Lmao, why is everyone hating on JJ? I won't defend him for what he did in the warehouse, but damn, you must be freaking crazy if you think anyone can treat their partner like shit and said partner will stay there. JJ did, in fact, stay, for years, treated like an accessory, but he must have held in there because he did love Leo.
And don't come talk shit about how he should have been more communicative. Hell, you see how Leo never cared. JJ told him stuff, and he never bothered to remember. Even in this chapter you see how JJ asked to go on a trip together but giving him time and attention wasn't on Leo's schedule. Even in ch 1, Leo was angry at JJ for choosing to leave their apartment but JJ did, in fact, tell him about it, he just didn't care. And when your partner doesn't care, and when your problems and ideas become troublesome for them, maybe because you want to stay with them you start to speak up less, because you grow tired of being ignored even when you do talk.
You just realize one day that where you are with that person you love, is not good for you, and you decide /you/ are more important than the love you have for them.
