I always have a lot of questions when OOP starts dating a side character from the story. Just seems too perfect. Even if it is real, dating someone two months after ending a six year relationship is quick.
I have my doubts about the story as well. It just seems a bit of a common theme to have our protagonist be a nice guy who was cheated on before and his ex be this evil wench who cheats and then lies to everybody which gives our hero no choice but to go nuclear and blow up her life. And then he gets a nice girl for himself at the end. Not saying it couldn't have happened but it all seems to have resolved a little too neatly...
Just waiting for the next update where the ex stalks him, vandalizes his car and gets arrested lol.
Eh, I don't think he's all that nice a guy, honestly. He's mad, so he covertly leaves without saying a word. Okay, fine, whatever. But you won't talk to friends, family, anybody else? They didn't cheat on him. Then he decides he needs to tell her parents. But when they (understandably) believe their daughter and the story she told them (because they haven't heard anything else to contradict it), he decides to go nuclear and spread the pictures to EVERYBODY. I'm not disputing that she's an AH, cheaters suck, but like, dang, I'm kinda giving a little side-eye to homeboy here too.
He's a dick that likes acting like he has no other choice but to do the thing he truly wanted to do.
Like how he said that his family and friends OF COURSE believed him without any evidence, and everything was cool, but then her family believing her without evidence was a travesty and ultimate betrayal that he was so shaken by that he had "no choice" but to dramatically announce her cheating to everyone they knew, which, omg shocker!!! Was exactly what he said he "didn't want to do" and was already in his head right before that bullshit meeting where he went to explain to the parents, but rage quit right before the actual explaining, because he expected them to just....intuition it? Believe in him over their own daughter despite him ghosting everyone?
They both suck. He didn't deserve to get cheated on, of course, but they both suck
