I can see why Sophie ignoring him would be hurtful, but did anyone take the time to pause and consider why she was avoiding him?

She felt pressured. Scared. She didn't know how to face him without getting one or both of them hurt, or disappointing him.

Maybe that isn't Fitz's fault. But I think a considerate boyfriend would take a moment to consider whether or not their attitude had something to do with her feeling that way. He didn't mean to pressure her, I know, but he really needs to be more self-aware and mature before he gets into a relationship. Both of them do- at least with each other, because they have the potential to have a really great dynamic, but because they aren't being considerate of each other they end up just clashing.

P.S. Sophie has every right in the world to hang out with Keefe if she wants to. I mean, he's her friend too, it's not just like she picked Fitz's best friend to spite him. I think that him being in the mindset that 'you spend time with me or you don't spend time with anyone' is really really awful. Almost toxic. Both Fitz and Sophie need to step back, take a breath, and realize how irrational they're being before their relationship has a chance of working out.

Both of them need to get it together. Fitz moreso, I think, because Sophie had a LOT going on, and he never really paused to acknowledge or appreciate that- or at least, he never told Sophie he appreciated that, even if he felt it.

Communication is key, guys.
