Chock Swap

@Feronen: I've had girlfriends cheat on me. I would say that everyone involved handled the situations rationally. Was there some shock, and a bit of screaming from both parties? Sure. But nothing that would fall in the criminal category.

Jealousy IS bad, and no, you don't have the right to "take out your anger" on anybody. The very definition of a manchild is someone without the ability to control himself and behave as expected of an adult. The fact that "it's never happened to him before" doesn't make one's abusive manchild-actions magically seem more mature. Does being an abusive manchild in a single moment mean a guy can't grow up eventually? No. But the MC here is acting like one in the chapter, and not everyone goes through such a phase.

NOTE: I don't think partner rape is okay, either, but understand that no one who hasn't experienced this kind of scenario is capable of handling it rationally the first time they go through it. Automatically labeling someone as an abusive manchild (or even a possessive bitch if they're a female acting the same way) is just inherently ignorant of anthropology and psychology.

First off, kek.

Second off, have you ever experienced the emotional trauma of having a significant other NTRed from you? Speaking as someone who has, you don't act rationally when shit like this happens. Especially when the basis of your nurture teaches you loyalty > everything else, and then it's blended into your nature as a male primate where your instincts tell your to secure your dominance as the primary mate.

Couple all of this with the fact that assholes in society propagate this concept that 'jealousy is bad and you should feel bad' mentality and the fact that taking out your anger on the other male that's challenging you as primary mate results in jail time, and you wind up with a pretty fucked up world view and literally no coping methods or strategies to help you work out how to react to a scenario like this.
