Except he is an adult making his own decisions. He is aware of what he’s doing.
so what you're saying is that, since he is an adult, he should be affected by his traumatic past that he never got the chance to heal because he had a responsibility of his child? sure he has zero self respect but like, it's literally because of the mixed signals. i don't expect anyone else to understand but as someone who have more or less been in the same situation as him (not as excessive), it really put me on the lowest point of my life. this story is annoying but on these parts, its kinda realistic, mc acted like how a human would act in such situations.
ok not child*** dawg that was mistake, that his responsibility in the dead of the ml, no that it actually is his responsibility, but its quite humane of him to think it is his
not every character in fiction has to mentally strong all the time
the victim blaming here is crazy. yall would legit see someone being emotionally manipulated and blame them for being so "weak"
