Y'all always see this from.one side , it's obviously cause ash never validated his feelings for karlyle and on top of that the record of him bringing either Nick or other alphas when they were hooking up added up to everything that Lyle is insecure about
i wouldn't say he's "making things up" per se, even if he has definitely gotten in his own head about it.
we know he takes everthing at face value and isn't the best at reading between the lines. it's just that he's already super sensitive about the living together thing because STUPID AIDEN (the real villain as far as i'm concerned) put it in his head that he's an 'inconvenience'. not to mention, ash just said to him point blank "maybe it is best if you get your own place".
it's not really miscommunication. he already told ash he feels like an inconvenience, and instead of assuring lyle that he isnt, ash 'f*cked it better', insisted on looking at houses for him together, and then told him it might be best if he moved out. there's not a whole lot there for lyle to misinterpret.
ik ash clearly has smth going on, like he's in prerut or whatever and can't like think straight, but lyle isn't being unreasonable for thinking maybe he's moving things too fast and one of his biggest fears is that ash will get sick of him because hes 'simple' and 'boring' and leave.
ash is the one that knows karlyle isn't the best at deciphering subtext, and is aware of lyles insecurities and isn't just telling him plainly 'i want you to move in, i love having you here, please don't move out'- but again, prerut or whatever, i know.
all that to say, i don't think it's so much a miscommunication issue as it is very unfortunate timing; aiden being a menace, and ash being rendered unable to notice whats happening and nip karlyle's worries in the bud.
(i hope this comes across as like, friendly discussion! im not trying to start an argument or anything, im just the #1 karlyle defender lmao)
in karlyles defense this is his first relationship, his friend said that shit to mess with him (although he likely thought it wouldnt be taken so seriously), and he has social skills relating (almost) to professional environments and relationships only.
hes just insecure and needs some affirmation man
Bro he bouta make me mad he always finding more shit to misinterpret like wdym he's “drawing a line” like bro he just wants to clean up for u so u can rest tf u talking about he's treating u like a “house guest” like what? He js be making up shit to be insecure about atp. Has he not learned his lesson with the miscommunication like cmon bitch y'all are dating
