As a story this was pretty interesting the characters felt realistic
But most of the story I was pissed with Alex
Ok vol 1 okay Cole isn’t mentally healthy and minus the gun stuff everything else was standard insecurity rooted self sabotage and like yes, the things he said like telling him if he’s not enough he can go be with girls too,,, sure it’d feel outta nowhere and hurtful to hear from a partner but then after that it should’ve gotten into Alex that Cole is insanely insecure and he wasn’t saying that as a rejection of Alex but because he cant imagine beign happy and having everything he wants so he feels like he can and should settle for less, like being Alex’s second etc, he should’ve gotten how insanely insecure he is and yet on a supposedly couples trip knowing Lily made Cole uncomfortable he still invited her to hang out with them the entire trip? Knowing Cole is gay and couldn’t possibly want her kissing him he didn’t recognize it as assault, didn’t pull her away from him and stop hanging out with her? Kept her around enough for her to fuck with both their minds? Allowed her to straddle him?? Like are you kidding me? He’s feeling offended Cole would possibly believe he’d cheat on him but he’s letting things go this far?…. And it’s not about Cole not trusting Alex in his mind and his worst case fears occupying his thoughts, and yet you go and trust the words of this KNOWN TO BE MALICIOUS woman over Cole’s words from his own mouth? And what’s the reason youre suddenly acting all different and distant with him after the trip? What the FUCK did Cole do NOW? If he didn’t believe you’d cheat before then acting all distant and suspicious after spending time with her while Cole slept I wouldn’t blame Cole for NOW actually thinking something happened..
Even in the beginning he didn’t give a shit about what Cole thinks and feels, bro is acting like Cole trying to hide their relationship is just him not taking them dating seriously or smth, like bro have you forgotten you’re in a gay relationship among a homophobic society??? How self centered are you? Cole has been gay his whole life and faced homophobic bullying before college but Alex doesn’t even take a second to put himself in Cole’s shoes to get that, not even talking about trying to understand his insecurities and anxiety and yet had the nerve to pretend Cole was wrong to feel like they’d be nothing more than fuck buddies, had the audacity to act like he genuinely wants a sincere relationship with Cole without for a second tryna see the world through his eyes
And then bravo you go say all that romantic shit about Cole to that woman about how “every time you see him you fall in love over again” when it should be Cole you should be saying all that mushy stuff to…. MAYBE IF YOU WERE SAYING ALL THAT CRAP AND TALKING TO HIM AND REASSURING HIM HOWEVER MUCH HE NEEDS THEN HIS FEARS WOULD CALM DOWN BUT NO YOU SERE SIMPLY ANNOYED AT HIM FOR BEING INSECURE AND ANXIOUS AND TAKING IT PERSONALLY, for some on who claimed to be that insanely in love with him, it took an awful little amount of the inconvenience to reassure him to check out of the relationship
Vol 2 not much to discuss Cole was a shit person with the cheating and weighing options and leaving alex’s friend unanswered as a “future option”, this one can’t even really be explained or excused with the insecurity that’s a choice he made, not much to discuss cheating bad,.. but then in the end alex is shit again for using violence against him and choking him as some fucked up “everyone left me before, but I’m testing you with violence if you wouldn’t leave me even after that or not, but haha don’t worry I won’t kill you cause it’d be a waste and I’d have to date another girl who’d eventually leave me again, you’re the only fucked uo person that wouldn’t ever leave me so I’ll keep you”. . .
Vol 3 again Cole is shit for getting excited at the thought of being liked by others (cafe worker, boss etc idk) like why are u excited at the thought of someone else liking u when you got a bf of 3 years, but then again alex acts like he sees their relationship having a future but in action doesn’t act like it and asks for Cole’s opinion on this major thing when he was never intending to consider his opinion and he already made up his mind, he really acts like he’s frustrated with Cole’s inferiority complex when he’s enjoying his superiority complex
Like minus the gun stuff and cheating i honestly woudlnt blame Cole going insane at Alex’s hands, they’d both be better off broken up ToT
