It was never an open relationship for his exes bc they were all uncomfortable about it. A real open relationship isn't one sided and doesn't hurt the other partner.
This isn't necessarily anyone's fault tho, they shouldn't have dated him in the first place
it was an open relationship. they literally said “if you ask him out when he’s not seeing anyone, he’ll take you up on it, no matter who you are. but then there’s these ‘condition’. should he feel like fooling around w other girls and such, you’re not allowed to complain abt it whatsoever”. idk your opinion abt open relationship, but it’s literally having more than one partner at a time. and their case was mutually consented whether the uke or the girls he dated got hurt or not. not that I’m saying that the whole concept was healthy on the uke’s side, the point was kaede should’t have been painted by the readers as some kind of asshole when both parties literally consented to that kind of relationship. it takes little comprehension to understand that.
The seme doesn't even seem like someone who is into open relationships. He only did that cuz he never loved any of his exes. Then when he actually fell in love with someone for the first time, all of that went out the window and he's strictly closed relationship and monogamous.
He's not some scum like some ppl r saying, but he also isn't completely innocent bc even tho he listed all the rules before the relationship, he never tried or engaged romantically at all. Which is smth he never stated he wouldn't do. He never said he wouldn't even try to love or care about them, yet he did none of that. It's unhealthy to paint him as a saint. The only real 100% healthy and innocent person here is the bottom.
My criticism of the top has nothing to do with open relationships.
lmao uk it’s kids reading shi on this godforsaken site when they can’t even comprehend the whole concept of an “open relationship”
