Keep Em Together, or Tear Em Apart..
DesolateDecember:
I am so very torn on this topic. On some level it looks like it could never work. Simply based on Sven's confrontation/commitment problems, leaving the mentally fragile Faye incapable of trusting him, despite his actual efforts to change his ways. That alone easily leads then to failure.
Yet there is some strange hope because they both do want to make drastic changes in their lives. Each has given the other good advice on their respective subjects. They could end up being just the kind of support the other needs to make their changes. Therefore enabling them to create a pretty decent relationship.
Naoko:
All I meant is that everyone is saying "oh my god they're so good together because Sven makes Faye's problems go away and blah blah blargh," when it's kind of stupid. Hanners has done more for Faye than Sven has, so should Faye hook up with Hanners? I wouldn't say so. Who cares if Faye feels better around Sven? She feels better around just about anyone who isn't in a relationship, particularly Dora and Marten.

I think she only feels that way because she isn't IN one.

That, and because she used to like Marten.
All I'm saying is that the whole "Sven makes Faye feel better" thing is a load of crap. Just about any other character makes her feel better other than Dora. That's all.
skaps:
I just realized what this relationship reminds me of...me and my ex boyfriend. It fits almost exactly!
I'm a bit like Faye [except without a dead dad, so a wee bit less of the issues] and he used to be a horrific womanizer. He met me, who doesn't put up with that kind of BS, and he finally settled down [before we began dating, to prove himself or something]. Except, of course, then my slight issues and need to be with just me got in the way so we broke up. But we had become friends before dating, so we're still friends now...and we still have feelings for one another. Hell, I could even see myself marrying the guy one day if things worked out when we got to be more of Sven/Faye's age group.
I don't think you should go out and try to change people, but sometimes it just happens.
So I really think they could work out realistically. The argument against it is that it doesn't seem realistic, but from where I'm standing IT IS REAL! It has already happened.
