A Whopper of a plot arc!

RedLion:
I think Dora and Marten are happy together and that they're both truly committed to and care deeply for one another. He'll likely take it hard when he first finds out, but I kind of doubt it will bring about the end of his relationship with Dora.

Surgoshan:
What I mean, Generic, is simply that he'll have a hard time with it.  I mean, it's not been all that long since Faye told him she couldn't do anything because she just wasn't ready.  I don't mean that he won't accept it; Marten's the nicest guy ever and for him not to be as understanding and supportive as hell would be way out of character.  I don't think he'll even be mad about it, but it'll still hurt, even if Faye really is just using Sven for sex.*  It's not really the dictates of drama, but the dictate that after months of investing himself personally in Faye, to learn that she was just a short time away from doing the no pants dance?  That she still isn't ready for a relationship, and particularly could never have slept with Marten (because she cares so much about him that being vulnerable or some crap wouldn't blah blah blah her father killed himself in front of her ) will register on one level.  On another he'll still say "why why why?" and probably make some really angsty music with deathmole.

No, I don't think it'll break Marten and Dora up.  Not even a little. 

As for reactions relationship-wise; remember what he and Steve did the day after he and Faye had The Talk?  Blind stinkin' drunk.  And met Hanners in a bathroom.

She knew how much Marten wanted, respected, put up with her punchings and waited for her, he was the perfect gentleman, patiently waiting for her to get over her issues for a very long time.  Then she explained all and said she couldn't do it.  Now to find out that if he'd been more attractive, confident and less of a "nice guy" he wouldn't have been punched nor had to wait, wtf?

If I were Marten, I'd be seriously angry at her.

Surgoshan:
I still think Marten's too much of a doormat to get angry.  He'll get angsty.  The big blue sulk, someone said.

warofthebees:
I kind of like angry Martin.  It's always great when your doormat shows a little bit of backbone (Edward Norton in Fight Club, anyone?).

I think Sven will slip up and say something to Dora, causing Martin to be a little distressed about the Faye and Sven (for the above listed reasons), in turn causing Dora to be angry with all three of them.  I don't think there will be any breakups.

Thank God my life doesn't have any of this kind of drama...although I wish it had something interesting like this!
