I think Fitzie’s point is that they’re not going to risk a relationship with you if they can’t trust you to stand up for the relationship when basically the entirety of society (not to mention your family) is going to condemn you for it, instead of caving in to societal pressure and getting rid of them as both an RO AND an employee. Being a “pushover”, as you put it, seems to run in the opposite direction?
Remember, while Fitzie is your last chance at a valet, you’re also THEIR last chance at an employee, and being involved with an employer is going to get Fitzie kicked out of the valet org, so you probably can’t leave any room for doubt that you’ll stick with them through hell and high water, even if the high water is so high it washes over the (haha) peer pressure.
It does. Which is exactly why I think it might be hard to do a Fitzie romance with an MC who is one: nearly everyone is going to push you to NOT be in a romance with them, and Fitzie already got burned in that exact way in an employer romance.
