Sven and Faye's "relationship"

I have been in Fayes shoes and I have to say, that it is impossible not to fall in love with the man you are sleeping with.
A womans brain releases so much Oxytocin during sex and Oxytocin is the same hormone that makes new mothers love their babies.
sex=oxytocin=love

I've done this twice.
First time, it lasted five months, we were both with other people now and again, and while there was an emotional connection- I didn't love him. Even in my self-hating days I couldn't love someone wuite THAT self-absorbed. He was good in bed though. It ended when he got in an actual relationship.
Second time- heh. We've been together coming up to six years and we set a date for the wedding six months ago. So, I guess that one turned pretty much into love.
I'm not sure about the science involved, but I do know that women often- not always, but often- have a stronger emotional reaction to sex. Women often struggle to see sex as separate to your feelings for someone, whereas many men can have sex with someone they dislike but think is 'hot'. It's certainly not true in all cases, but if anyone can divorce sex from emotional responses it's Sven, and if anyone is emotionally needy enough to mistake sex for affection it's Faye.
Unfortunately, as I know to my cost and from several of my female friends, many girls with absent or abusive fathers, or indeed a girl who saw her father commit suicide in front of her, can get a somewhat screwy idea of what male behavior is like. They don't get a full education abut socializing with the opposite gender, and when sex comes along and their emotional response hits as well, they can be... confused. They mistake sex for love, and as they feel unloved, they will take what they can get.
I feel for Faye, because while I've not been in that exact situation, I have been in a similar one.

i would really like faye and sven to be together. they seem like such a good couple/ but with faye's personality and attitude, i guess she wouldn't want to be in a relationship with him. so they're only friends with benefits? doesn't work out if theres personal feelings. but i guess there ok for now. but remember before when faye was acting jealous? but yea, sven actually stepped up and seemed to show he likes her:
i really liked that part. so sweet. but i wonder how it would be if they were a couple though? would faye lose her flair? i don't know. i guess it all depends on what jeph does. but i really do hope they end up together in the end :wink:

Well, I don't think that applies to Faye. She had a healthy relationship with her father during her formative years (even telling him about losing her virginity and all) and had all the regular experiences a girl her age would have with the boys, so it's not like she never had a paternal figure; or sex, or romantic relationships with boys. She is not confused about sex, nor does she mistake sex for love. She doesn't feel unloved (hello!! she's aware of Marten's feelings from day one!!) nor is she taking what she can get.
She was attracted to Sven early on (and even more so after he did the "come hither" look on her and Hannelore), even though he seemed to represent everything she hates in a guy. Despite that, it's him she always kept going to when she needed to talk, vent, or unwind even before they started having sex.
I think their relationship works because he's a "punching bag" that punches her right back, as opposed to Marten who wouldn't reciprocate. Faye needs someone who treats her like an equal (who else would whack her in the head with a magazine??) and gives her a sense of distance and proximity at the same time.
She now respects him a bit more and is coming to terms with the attraction she feels.

Yeah that's what I think. I don't think there's that much psychology when it comes to Sven; in fact I don't think it comes in at all. It's just your typical "girl-hates-boy-but-actually-feels-for-him" thing. Now when she gets down to The Talk, like she did to Marten, now that could be interesting
