This made me cry, no lies, I’m really crying. I just don’t understand how he can go back and put on a smile and act like nothing happened.

Ya that’s completely valid, I can barely consume content where the rapist has consequences or is considered the bad guy, but this type of stuff where its like let’s gaslight the mc, probably never address the rape or use it as an excuse for the rapist to feel empathy and then start to date the mc with no consequences or no memory of it.....um yikes
No amount of therapy will help them… the therapists will probably seek therapy for themselves.
