@Romy Oliax yess! i don't like the direction this is going. author wants us feeling bad for ml and rooting for them to talk it out. but that isn't enough, he needs redemption arc and chasing arc, after all the chasing and trying and redemption and begging mc had, which i think he didn't need to do all that, it's ml' turn. Either way, i don't like some people babying ml, just because he had unfortunate circumstances and trauma, and he is obviously trying to proove to himself he doesn't love him just so he doesn't,,hurt him" while hurting him more like this. He could easily explain his situations and break up like normal person inna few sentences, but he chose to act like he doesn't know mc entirely and acting like a di/ck. But i think they will just have one or few conversations and what ml did will be swept under the rug under the pretence of his trauma, while mc accomodates him again, like a child
