This teared me up quite a bit. Sometimes guys just doesn't know how to act when someone breaks down in front of them.
Had something similar happened in my life some 2 years ago in a relationship I had. Where I broke down and asked to break up since I'm not okay. And he just said okay. Nothing much else.
Guys really should show vulnerability and tell their feelings. It's frustrating when you're already holding yourself bare and the other person wouldn't even open up to you. 😞 I get where Harsen is coming from too but it was a good time for him to have answered her questions she held onto these years. Like the "Why did you marry me?" question was something she held onto. Ever since she was proposed to. That's what? Since she was 16? So at least 19 years have passed. But alas.
There're 3 more chapters until I'm caught up so I think I'll still read it. Haha. I might stop if my heart can't take it. 😅
