movies about two guys who are/were kind of romantically involved but are not good for each other/ hurt each other (or its mainly one hurting the other). The enter an odd arrangment that is not really based on mutual love but they live together and everything is complicated and messy

Azuma Sakutaro is a 38-year-old gay man who is currently unemployed. In the past, he worked as an ace pharmaceutical sales representative, but when his performance began to decline in his mid-thirties, he became increasingly anxious as people around him moved forward with marriage or career changes. Feeling left behind, he eventually reached his mental and physical limits and suddenly resigned. Now he lives at his sister’s house, spending his days sleeping late and going out at night.

One evening at a gay bar, Sakutaro is nearly forced into a hotel by a man he just met. At that moment, he is helped by Kuji Shizuka, a former coworker and rival from his pharmaceutical company days. Eight years earlier, the two had competed as top sales representatives at the same company, and on the day Kuji left the company, they spent a single night together.

Kuji now works as a medical translator and lives a different life from before. Their unexpected reunion after eight years brings their once-sealed, one-time relationship back to the surface, setting their lives in motion again as they reconnect.

messy, complicated relationships
characters become involved with each other depite there not existing a mutual love/affection for each other
selfish characters engaging with entertaining those who have sincerely loved them for a while, not committing to them fully, hurting, confusing them
lgbt content
infidelity more or less (in kuzu no honkai there is no actual exclusive relationship but the characters screw and flirt around) to fill a kind of emptiness
lonely characters, misery

japanese movies with lgbt content
main lead is a self proclaimed straight guy whos in a relationship with a woman but still upholds not so straight connections to other guys
one guy is deeply in love with him
unrequited ? love, hurting each other, not drawing clear boundaries
lonely characters just seeking love
messy, complicated feelings; characters not really knowing what they want and doing a lot of things just for convenience

complicated feelings and relationship between two guys
one is a gay guy who holds very deep affection for the other who is a lot more indecisive and claims to be actually hetero but not drawing a real boundary between them > hurting the other guy and keeping him on his toes
melancholic vibe

movies with characters in complicated, messy relationships and dealing with equally complicated feelings
on of the main characters is queer and has had a crush on the other, who is supposedly straight, for a while... somehow they become involved in a way thats not so platonic
but problems arise
issues of commitment, trust, admitting ones sexuality to oneself
adult struggles
sad vibes lol
