he was lying when he said that to starling, just to hurt her. he also said that. and i don't think that molly or burrich married jsut to avoid suspicion or the stigma of being a bastard. and she had burrich to support her. that was the point. he was there, he looked after her. they weren't married when she gave birth, the kid was already a bastard and anyone local would hav eknown that. they married after. and burrich was already there. she married him because she wanted to, becauise she needed to. not because oif anything else. her feelings just weren't that strong for fitz in my opinion. sorry.

and yeah, i think fitz and kettricken made a much better couple. she was smart, strong, independant, had the wit, has some position, was a fighter, knew herbs, was an assassin almost (when she posioned fitz when they first met) and molly was just a girl who liked making candles. she was so domestic and dull. and ok, that's what fitz wanted, a life, a home, but personality wise, he was suited to kettricken better. it was her position, her love of verity, that i think clouded his judgment to that, because he wanted something private and seperate from his life and his duity and she wouldn't have been that. molly was. molly was a break. but kettricken was definitly better suited.
