Can I use fishers exact test in this situation?

You can see in the below table that I have multiple cells that have expected counts <5 and cells with counts equal to zero + zero expected counts. As I want to analyze the relationship between my two variables, one being about attitude and the other about behavior, would fishers exact test be good to use in this situation? I'm wondering this as I've read that your variables need to have a dichotomous relationship to use the test. I'm not sure if its still okay to use the test between my two variables as I find it hard to discern if they are dichotomous. Can someone advise on this?

Note: And although the variables are supposed to be ordinal, they have a non-monotonic relationship so I have to use nominal measures of association as suggested to me in other forums such as the fishers exact test (when you have low expected count freq).
