Exactly! The story was making it seem like the co worker's warped view was normal "Just talk to him", cuz yeah, I'm sure he sounds like the type that can be reasoned with. Or basically saying, just go out with your abuser. Oh my gosh ahhh these characters
"just go out with him already"? I'm sorry but that's really not a good advise.
I know that this is fiction but seriously, if I heard my friend/employee having a story like that I would immediately assume it's a toxic relationship and advise them to break the it off asap. I know it wouldn't go with the plot, but seriously encouraging toxic/abusive relationships is really not a good advise.
Never the less I find this story interesting, just was bothered by the hurtful advise.
