He didn’t! I would say that Minato has been supporting Shizuma instead. He pushed Shizuma to attend the picnic with his coworkers when he had a planned prior engagement with him. He understands when Shizuma too busy at work to see him regularly. Shizuma couldn’t even make it for the apartment viewing bc of work, and Minato indulged him there as well. This is what I meant for Minato bending for Shizuma. Yes, Minato gets upset, he gets angry, he avoids Shizuma. But it’s not bc he resents Shizuma, but rather, he’s blaming himself for being upset and jealous
I don’t understand ppl hating on Minato, especially when it’s shown time and time again that he IS trying to reign in his jealousy, he is very aware of his trauma and the way it impacts their relationship. He WANTS Shizuma to have the best career and be happy. This entire time, it’s been Minato bending for the sake of Shizuma. In my opinion, it’s Shizuma who is pushing the limit here, he’s frustrating me too much…and I hate this bc I actually REALLY liked Shizuma in the first story
