accept the help of his partner.
But for now the MC is just to inconsistently for me in his emotions: one moment he confesses multiple times to him, the other moment he hopes that he can escape this situation as quickly as possible.
Interested in the opinion of there fellow readers
As I’ve previously stated, I’m in an extremely similar situation as MC financially, minus the debt. So I think I understand MC better than anyone from a realistic standpoint. I was raised thinking that borrowing/taking money means owing something in return, and if you don’t return the favour, you’re in big shit. However, if it were my partner, and especially someone who believes money is all he has, I’d give him reassurance but also allow him to do whats comfortable. And if comfortable means helping out financially (which any partner should do if they can afford it), then I’d accept, even if it makes me anxious. I get incredibly guilty when people try to buy me things or give me money and I refused too much already.
And again, if you truly love the other person, why would you refuse everything they have and be suspicious of them? If you worry they’ll hold it against you, maybe you shouldn’t be in that relationship. Or any relationship for that matter. Even if someone isn’t like ML by being rich or such, there are many people who express their love through gifts/money. Imagine you express your love for someone by gift giving, but that person constantly turns you down because of their own pride or suspicions. It’d hurt, wouldn’t it? It’s the same as any other love language; quality time, words of affirmation, etc.
Of course, I understand that feeling of “what if they leave me and regret spending their money on me?” and whatever, way too much even, but that’s no excuse to be a horrible partner and put distance between your lover. It’s toxic and nobody likes when someone does that.
I do understand where you’re coming from, of course. However, I want to express how that mindset it damaging for not only partner, but yourself. If it’s not something you can get past, your relationships are doomed lol
I need author to look at some dogs rq cause I’m still trying to figure out what breeds they are especially samsam. I assumed his boss is a doberman but his ears are weird and his tail doesn’t have the right colour (doberman tails don’t have a white tip). And samsam is just, a squirrel dog or smth
Maybe a golden retriever mixed with smth?
He looks like a poorly drawn Shiba Inu or a Korean Jindo. If he were a golden retriever he’d be fluffy all around, not just the tail. (I don’t suggest he’s a Pomeranian cause they mention him being a big breed.)
His tail doesn’t really look like it’s supposed to be a Shiba Inu or Jindo type tail. More like a poodle texture but his ears don’t match with poodle. I’ll just settle with some backyard bred doodle
Their grown tails can look that fluffy and squirrel like, more so with Shibas. I also wouldn’t put it past the artist just not knowing how puppy anatomy works and trying to miniaturize adult traits thinking it would fit. Plus big poodles aren’t very popular over there, the mini ones are and he’s stated to not be a small breed.
I’m going entirely based off looks here, which as I’ve stated, his tail is not the same texture nor shape as a Shiba Inu or Jindo. Doodle is the only thing closest in appearance that I could find
