The right path_on my soap box

I get really bothered when a character in a yaoi manga refuse to be in a relationship with someone they love because they want them to have 'normal happiness' and 'stay on the right path'. I always think 'who the hell are you to decide what is right and normal for someone else?' I also think that 1: the character who refuse to be in the relationship is a coward and is just finding a self-righteous reason to prevent themselves from taking a chance for fear of being hurt. 2: they must hate their own sexuality on some level to think the other won't find happiness if they are with a guy.

    well it´s not just yaoi/gays ther are straight people too who decide that their partner should have a better life without them. hell that´s the reason i broke off with my 5yr bf he wanted a normal family life with kids and i knew i can´t give that to him. so it´s not just yaoi. it´s about putting the other person´s happiness above urs.

    Well you can't blame them if they had some past experiences that hurt them to the point of doubting if the other person will never want to have a family or regret being in a gay relationship and leave ( ̄∇ ̄")

    Right, it's like when A says "i can't give you babies/a family" to B, when in fact, B can't do that for A either.
    It also reminds me of the "I don't deserve you," line when couples break up, like who are you tell me anything? I chose you. You can't decide for me.
