I’m kinda hoping for a part where he’s flirting with some other girl making her jealous

Aw what they skipped her sick arc?
Would have been interesting to see how POV-kun would have handle her being sick and needing his help for once.
I take it that he didn't even go to check on her then unless proven otherwise in future chaps.

Yes I am aware, but I had this tiny hope he would show some initiative to prove her wrong in being a useless bum.
Or at least a chap dedicated to him trying to bring her some medicine would be enough to see if her hinted at mean girl facade would break.
Oh well, I got my hopes up too high, that's on me I admit.

At least a yandere doesn't regularly verbally abuse you, even if she's chosen to be a slave to her obsession.

I think this story is meant to bring extreme dissatisfaction to the readers and give a reality check to the people who see this kind of girls in media and say "I wish I could be in his place😍". It is definitely one of those "Not all romance are good, not all relationships are equal".
If you are getting frustrated from reading this, it's a good sign and it shows you're normal.
If you are getting used to the girl and her abusive words and kind of like it, yeah, you should seek out some help.

Alright, what about tsundere's then? Who verbally, AND physically abuse you all the time, yet people still love them.

People keep misunderstanding her for being abusive, but she is nothing like actual abusers that exist irl.
The gf of this manga is totally non-demanding, will always smile at you, likes you for who you are, while also being able to criticize you for your flaws. She is a fantasy character, not even remotely close to anything realistic.

I love her. We should marry
Are you sure she likes him? I'm not sure. Except a few dates she didn't show a wish to get close to him. He is just an interesting object to observe for her.

For the record, one could also just like a fictional story about a realistically-portrayed abusive relationship without needing help. Even in a "I wish that were me" way; one can have fantasies that would be bad to actually have enacted, and fiction is an obvious easy way to indulge them without actually endangering oneself or others. It's possible to have a bad relationship with fiction for sure, but people can have unhealthy relationships with squeaky-clean children's media; I don't think this is particularly irresponsible. It's also weird to see emotional masochism of all things getting singled out as a fetish to pathologize?
But yeah, that's also just not really the right reading of this anyways. This clearly is not a healthy relationship, and you could argue the constant demeaning is verbally abusive; but more than that, she's enabling the viewpoint character guy. Basically encouraging him not to change or get better because she likes him for the problems she points out. She wants him to stay the person she loves, even though that's absolutely not good for him. That's... not great, and I don't think it's a complete fairy tale, but it's not really the normal controlling, isolating, emotionally manipulating way.
After all, she's continually pointing out these problems (and in this one, 'problems'). Telling him not to fix them, but still pointing them out. That's not the best strategy if you want to manipulate him into continuing the problems; though of course not mutually exclusive, if she just values being able to do the demeaning enough.
I just think it's neat and interesting, and because these people do not exist and I am normal, I don't feel guilty for that interest. I guess being a masochist helps in finding the dialogue entertaining, though I'm not projecting onto Mr. Protagonist Guy here and do try to make my life better.
If you're reading this and it makes you uncomfortable, I'm not going to tell you to stop, do as you like; but like... why? I don't think this is really teaching anything. Maybe I just don't fully appreciate the appeal of reading something that is fascinatingly frustrating or miserable?Wait shit am I not an M

yandere's are portrayed just ridiculous enough, and ironically, so "outta pocket" that it seems more like entertainment. this is on the level of feeling like real life abuse. the carrot and the stick. "i'm the only one who'd ever go out with a loser like you" is something not explicitly said in this story but implicitly felt.
