I read in an above post that says Sigma X has addressed readers' concerns is trying to handle it carefully,

but this still sends a tingle through my spine. A supportive partner helping you in discovering yourself sexually is a fucking blessing, but this comes off like she and Teej were pushing him out of the closet, and it creeps me out. I honestly thought Teej was gonna blackmail Mike after taking that photo and that was going to be a part of the drama and tension, but I'm relieved to see it didn't go down that road. I mean, most stories need drama or a suffering protagonist, but it still felt manipulative on her part.
Cheating errodes trust, but conspiring to get your partner to cheat also errodes trust. She could have approached the issue much more tactfully, but instead it seems she set him up and caused him feel immense guilt which was unnecessary.
The set up could have been all Teej's idea and then he just told her after the fact, but if she played a role then it's pretty damn shady of her. I just rubbed me the wrong way. It wouldn't creep me out so much if Mike just had sex with Diamond on his own and then confessed to her because at least it would be all on him to take responsibility without any wrongdoing on her part.
Sorry for the wall of text, but this is the kind of fridge logic that sticks in my mind like those seeds that stick to clothes. I know it's porn but even porn can have artistic merit.
TL;DR if she set that up, it's creepy
Edit: I feel I should mention I'm bi and would feel very betrayed if my partner manipulated me like this.
I love the story otherwise, and hope he does get an arrangement where they will stay together and he can keep fucking Diamond, but it feels like her conniving will be an ingored plot-hole by everyone else (IF she was actually behind it)
