She could have talked to him about this, make him see reasons why his actions is affecting her. She was mostly bothered about people's opinion of Steve, then she capped it by sleeping with his friend which was not nice. She could have just walked away from the relationship the moment he joined the force.Jude Michael Zambarakji wrote: ↑12 Aug 2022, 07:24But Roxy and Steve were not married. They may have acted like a married couple, but they technically weren't married. I thought that Roxy's unsupportive behavior was justified because Steve would come home late at night drunk and interfere with her sleep, which could have had a negative impact on her studies and jeopardized her future career as a medical doctor.Timothee22 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2022, 00:05 You cannot support your spouse and bail on them when things turn sour. Her action shows how unsupportive she is. Steve should never forgive her.
I think the story was written in such a way that it failed to convince many readers that Roxy's unsupportive behavior toward Steve's decision to continue being a police officer was justified. I felt that the narrative would sometimes give flimsy or silly reasons for Roxy's negative and unsupportive attitude toward Steve's police work. For example, some of Steve's friends felt uncomfortable about the fact that he was a police officer, but the narrative establishes the fact that they have known Steve for years while he was at Brown University. Steve's friends should have realized from the fact that he never arrests them for marijuana possession that he is still largely the same person they have known for years and they should have been more supportive.

Roxy was not justified and I won't blame Steve for that, at the end of the day her choices are hers. Regardless, Steve was a major letdown when he failed to communicate properly, which probably started the whole thing. If he really believed he was doing things for her and them, she should have been made more aware of what he was really going through.
