People defended it as a joke last time so I knew that's what I'd wake up to, and for me just as it wasn't funny the first time it's not funny the second time either. In my opinion it's a really strange conclusion for Aya to jump to joke or not, and I really hope this won't become a running bit where we see it a 3rd and even 5th time. That's my opinion and if people find it funny or are indifferent about it that's also fair, for me it's going to annoy me every time it happens though lol

Aya, honey, I love you but you really need to walk me through your thought process, because I have no idea how you'd arrive to this conclusion.

It's definitely valid, not finding the joke funny; it's not all that funny to me either. I just don't think there's much need to look into those joke lines more deeply as of yet. It's the same anywhere else the same joke has popped up in other romance manga and wasn't implying some issue with those relationships. If something changes in future chapters, then maybe but right now it just seems innocuous and comedic. Maybe the joke doesn't read well across cultures. As Appstore said in their comment, it's definitely one I've seen in a few manga with perfectly healthy relationships; so the authors are definitely pulling it from somewhere.

I'm not looking at it deeply or even expecting it to be deeper than a passing punchline, I just don't like it and don't want it to be a running bit one way or another.

I don't mean you specifically. That part was talking about some of the other comments before and that we continue to see now that are reading more into it and the author. I did say I had no problem with your comment or what you were saying and partially agreed with you, at the beginning of my response.

That makes sense, I didn't mean to come across as rude only that I wasn't 100% sure so I wanted to clarify on my end in regard to how deeply I'm looking at the cheating aspect.
