I mean, the entire chapter I was like; man put some boundaries on this shit, like it's inexcusable for him to act that way. The girl is just too clingy and he just doesn't know how to say no. It would be a great plot device if there was a rift caused by him putting boundaries in a strict manner that makes her feel sad, that would be interesting and would make for a nice change of pace, because it's starting to feel a little too repetitive.
