MegaLexi:
Oh man, I did not see this coming. Prediction for Monday: Faye is going to show up, possibly to witness a money shot, and somebody is gonna fucking die. I can't wait.

"I expect you to not fuck someone else while we're together" is unrealistic?

It is when you consider she said this to Sven who is well known for his womanizing. In fact, what started to draw Sven further into the mix was Faye calling him out on just that.

Exactly. Faye tried to play both sides of the fence with someone she knew was a player.
I've been in an FWB arrangement myself that turned poly on me. There was no reasonable way I could say to her "you will fuck me and only me" when our arrangement was strictly informal to begin with, so I didn't hold it against her that she was sleeping with someone else at the same time. (I didn't much like talking about it, but it didn't come up much so it wasn't that bad.) If monogamy is what you want, make the commitment. (I was monogamous on my side, but that was due more to a lack of mojo on my part than any particular principle.)
Yes, Sven is being an asshole here, and he will deserve everything he gets thrown at him next week. And he knows damn well he will. But Faye was the one who left the door open; it's entirely possible Sven would have done this anyway (and how do we know he hadn't), but if she hadn't tried to create a balancing act rather than a real relationship, or if she'd simply accepted that it could be an open relationship, she could walk away knowing that whatever Sven did had nothing to do with her. But there was no agreement between them until she unilaterally dumped it on him. The blame is shared (probably about 70/30 Sven's fault, but still).
Mojo:
Hm. A few thoughts.
Sven should know better, and evidently does. However, as the saying goes, old habits die hard (and I can totally understand, as I have a terrible weakness for a redhead...).
Faye should have expected something like this, and probably does. She has made her position very clear; sex, not relationship. However, what she says and what she feels are likely very different things (as is usually the case with women, in my experience). Thus, she's undoubtedly going to be hurt by this. How she responds is anyone's guess at this point. I forsee a visit to her shrink.
Dora is going to... I can't even imagine what Dora is going to do, but I know Sven isn't going to like it...
Marten will be wishy washy and supportive, then say the wrong thing (like, "you know you said you didn't want a relationship..."), leading to still more drama and conflict.
In other words, good times ahead...

General rule of thumb: fewer clothes = better sex. So if you are doing your 'couch-fuckin'' as fully clothed as possible, may I humbly suggest...
Of course Faye will find out. My only question is how: from Sven himself (He doesn't seem that brave to me); from Dora seeing through Sven (but will she tell Faye and hurt her?); walking in on them (but unless they're still nekkid* and no air freshener has been applied, Sven could bareface out of this on strength of the lawyer incident); or Faye discovering physical evidence (another NSFW strip?).

--- End quote ---
I'm above cheap shots. Yes. Above 'em. Beneath my dignity.

--- End quote ---
<Above, above. Damn it!.>
Sigh: On the contrary, looks like some immediate good will come quite soon. Or something like that.
*For those of you who don't know, this strip presents a classic case of nekkidness.
pwhodges:
Perhaps Sven will ask Dora to plead his case with Faye. However unpleasant that might be, he knows she won't actually kill him, because they're family.
