Been reading the older bcb chapters and...no yeah, Mike absolutely did not give a shit about Lucy's violence. So much that he often provoked her, knowing she'd kick his ass. Hell, that was the Lucy he fell in love with...
His reaction in December really was so unfair. He only saw problem with it once Sandy did, which would have been fine, but not once did he try to have a normal conversation with Lucy. Just said he's gonna leave her, isolate her from all their friends, and that no one could love her for who she is...first try (side note: the way he knows she thinks everyone just wants her for her body, and saw that as something to hate her for, made me wanna grab him by the neck😭)
The mature thing to do woulda been to just go "hey, i've been thinking this thing we got going on might not be so healthy", but, unfortunately, i'm talking about teenagers.
