I love all of the dialogue your SMAU has spurred! Throwing some pennies in the opinion fountain. I’m a firm believer that intent, action, and ownership are crucial to evaluate in a relationship conflict - especially a major one. Iwa seems to be cognizant that his intentions were not malicious and he genuinely loves MC, BUT he also accepts that his actions were immensely ignorant, a tad selfish, and incredibly harmful to his existing relationship. He knows he should’ve come clean sooner AND he is openly taking ownership and responsibility for the pain caused. Owning the hurt he inflicted is something he’ll have to carry moving forward and that’s heavy. I still think MC needs to end the relationship (because we can forgive, but we DON’T forget, honey) because everyone deserves to be in a relationship built on trust. Doubt is a fickle fiend and she doesn’t deserve to constantly wonder if that trust will be broken again. Self respect and self love first, queens. I am so curious to see how this all ends! Sending positive energy your way no matter the outcome of your masterpiece. 💕
absolutely!! forgive, but never forget. iwa does deserve some credit for coming clean with his actions. does that make it okay? no. and to be fair, he had to be pushed into a corner before it was finally forced out of him.
but he took it upon himself to share everything with y/n from the time the suspicions began going around, instead of still trying to conceal some of the truth. it doesn’t mean we can believe him word for word, he still has to redeem himself and make things right.
thank you tremendously for your insight!! 💘
