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.
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.
