Personally, I'd say it was more so benney's fault than the photographer. benney knew the photographer was hitting on him but instead of turning him down immediately, he accepted the guy's advances and slept with him. If Benney had turned him down and stayed loyal or at least faithful to Aaron, then none of this would've happened.
Also, (this is just my opinion/what I believe ofc but) I wanted to point out, if benney truly loved Aaron and was loyal to him, he would've spoken about the matter to Aaron and come up with a compromise. eg. Donor, adoption, etc.
If benney's first reaction was to divorce instead of talking about to Aaron and asking if they could consult with a doctor to see if anything could be done/fixed, it brings me to believe that Benney was just looking for an excuse to leave Aaron (be it subconsciously or consiously).
Anyways, that's what I think. You don't have to agree.
The manga doesnt do justice to this scene
