Yeah, im also a bit worried about the husband angle, but ill try to be optimistic. Disregarding that issue, i really liked that chapter. The last page especially, though that depends on if they were kissing there or not. I think itd be a bit more emotional if they were just hugging there, but you cant really see their faces. ^^
Since multiple people asked me to continue to relate my experiences, i guess ill do that when appropiate. I actually cut something out of my last post because i thought i should stop, so ill just repost it now. Its also coincedentally a bit relevant to the current chapter i think. ^^
The thing about living together and having no other place to stay WHILE you are figuring out these feelings is something that is a bit problematic to me. No i mentioned that me and my sister grew up together, but our feelings only really became apparent after (from my perspective at least, she told me she had felt like that for a while, which is actually one of the reasons why) she moved out.
We started dating a bit later, but she was very insistent that i could only move in with her if it was absolutely clear without a doubt that this relationship was going to last. So we waited about three years, during which we were dating pretty much like a regular couple, with occasional sleepovers at most, until we had gone through both very good and very bad times, had fights, made up, etc. I dont think it wouldve been a great idea to try being together while we still both lived with our parents, because there is just no way out should things go bad one way or another.
Especially in this situation. Lets say one of two things happen: Either the mom realizes she really doesnt love her daughter that way and never will, or the mom actually comes around and Asuka finds out that it was just a flight of fancy or something.
In both of these situations, if Asuka was older and had her own place, then once could try to distance themselves for a while, and then slowly work on repairing the platonic relationship bit by bit. Itd take a long time, but itd def be possible. On the other hand, as it is now, this would just make the current living situation unbearable for both parties. Also, couple fighting, as rare as it was, was way more intense in our early days when it actually happened, and i dont think our relationship would have survived if we didnt have seperate living arrangements to cool off and think things through on our own.
So yeah, i rambled way too much this time, ill try to keep this stuff shorter in the future haha.
