I can kinda understand his approach from the spoilers i have read in his past life he was this toxic person and in which led to his lover killing himself and he feels the guilt from this and is trying to right his wrongs and in so he thinks separting from the mc is best bt at this point the mc is already attached and is or maybe in love with the ml and the ml doesn't know which hurts the mc ....inshort this is going to be a cycle and they need to really communicate with each other about their feelings and stop second guessing
I also felt hurt by that bt love it's not what you think
