soooo, there was cheating which i felt is normal in a relationship especially when it's been so long there'll definitely be some apprehension once in a while. As for the abuse, they are both men and men hit like crazy when they are mad I've seen my friends fight before and they gave each other bloody noses. So I'm pretty ok with this since it encapsulates real life pretty well.

I don't know what kind of relationships you've heard off or been in or what kind of fucked up reality world you're living it, but it is NOT normal to cheat. Just because it happens a lot, does not mean it's okay enough to be called normal. You commit yourself to a person, which is essentially a promise. Do you go around breaking promises or think it's okay to break promises? What a shit friend and person you'd be if that's the case. No one with a sane mind would think cheating is normal.
And it's also not okay to hit your partner and it is not justified just because they're men. Before they're men, they're humans who can feel pain too (although, I'd be lying if I said I did not enjoy Natsuki being hit after what he'd done, his boyfriend still took it way too far)

I do agree with some of your views on the matter but if it happens a lot, the frequency is high and if that's the case you could consider it as being 'normal' according to definitions.
Unfortunately, i'm not a shit person and i've never condoned cheating in my comment either. What I am implying is that people DO cheat and instead of reading countless yaoi where things are always ending happily ever after the reality is people do commit infidelity. So there's more aspects of a 'real life' situation in this particular yaoi plot however, happily ever afters do occur as well irl.
Hitting someone for cheating is without doubt a natural reaction; of course they would want to teach someone who cheated a lesson. I personally don't think that it was taken too far because it was a one off thing and the story ended happily.
Thank you for giving your wonderfully insightful comment on how bad of a person I am and assuming I don't have an ounce of morality. I will not stoop as low as to reply with an ad hominem response but would like to say that just because someone else has a supposed differing view on a topic, you can respond without having to comment on my person.
Now, good day to you too.

I'll teach you something you are apparently completely ignorant about.
''Normal'' is not something that ''happens a lot''. There are a lot of people with cancer. Do you tell them it's normal to have cancer? People getting raped happens a lot. Do you tell them it's normal to be raped? There are a lot of people who get discriminated. Do you tell them it's normal to be discriminated? These are extreme examples, but they happen a lot and if we follow your warped definition of normal being: ''it happens a lot, the frequency is high'' you are entering that scope.
By normalizing cheating you are condoning it. What is normal is something we as a people accept; condone. It's normal to ''have a cold'' is something we have normalized not because it happens a lot, but because we as a people understand and accept it as a part of us. It is what we consider reasonable or okay and therefore normal. It is not normal to be raped or discriminated, though IT HAPPENS A LOT, because we as a people do not consider it reasonable nor okay.
Normal is defined by us humans. What is normal now, was not normal in the past exactly because we, as a people, are the ones who define what is normal. It changes by time, it changes by place and it changes based on what we as a people decide as a whole. If you call something like cheating ''normal'' you are entering a dangerous scope in which you are condoning an action that should never be condoned. What happens a lot is NOT the same as it being normal. Understand that.
And it is especially because you have voiced your opinion, that is a part of your beliefs and thus you as a person, that I have comment on you as a person. Your opinions directly align with who you are.
BTW-- he didn't simply hit him (as though it was a single punch or two). He beat the living shit out of him. They are not the same thing.

I see, yet again, i am commenting on the frequency of the matter and not my take on it. I have not explicitly condoned it either, yet i would like to address my first comment where I've stated that it will most likely occur when someone is in a relationship for a long time and that i have experienced with the people around me. This does NOT mean in any way that I feel that cheating is ever something anyone should do.
Furthermore, i simply do not agree that it defines me as a person. In fact, many shouldn't jump to a single conclusion without knowing the perspective or experience an individual had. Stating that it is 'normal' can also imply that somebody has experienced a particular event that took place in their environment for numerous amounts of times and thus formed the above mentioned opinion on it. For that, i agree it is a mistake on my part for not carefully selecting my words when commenting thus rubbing you the wrong way
On the topic of violence. Maybe you do not come from an area or culture where physical 'punishment' is ubiquitous. It is again a "norm" in my part of the world where if someone does something gravely wrong they get the crap beaten out of them, which is a punishment I deem fitting for the MC. It is excessive I must say but since the author has depicted it in such a way you could say they condone such an act as well according to what you have been driving at.
At the end of the day it is a fictional story with parallels that can be drawn to real life occurrences which is what I am pleased with as the author is attempting a plot that sheds a different light on the subject of a gay relationship.
Nevertheless, what I 'know' differs very much from what i 'think'. My opinion on the matter of cheating in society does not directly relate to my character or morals. I can say something is normal with added context like I did in the first comment yet condone it, Similar is the vice that is Smoking. Smoking is a common occurrence; the context -"especially when a country develops further" thus it is a norm according to definitions.
In reality, I dislike it when people smoke and will go no where near cigarettes.
I acknowledge the thought and time you have spent trying to articulate your opinion and will be more wary when bringing across my views on sensitive topics. Unfortunately, there is no way i can refine my comment here. I am pleased with the discussion for I now understand your stance on my evaluation, yet I also anticipate that my explanation has widened your horizons when it comes to interpreting my comment.
Lastly, to spell things out if you were wondering, those who cheat can rot in hell.
This is so cute i'm literally screaming inside. I died... from cuteness
