...It's not just the way a 'trained psychologist' would urge them to react - it's how most sane people [who don't follow the 'it must be your fault!' philosophy] would react.

Look, you have to remember that you gave us almost nothing to go on about the story's plot, and you asked 'Is this problematic?' I answered, and I explained why. That's it. I wasn't trying to convince you to write your story another way, but I also wasn't going to sugar coat the reasons that I saw. I apologize if it came off like I was - I admit, having been a survivor of some fairly intense abuse I do have some very strong views on the matter.

However, like I said in my last post - I'm not saying 'Don't write it' - I was answer you're question, and explaining why.

No no! Your opinions are very good and appreciate it, but I just wanted to emphasize that, you know, the message was really not even a factor in the story, the situation was, so I was just wondering how far it "too far." Like, what the line would be between understandable but not-really-healthy reactions that most people would have, and what's skeevy creepy shit.

I wanted to kind of bring up the various modifiers to the situation so I could ask questions in order to get your opinion, and then ask if the opinion would change because of this plot device or that plot device, so that I could understand what plot devices would make a difference, and which ones would be "nope, same thing". I just...I dunno, I really want all the different considerations to be raised so that I can take them into account while writing the fic so I don't accidentally imply something I didn't want to. I wasn't arguing with you, I just wanted to ask more questions and do more exploration, I guess, so that I could get someone else's perspective on how their perception of the situation would change.

da

you could always make the character doubt himself by having other characters point out how creepy it is and try to help only to be denied by the abused character

like, get into some seriously psychological mindfuck with the reader, so that they can see into the abused character's mind, but also get that vibe that "something ain't right here"

you have a beta-reader of some sort, right? ask them if you're doing it right when you enter the "something ain't right here" factor
