Does anyone know what the saying “the relationship can neither god back to fish nor fowl” mean? Im inferring it means the relationship can’t go back to how it was but I was wanting a more in depth explanation.
The saying is 'it's neither fish nor foul', basically its not one or the other, not something fitting any category under discussion. For example, They felt he was neither fish nor fowl—not qualified to lead the department, yet not appropriate to work as a staff member either .
I can see why some people are upset, I’m also the stubborn type that thinks the other person should reach out first especially if they were in the wrong. But the reality is even if the other person was wrong they’re usually afraid you’ll want nothing to do with them or you’re still mad or whatever. You just have to be the bigger person sometimes if you really love someone. Do you love that person more than their mistakes? Then there’s your answer.
The ending wasn’t enough to sate my rage
Rage for what?
Oh the seme had me PISSED. He went ahead and made his own assumptions about the uke, never communicated, and hurt him for years to come by bringing his partners around. If I was the uke as much as I loved him I wouldn’t date him. I hate the making them jealous by fooling around with others trope
OHHH yeah that’s totally real, I hate the trope where they misunderstand then just run away… like bro… ask? And I agree, you’re not gonna convince him you’re still into him by bringing one time flings and being like “you and I had a different relationship than me and these dudes” (that’s how I interpreted it) like bro stfu
She keeps saying it’s her own fault for never realizing but how was she supposed to know with the way he acted? Especially when he was talking to Natalia, what could possibly be the misunderstanding, it seems very cut and dry.
I’m at chapter 6 and I’m genuinely so confused
I thought I was the only one. It feels all over the place
I mean you can infer everything that happens but still
I wish they expanded more on Mahiro’s relationship with his parents and he stood up to them. It hurts even more because it’s like looking into a mirror. Your parent’s anxieties and their issues that they project on you can screw up your childhood and your whole life if you let it. It took me a long time to even start questioning who I am or who I wanna be. If you’re reading this it’s never too late to break out of the box people put you in; friends, parents, society, whoever. If you’re a parent or want to be one acknowledge your mistakes, if you’re going to ask for the grace of forgiveness for making them then you need to own up to them first. I hope there’s a volume two bc Shuu seems to have a story with family as well. Anyways that’s the end of my rant i kind of hope no one reads this lmao
I think the way the author resolved it is fairly realistic (in the extra). There's no use "standing up to" parents like that. Sometimes the best thing you can do is realize that they're flawed people and just separate yourself from their influence and surround yourself with people who value you. And then, hopefully, by being independent, you can show them how capable you actually are.
