I am a bit confused. Was Yuri actually cheating or was it just some societal pressure thing where she forced herself with a guy so they could be "normal"? That's not much better, but the whole situation with Yuri getting married wasn't explained at all, is it possible she wasn't even with a guy and it was just a messed up way to give up on Nanako?
I always understand it like that. Yuri got call from her mother, complaining about her not getting married. Later on, or even before she called, she probably already organized this whole marriage for Yuri. Yuri came home and maybe even really spend time with this potential husband. She loved Nanako, but as adult, she understood that same sex relationship is not welcomed and marring into stable household is the reasonable thing to do. So she gave up into the pressure and decided to break up with the Nanako. Half what she told her was true, but half were just lies, so Nanako will give up. Saying she wants to marriage was the biggest one. Then after going through with that, she couldn't stop thinking about Nanako and in the end realized that there is no way, she will be happy by doing this, so she rushed to Nanako's house first thing in the morning, to take it all back. Since Nanako was out all night, there was no one in apartment (remember that Yuri gave away her key to Nanako) so she just sat her crying and waiting for Nanako, hoping it isn't too late for them.
That is why I never got angry at Yuri's actions and was actually happy how it turned out. This whole drama was all because of social pressure bullshit, but since Yuri ultimately decided to screw it, it was a perfect happy ending.
Had exactly the same Interpretation.

Wow this was kinda amazing, and the guy character was really sympathetic and supportive. Him normalizing Nanako's feelings to her was pretty nice, and how he didn't force her into anything and respected her wishes was really good too.
Yes, I really liked him. It was breath of fresh air to see that kind of character in manga. He was nice and understanding and I really liked how he was the one trying to convince Nanako that there is nothing wrong with her. I also liked the way her (trying) having sex with him shows how you can't just force yourself to enjoy something you don't enjoy.
Yeah, i thought the same, he's a really good dude.
Some guys wouldn't stop there.
It's a really good Story, i like this a lot.
Even though the Tags scared me out before.
