So far I love this story. It's truely an "Ordinary Relationship", and I am loving it. I read through the comments. Everyones taking sides, saying ML will go nuts and ruin everything for MC if he finds out. Thats purely an assumption. As far as depicting what he did as abuse, well yea it is a form of it. However he appeared to immediately apologize. I can't blame him, he's watching his lover spiral and keep things from him. As for trauma, I call bs, MC is more physical than the ML. At no point have we seen ML hit or get physically violent with MC directly, yet we have seen ML do so. Yea he's a smaller guy and ML appears to take it like a champ, but it still happens. Honestly, both of these things are normal. Maybe in future generations as we learn to over come emotional stigmas we might see stuff like that disapear and see more communication. But thats my two cents. Only bad guy I am seeing is the Client. Hope ML kicks him in the D***....
