I agree! I hope the scene will go bad and Ash will realise what an asshole he is
i fully agree with you, and i don’t understand why more people aren’t. ash isn’t communicating with lyle about what he’s gonna do, instead shoving toys instead of him with no prior warning? and lyle is even worse at communicating, esp bc of his upbringing, never expresses anything he’s concerned about so obviously he’s not gonna say anything about what ash is doing bc he’s too scared ash will leave him. i really hate these past two chapters, bc ash is just doing as he pleases all over something as ridiculous as lyle keeping a little secret from him
honestly, I can usually handle anything from rape to murder and gore and stuff like that but...
as a very timid person myself who is also scared of rejection and speaking my mind as well as expressing my feelings out loud I got sexually abused in my past relationships because of it... and Ash using a "safe word" knowing FULLY WELL that Lyle can't bring himself to say it... does not sit well with me.
I love them both so much but something about that bit makes me hella uncomfortable :(
