I understand both of them but I feel more sympathetic towards the seme. I'd get so hurt if I did all my best to help my lover but hear from them that I'm the reason they're depressed. It's not like the seme is boasting about being the provider. The reason why he lied is so that the uke wouldn't feel bad /inferior. He's actually being mindful of uke's feelings and at the same time wanting to help him. The uke is understandable too. I'd feel so small being financially dependent. But he should've explained it to the seme so he'd understand. They both hid things from each other so here we are. They just need to communicate properly. Ultimately, this is that shitty friend's fault. I hope the seme would stop being friends with that nosy bitch.
I forgot why I dropped this. Now, I remembered. Why'd they have to add that part
? Imagine if it was the ml who did that, ppl would hate more
