Yeah, I mean I guess if we're going to do a comparison, rapes and abuse is much worst then what this MC is doing. It doesn't justify the facts that he's still in facts a piece of shit, but if we're going to argue about what's worst, then abuse, rape, and the like is so so much worst.
It's just that cheating is prominent in our country, it's so normalised to see a men in his 20+ with a wife and family just casually sexting other woman.
Honestly I came in this site to escape from reality, and cheating is too close to the reality I live in, so reading a story about cheating really brings me back to the reality that I'm loving in. And I think that's why most people are very triggered by this story.
Rapes and Abuse isn't AS common as cheating, atleast in terms of my country. Cheating is a common thing to see and a common thing that people do, so seeing a cheating story only brings back the reality that we try to avoid, which is the reason why some read in the first place, to escape from a reality.
Maybe for some, this story just hits too close to what they want to avoid about from reality, and what they avoid in themselves.
