Vuntic:
Hello.
I have registered to this forum for one reason only: I must state that
Sven's pun is entirely and totally awful. In a good way.
"Okay now I am officially screwed" --Sven
wargrafix:
So what if Sven hooked up with her?
People who use the term "womanizer" are being just as hypocritical about the whole situation since they think that just because he slept with Faye a few times means he is in a ball an chain situation.
Border Reiver:
No, but they do appear to be in a relationship.
Being in a relationship means that you do need to take the other person's feelings into account every once in a while. Faye does not seem to be OK with the concept of an "open relationship", she may have difficulties articulating it, but I believe that the two them had come to an unspoken understanding of being in an exclusive relationship. And Sven has committed the cardinal relationship sin of breaking trust.
So now he has to:
a. Keep his yap shut, and carry on as before (which while possible in real life is impossible in the world of entertainment unless the author decides that it can be so - at least until he can come up with a good storyline);
b. Confess, and try to fix the relationship;
c. Confess, and break off the relationship; and
d. Seek protection in a non-extradition country.
Anyway that Jeph cares to play it is OK with me - so long as the story is entertaining.
teh_Shannon:
I can definitely see where Faye will be hurt and pissed hardcore, however...what if she's not? If we'll all refer back to comic 1328 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1328), the last time we saw Sven and Faye together, Faye doesn't exactly look happy. I'd definitely say that that isn't a sigh of contentment, so perhaps she is really unhappy with Sven, and the current state of their relationship. We can assume that this means,
A. She really cares for him and wants to move forward into a more conventional relationship, or
B. She's tired of this kind of arrangement and wants to end it.
So perhaps this ordeal will be just what she needs to allow her to do so. That some comic (1328) also provides evidence that Marten isn't happy either, which would be some serious foreshadowing for a potential Faye Marten drunken hookup, as others have said.
Course, she might just be really sad and hate Sven, and perhaps even kill him with the Malaysian battle spatula. That fucker's sharp.

I disagree with this point. It seemed to me like Faye has avoided really talking about it truthfully and has often told Sven things which contradict her actions. You can make an argument for him knowing what she wanted with him anyway and not caring, which would make him an asshole, though. I think the more likely thing is that he honestly doesnt know what she wants and he's playing it by ear, choosing not to stick his neck out over it.
His inner commentary shows he's confused, at least; he's not playing this out like some macho manwhore, he seems to have an element of remorse about it. I mean, it might be because he's afraid of the trouble rather than the morality of it, but smeh.
