Like I was saying, Raven would honestly feel better about that at this point than learning Yuri was lying to him again. He is upset that Yuri gets himself hurt, but he is more upset that Yuri does not seem to think that this is a thing worth doing only for good reasons or talking about with people. So all Raven knows is that Yuri is valuing his own well being below... something Raven doesn't really understand. If Yuri was like "yeah Vincent is fucked up but I love him and sometimes he needs to torture someone and I can be there for that" Raven would... still not be happy, obviously, but at least that is something he can understand better!
On a romantic/sexual relationship level it would probably be a death blow to any hopes Raven might have of working things out with Yuri in that way, because obviously Vincent is infinitely more important to Yuri than Raven could ever be, but... he doesn't actually have any hopes left so that wouldn't make any difference really. And on a party relationship level it would be better because he could be like "OKAY THAT IS UNHEALTHY but at least he's willing to talk about it, maybe that means it can be kept under control and maybe we can work on Yuri valuing himself as much as he does Vincent."
I was thinking more about the role-reversal/crash thing, and really the reason Raven hates Yuri not talking about his issues is that Raven didn't talk about them until after he kidnapped Estelle and tried to get Yuri to kill him. When Raven really has no idea what is going on with Yuri except warnig signs he can imagine the worst might happen at any moment. NO MATTER HOW MANY ISSUES YURI HAS it is still better if he's talking about them.
Is there any chance in hell of Yuri actually doing that...
