Honestly both of them need to. It seems like ML isn’t in sex work because he enjoys it, it seems like he’s coping hard due to something that happened in his childhood which is concerning to say the least. And that anger of his is going to cause relationship instability.
As for MC, he needs to stay away from ML for a while and maybe not get back together unless something changes or compromises are made. He can’t get back with ML if he won’t accept the work ML does.
I agree with what you said about different points in life and different struggles. Well said.
I have more issues with the ML working for the brother knowing what MC went through. Ik MC went back on his words but clearly it’s influenced by his brother’s involvement. They should’ve and could’ve talked it out but ML freaked the fuck out. It’s obvious that ML has always ran from his problems; from his sister (although to his credit, we don’t know what happened) to every single one of his partner’s jealousy. Although I’ll admit that I’m biased bc I’ve never really liked ML, he’s too hard to read and it makes me doubt his actions. Like, MC’s not the only one who doubts that ML likes me, I’m also not convinced- esp not NOW
I honestly really loved the dynamic between the main couple at the beginning but I feel like the black haired mc needs to sort things out with himself before running after the blonde mc.
They both seem to be a different points in the their life and are going through completely different struggles with different thought processes. I ultimately hope that they end up together but there’s a very long way to go until then.
