The hypocrisy of Brian thinking Vic was reckless in not using a condom, is almost comical. Brian, didn't use a condom? Is this what Justin is upset about? Because it should be. Talk about being reckless.
And Brian just doesn't have a clue why Mel said what she said to Justin, and what Justin is upset about. He really is self centered, and not in a positive life affirming way.
Mel pities Justin. I wonder how that must make Justin feel? Of course, Justin will stay with Brian. Talk about enabling.
Not liking Brian much at all right now. Nope. And I wonder how long Justin will last? He must like the abuse. Am I the only one who sees this relationship as emotionally abusive?
This chapter really outlines that. All of Justin's thoughts on what he can, and can't do in front of Brian. Afraid to appear vulnerable, always cautious of his moods. Sounds very abusive to me. But then again, Brian grew up with an abusive father, I hear that often, children of abusive parents either become the abuser in their own relationships, or the abused.
Very interesting, angsty, chapter. I'm on pins and needles waiting to see what is going through Justin's mind, and how he'll convince himself he needs to 'be there' for Brian.
