Everyone's gonna hate me for bringing it up again, but I'd greatly appreciate an official confirmation one way or the other to prevent future debates and help in understanding. As written, was Diego's ex actually abusive or not? And is that aspect no longer canon/would change in a potential rewrite? Was the ex clear about his intentions then like he is now? Or is he clear about his intentions in the present after learning he needed to be, not being clear at the time due to thinking it was self explanatory?

It was more of a major miscommunications that led to a toxic situation, both are equally at fault, and both didn't properly handle the situation correctly SPOILERS!!!!!!!! For those who haven't read the story:
From the Diego standpoint Kyrex was very much verbally abusive ,However From the Kyrex standpoint Diego was a stalker who kept harassing him and wouldn't leave him alone also kinda manipulative as kyrexs lost his job thanks to Diego's connection to Tai who is in turn linked to Lukas (Kyrex's employor). All of it is just so messy, as Jay said "Sometimes people just aren't meant to be together" Everyone shares fault
I'm not saying that Diego doesn't hold a share of the blame, but the idea that the fault is equal doesn't sit right by me if that aspect of Diego's testimony is accurate. Most of the people in the server believe the alleged abuse didn't even happen. That people see Diego as equally or even more at fault comes off as victim blaming and justifying abuse to me.
That's a fair point,even though Diego's Testimony had glaring holes in it The fact that Kyrex was said hurtful things tips the scales,most would agree that where he went too far. Going off my personal opinion and experiences I sympathize with both for different reasons,which is why I don't fault Kyrex as harshly as some do. Sometimes communications don't come across as it should and sometimes it does but we ignore the signs.
It can and likely will be adjusted in future rewrites. As for whether he was abusive or not, intent doesn't change that. Kyrex was abusive, even if that was not his specific intent. He got in over his head, failed to communicate and acted out more and more the worse things got. Diego was as much as fault as he was, though he acted in different ways. They were both wrong, and that doesn't excuse either of them.
