I'll try to be coherent, I've been doing excessive thinky-thoughts about this SL lately (as has everyone else I'm sure).
So, like I said on YT, I'm not entirely convinced that Marc DOES know about Roman's family. In fact, I think it sort of points in the other direction... as a caring boyfriend, would he really have pressured Roman to come out knowing about Roman's history? I can see Marc trying to gently push Roman out of the closet in order to help him deal with his self-acceptance and esteem issues... except that so far Show has only told us that the reason Marc pressured him (and eventually left) was because he didn't want to hide their relationship. Therefore, I really honestly hope Marc DOESN'T know. Because if he does, it paints a much less pretty picture of RoMarc's relationship.
Here's why: I can't really get behind the idea of Marc knowing how incredibly hard and painful Roman's history with his family/father is and still insisting that Roman come out in spite of Roman's obvious discomfort with doing so. I understand the incredible frustration that someone must have living in hiding like that, especially someone who has already made the decision not to do that. IDK, I'm having a hard time getting the words out here... basically to me, it feels very overbearing and controlling on Marc's part. I mean, obviously he didn't FORCE Roman out of the closet, but holding it over their relationship when he knows how hard it is for Roman feels really icky to me.
I've gotten weird vibes like that from Marc every so often though. I don't by any means feel like Roman's all helpless and innocent and blah, but I have gotten this impression sometimes that their relationship isn't (and back then wasn't) very healthy. And maybe that's the reason he's getting to Roman and causing this behavior in Roman (the in turns almost gleeful abandon and wracking guilt)... it even kind of explains how Roman can be clinging to Deniz before he leaves for NY and then making out with Marc the next morning. I feel an obsessive controlling vibe here.
Or maybe I'm just projecting something and it'll turn out Marc never knew, thus negating my whole argument ;D I really kind of hope so, because I like to like Marc.
