I was so busy thinking about the humans who disapprove that I didn't even stop to consider the AIs who don't approve, I'm sure there are plenty of them. I want to think that Jeremy, Seven, Punchbot would be supportive. May obviously always shipped it. I can't imagine Momo being a jerk about it, since she had a crush on Sven. And Winslow is such a sweetie that I can't imagine him having an issue. But I'm sure there are AIs who would be assholes about it. Can they just not appear in the comic, because that would be great...
Roko, well, she likes human abs, so yeah.
It's funny noticing how many AIs actually have crushes on humans.

Once a friendship becomes romantic whether you want it to or not everything changes. We will see if those changes are for the better or not. (I hope they are)

I would imagine AI's like PT410X will have a problem with an AI/human relationship.

They're not going to make out in the middle of the shop. They aren't going to do that and make everyone uncomfortable. While it's true that they did it that one time, they won't again.
Okay, fine. I guess there are things to discuss... "So let's agree, no PDA in the shop, it makes customers uncomfortable." "Okay."

If they have an argument about their relationship, how will it impact their work performance? If they have an argument about the business, how will it impact their home life? What if, heaven forbid, they break up? How will that impact the shop? Will one of them leave? Who?
Will they even talk about work at home? Will they talk about home at work?
What about PDAs? OK, so no sloppy make-outs in the shop. What about kissing that doesn't rise to that level? Hugging? Touching Bubbles's butt? (HA! Bubble butt!)
And that's just making their work/home life balance work. They also need to talk about any anxieties they're bringing with them. Does Faye need a lot of physical affection? Does Bubbles prefer a little distance? How often do they prefer to have sex? (Honestly, that's an issue that can have a big impact on a relationship if one partner wants sex most days and the other is happy having sex once a week). Since they're working and living together, how do they manage having some time apart? And a million other things that they'll think of and we wont.
It's tempting to think that they can take these issues as they come, but knowing what your issues are and having a plan greatly increases a relationship's chances for success. Problems are easier to overcome when you know they're there. It also helps to create a baseline of confronting issues directly and trusting your partner to take them seriously and help resolve them.
So there is a lot to talk about. There will always be a lot to talk about. They will need to have a big talk tomorrow and the day after and the day after that. I mean, not literally every day, but that kind of communication needs to be ongoing for the life of the relationship.

Yep. He's not in the comic much, and it seems like he's not really involved with any of the main characters other than Pintsize. It's not like he's going to stop by the shop and see Faye and Bubbles making out. But if he did, yes, he'd have some choice, colorful words to say about it. Now I'm reminded of the robot cuss, ASDF (was looking through the archives).
The rules that Bubbles and Faye will make:
Cool it on the PDA around our friends.
NO PDA in the shop. What happened earlier was just us having a moment, it won't happen again.
No lovers' quarrels in the shop. Strictly professional when we're working.
No breaking the bed. :D
hmm...that's a good start to the list.
