Speaking as a member of the "grow a pair" faction, I've been doing well in relationships. More to the point, I was like Marten very early on in life - THAT was when my relationships were bad. While mutual compromise and communication make for a good relationship, one-sided caving is going to a)make the caving person progressively more resentful, and b)get the caving person dumped the moment the other person finds someone with more balls or more money. Why would someone have fear of abusing his/her partner if the partner never reacts with meaningful consequences?
Growing a pair? GOOD IDEA.

Do you really think that Dora is abusing Marten?

Bad, because I've always been in Marten's position where the girl uses me as a scratching post because she's a bit sad that day, or she's got some bullshit excuse, or the Sun rose that morning.

Yes.

Would she really want him to tell her, though? Someone already said it earlier, but that would seem a little like he was trying to be a manipulative twat rather than keeping open those lines of communication: "Hey, someone asked me out. Yeah, that's right. You just remember that I can leave any time I want, kid." I doubt Marten would even be able borrow a set big enough to play off something like that.
Mallli_kite:
Dora as abuser. Wow. I would have picked Faye as the one who really played headgames with Marten. I'll need to go back through the strips to find the ones where Dora calls Marten names, undermines his self confidence, threatens to leave him or to hurt him, or does more than have a 10 minute insecurity episode.
Can anyone help me find all the Dora the Abuser strips? No, seriously, maybe she really is and the evidence is in the strip.
