Thanks for the chapter.

I mean yeah I get it, understandable but his timing is fucking awful; he has literally just overheard her having a conversation where it was made clear her bloodline is a sensitive topic AND he acknowledged to her that he knows it's a topic she doesn't want others to know about.

tbf so far doesn't seem like he's keeping secrets and he is being open about personal stuff like his communication issues

 

[Goldis]

Nice play on MC, mii-chan should know he hate being left alone didn't he say so

Keeping secret about yourself that he should know, is the same as being left alone

 

[Angelonius]

Tell him the truth first, then marry him. Do it.

On one hand, he's right. Going further than this while keeping a secret from each other can lead to a lot of problems. But, leveraging on the situation to force a revelation from her is also kind of a jerk, you know?

Yes, and that problem is called "cucking".

the whole dialectic in the comments is basically "oh no, he's coercing/manipulating her, that's bad" vs "no, he's just 'setting boundaries'". both are wrong. the term "setting boundaries" is always equivocal and dishonest, trying to frame something as neutral or equal which is always unequal.

he's coercing her, pushing her to submit not just to this demand, but to future ones, and to proactively please him. but that's good. it's objectively what sexuality is all about between a man and a woman. it's the path of happiness for both.

He's completely right. She wants to be romantic with him, but the honestly has to be a two way street. He needs to know everything about her before committing to anything. Same goes with from him to her.

If someone hands you a 1200 page contract and asks you to "JUST SIGN IT BRUH", you are going to take said contract to a lawyer to vet it first. You don't want to be put into a situation where you cannot get out of.

I can understand that the bluntness is what is a major turn off, where you would have this information slowly handed to you over time, but she wants to just jump to the finish line with the hopes of telling him later/not at all. It doesn't work like that, sorry

But asking to know about the other person is fair. This is marriage we're talking about. And there are simply just things people can't tolerate (something you shouldn't compromise for), so "setting boundaries" is not dishonest. On the contrary, silently putting up with something you absolutely can't stand is naive and dishonest.

It's not really coercive, because she can just refuse. She doesn't get her desired relationship, but if being able to keep secrets is something absolute to her, then there's nothing anyone can do about that. She would be giving up her privacy after all. The guy shouldn't put up with it either, because he would constantly have to doubt her. By then, they would be simply incompatible. They don't have to try to meet midway.
