but it doesnt mean, Sage isnt ready for relationship? she is damaged now. she need time for healing the wound. find honest and thrust in friends (well Quinn betray her too so it will be hard, but she dont know it) i think, the new bf dont want cheat on her for harm her. (what asshole join in a relationship just for cheating) he cheat on her for his own lust. i see, for Sage it is hurt more, because it is second time. so kind of kick to the wound. but i think, blaming the new bf for chad mistake what damaged Sage, isnt fair to the new guy (i speak not about exactly mc, i imagine a random faceless bf) yes, he would be an 10/10 asshole for cheating, but not 12/10. first he should break with her and sleep with other only after breaking. that would be correct to Sage.
I'll be honest with you, I don't understand your argument at all - I don't know if English isn't your first language, or if you're in a rush or what, but that's a bit of word salad for me, sorry. I'm genuinely not trying to cause offence, I'm only explaining that it's more the wording here that I don't understand fully, as I can't put together what you're trying to get across!
For my part on the made-up asshole scale, there's no putting blame on Chad, or on Sage, or on a random faceless new BF. All I'm saying is you're a 10-point asshole if you cheat on Sage, but you're a 12-point asshole if you cheat on Sage after knowing that she has already been hurt by someone cheating on her. It's adding an extra level of assholery to what you are doing. In another example, cheating is 10 points, fucking your GF's mom (especially while she is still married) is 5 points, so you're a 15-point asshole if you cheat on Sage with Jade. It's all about how fucked up your behaviour is.
I'm pretty sure no one is suggesting MC would cheat on Sage with the specific intention of hurting her, but if you know
from experience how much she will be hurt by it, and you still do it anyway, that makes you more of an asshole than you would be just for cheating.
