Sven and Faye's "relationship"
psion:
I don't know about y'all (did I really just type that?), but I'm waiting for what I call the breakdown. The big moment when Faye gets fed up and tells Martin that she isn't in love with Sven at all, that they just fuck sometimes. And then Martian tells her that he still and always loves her. The smootching comming afterwards will result in Dora noticing and stuff. I think that would make for some serious QC drama, as well as hold potential for some seriously funny punchlines with Pintsize.
But that just happens to be what I want to happen.
sofiabailote:
Sven is not going to fuck the intern, she's not remotely attractive to him (Steven should meet her, though- but I think she's probably lesbian and should hook up with Tai).
Faye doesn't need to have "the talk" with Sven; Marten shared "the talk" with Dora and Dora already told Sven about it, so everybody in that circle of friends has implicitly heard "the talk". Besides, why would she have "the talk" with him? she already fucked him (and continues to do so)! "The talk" was Faye's proverbial "it's not you, it's me" blow off to Marten, nothing else. She told Dora she had feelings for Marten, but what were those feelings? In my opinion, she said that just to fuck Dora's mind. She knew Dora would feel guilty and insecure, so she did it because, let's face it, Faye has a bit of a mean side...
Coffee_Kaioken:
All I'm going to say is that with today's strip, it looks like we're about to see the hidden conflicts/issues come to a boiling point.
Let's see how thumbcat's ideas hold up.
appleshampooid:
I don't think Sven is being an asshole in today's comic, I just think he's being honest.
I think they didn't have a serious enough talk about how the "relationship" was going to work before they started fucking regularly. You need to have clear boundaries in this kind of a thing...Sven is clearly okay with it not being monogamous and Faye isn't, so they probably shouldn't have taken it past the initial hookup (and maybe a couple more for good measure).
If I were Faye I would cut it off here and try to move on...now that she's tasted teh sex for the first time in a while and it didn't destroy her emotionally, maybe she can start dating again. Is she over Marten? Meh, who knows.
Mr. Skawronska:
--- Quote ---Yes, it's typically called "friends with benefits", and it's not a good idea.
We all want sexual freedom and sexual power, but sharing that kind of intimacy just to scratch an itch? It leaves you vulnerable and doesn't lead to a mutually rewarding relationship (short term satisfaction does NOT lead to long term mutual respect and commitment).
I have an inkling that Faye is going to learn that the hard way.

We keep coming back to this post.
First off, "Friends with Benefits" is a good idea to the one who likes it. The other, who may be in it for more emotional reasons...this is a bad idea. When both are shallow and only want sex from one another until they find steady "real" mates, it works, except that one will inevitably find a mate before the other leaving the other without the "benefits" anymore. That's the only downside I see.
As far as Faye learning that the hard way, I hope she does! Having followed the strip via the archives, I despise the bitch. Every time Sven does something assholish to her, I do a little dance. I get my jollies on watching Faye reap the rewards she so richly deserves by how she treated Marten.
It's no small wonder that I relate to this situation, having had this happen to me recently, only after MY "Faye" got done with "Sven" she came crawling back to me after he moved on to greener pastures. I did not, of course, accept her back, but there were a lot of things I WANTED to say that I didn't.
So yeah, I guess we all read this comic for different reasons. Marten's a wuss but Dora's good for him. Hannelore is DARLING - love her dearly...wouldn't sleep with her, but love her nonetheless. Sven -- I have a buddy, a musician, who looks almost EXACTLY like him, but without his success with the ladies...I'm trying to get him to read this comic so he can see that he, like Sven, can get all the ladies if he'll just be more of a jerk...and then there's Faye, who is my own personal whipping girl in this world.
Thanks, Jeph, for giving me something that gives me so much entertainment. I also want to mention that I absolutely appreciate the final strip for 2008 to be a verbal bitch-slap for Faye.
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!

Oh great sweet merciful crap I hope not. Faye doesn't DESERVE Marten. Faye deserves heartbreak and misery. The sad thing is, if Dora wasn't around to keep Faye from screwing with Marten's hormones, I could see that happening exactly. If Dora ever goes on an unexpected business trip or family emergency, I can see this story arc happening if Faye pulls her head out of her rectum and dumps Sven for Marten.
The question then becomes: Will Marten be dumb enough to get intimate with Faye after she's rejected him, led him on, and then obviously slept with a guy Marten (and the rest of us as well) sees as a shallow SOB? Will Marten's "love" for Faye, that Faye will use to jerk him around by the testicles the way Dora does (though Dora does it lovingly) override his good sense? Faye's not above irrationally hurting people without regard, and I just see that as being bad for Marten.
Besides, I hate the bitch. She doesn't deserve to be happy; She deserves Sven.
