It's always interesting to me how each of the males (except the ML) are portrayed negatively in very different yet similar fashions.
Construction dude, the dad and this dude all seem to be possessive, overprotective and unable to communicate or understand her feelings. Their conflicts raise from a lack of understanding and then attempt to undermine the scenario with brute force. They disregard the FL's feelings and thoughts and instead strive for their ideal outcome. It's a really cool approach because they come off as assholes(which they sometimes are) yet aren't malicious, trying to help the FL.
I personally think it comes across as well written and entertaining. I could draw parallels to "toxic masculinity" but I don't think that was the authors goal. Instead to show that if you look too far ahead you can't see the person in front of you.
