Some of yall need to lock in bc the ex is awful right from the get go like whew good riddance!! god i feel so bad for the mc bc his ex is such a textbook example of a manipulative narcissistic abuser its insane the way mc keeps on trying to deny and cover it by saying “hes a good guy..” baby you are a victim. 20 years of that shit is insane no wonder mc’s self worth and esteem is in the gutter like hes getting mentally abused by his parents AND his lover. Jesushdjd
to see mc’s memories of him and the discrepancies of “hes a good guy” vs the ex physically abusing him (the chair leg fucking broke yall lmao), obsessively isolating him and manipulating/gaslighting him is.. yeeshbdhdj ml need to take him to therapy next
im not sure if the author intended the ex to be written in this, Uncanny valley, uncertain feeling to it where youre not sure if this guy is good or not bc if so then theyre doing a great job. Its almost like we’re retracing the memories of him in mc’s shoes to really consider: [was my lover abusive? Was i abused all this time?] bc unwinding 20 years of that shit is not easy i almost fell for the “yeah doesnt look like a bad guy..” then i remember the broken chair and im just Yep. That guy’s a piece of shit.
The horror is getting tired and repetitive so i hope everything ends within 20 chaps atleast. Especially since we got a very productive and efficient ml xD what made me really feel iffy with the ex is also bc of how introspective the ml is being with everything and how quick he is in noticing weird shit. It’d be a different story if abuse is used like simple foreplay (lmao) in this but no the atmosphere is very green forest here with the ml so i hope it ends satisfyingly…. Give mc the freedom and therapy he deserves amen
