bro literally im so glad someone else thinks this, bc that was barely anything to other ml and lets be honest anyone in that situation having to choose between their lover and unborn child would struggle but it was early within the pregnancy so choosing the lover would be the go to choice just bc if she doesnt make it he looses his lover and child

I really thought I was the crazy one for not hating him, so I’m really glad
In yaois the characters are like the shittiest people ever, they even r4pe and cage their lovers and everyone apologises them just because they’re handsome, but now that we have a well-developed, complex and morally gray ML in a heterosexual manhwa everyone is complaining, as if there weren’t even worse characters, and as if he had used, tortur3d and violated her like the others out there

Exactly, this chapter was so painful to read
I know she had her reasons to leave, but I can’t fully support her after everything they went through and after the pain he’s suffering
I can’t even imagine the double betrayal he’s going to feel when he discovers it was all a jest, a made up accident for her to flee

no fr like he only has two bad things and they arent even that bad one can just be seen as manipulative (and yeah i get being upset about the fact he approached her with ulterior motives in the beginning but he fell in love with her at the end so its a win at the end of the day) and the other was just logical, like she wasnt to full term with the pregnancy it hadnt been too long since they learned about the pregnancy when that happens

He need this to learn something tho. Also, just because he finally love her doesn't erase the gaslighting ang manipulation he did before.
"He starts getting to her sefl esteem, making sure to lower it every changes he gets, using her disability as an excuse. He thinks every women loves him and cant wait to take him to bed. He humiliates her in a ballroom full of people. He tells her that she cant run from a rape with a leg like that. He takes her cane and forces her to walk with him. He threatens her to tell her secret. He gets mad she didnt give him a prize for keeping his month. He forces her to come hunting and makes her tremble in fear. He makes an insinuation he wants a marriage with her but proposes to her sister. He forces a kiss. He tells her he hopes her bad leg doesnt affect her uterus."
This is from another commenter.
He deserves this and he also need this for his character development.

This was before tho, after their love arc their relationship changed and he himself acted differently
He lied and acted as a shitty man before and after for sure by lying and manipulating her, but his intentions changed - if he only wanted her as a prize because of his pride at the beginning, after he wanted her close to him because of his twisted way of loving and because he obviously didn’t know how to show (and keep) his love otherwise
It was deserved for sure but not like this I think

He won't change his ways if this didn't happen. He loves her but he'll still continue to manipulate her to make sure she's stuck by his side. Do you think he changed his ways just because he loves her. He will even think of more ways to make her stay by his side in an unhealthy way. For ref, when she demanded a divorce, he locked her up in the house. Let's be real, he needed this dramatic lesson to change because he's a stuck up man. Intentions alone can't support a relationship. There's no trust between them even though they love each other. He needs to know that the FL can leave his sorry ass one way or another if he didn't change.
This may be controversial, but I don’t like seeing him suffer like this, and personally I don’t think he did something so wrong that he needs to suffer this way for so long… we see countless of MLs that do crazy shit things (even worse than this) and get forgiven like it’s nothing, and he himself did nothing wrong but trying to save the woman he loves deeply when she was dying and realising his feelings late
Of course he hid many things from her and he shouldn’t have - like his reasons for approaching her - but we have literally seen him lose his mind and fall for her in the deepest way possible (even though he’s quite the crazy and obsessive kind) and I believe he only lacked the empathy and the ability to understand fully her grieving when their child died (honestly I too would have saved her and not the baby, who wasn’t even born yet)
