--- Quote from: innermoppet on 06 Feb 2009, 11:06 ---It's not an exclusive relationaship but they had a friendship first and Faye expected manogamy and Sven appeared to accept her expectations. I'm curious if Sven is going to be decent, sleazy or cowardly.
A decent person would admit what they did and give Faye the option of sticking around or walking away. A sleazeball would keep sleeping with Faye and not tell her. A coward would break it off with Faye immediately and never tell her, thus sparing her heart.
What kind of guy is Sven?
I think he's a coward.

Why would not telling her, when they aren't in an acknowledged, committed relationship be being a sleezeball? And what makes you so sure that a decent person would tell her? Realistically, as I mentioned earlier, no, no, no... Let me just quote them:

My last point with Sven is this: unless Faye walks in on them, why would he be obliged to tell her? Sometimes it's better to not tell things like this just to clear your own conscience. We've discussed that in other threads in other places on the forums. But as long as he realizes what he did and doesn't let it happen again, maybe it's best if he just eats the guilt and doesn't add that stress to an otherwise, possibly burgeoning relationship... Just my two cents there...

--- Quote from: TheDozarian on 06 Feb 2009, 07:56 ---Again... everyone is assuming that Sven has to tell Faye about this. Why would he? If she doesn't burst in and find them, why would he tell her? If Sven really has the epiphany that some of you(us) are describing, wouldn't telling Faye to help him get over the guilt be incredibly selfish. I know all the arguments for and against telling her so no need to rehash them.
But if Sven really wants to have a relationship with Faye, A REAL RELATIONSHIP, he needed to have this moment. He needed to understand that there was a side to himself that he had to deal with.

--- Quote from: mbb on 16 Jan 2009, 00:00 ---I thought the moral of the story there was to learn to keep a secret? Just because you screwed up yourself doesn't mean you should screw things up for the other person by ending it out of guilt/hurting them with the information. (I know a lot of people will disagree with me here, but that's fine and reasonable)
--- End quote ---
I didn't tell her why I broke up with her... Just that the distance and everything made it too difficult to keep up my end of it. That I didn't want to deal with it for the next 3-4 years while she finished university. I never told her I cheated on her. And no, I don't think that keeping a secret in that situation is the wrong thing to do... She deserved better than that and we were both young. She had time to find someone else and she did... Relationships based on false pretenses, regardless of their intent, are often not long for things. And in this situation, she was forced to deal with it in a very definitive way. It gave her a solid chance for closure without the idea of what could have been...

Well, that's a lot of quoting, but in the end, it should help get my point across. Sometimes you have to deal with your own guilt and not force others to live through it just to help you do it. Sometimes a little lie is better than destroying someone's sense of being just so you can have a clear conscience. Besides, in the end, if the relationship can handle the strain, it'll handle it better later than it will now. If it's meant to be, it'll be.

--- End quote ---
I'm surprised anyone was looking at her earlobes.
Morgil:
Oh great, I usually read QC at school during my math hours. Well, I think I have to live with the fact that the row behind me will now think I am a pervert. At least this comic compensates this for me - it was not the worst image I stumbled upon during the math hours and the teacher wasn't nearby.
Great one, can't wait to see how the story continues - if Jeph needs a whole day to plan it, there will neither be a "I'm sorry, kisskisskiss" nor will Dora or Faye just make mincemeat of him.

--- Quote from: teh_Shannon on 06 Feb 2009, 09:24 ---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.
--- End quote ---
I don't think that Marten is unhappy, perhaps listless? I mean, just because he's sighing.... and looking pensive... maybe he's just thinking about taking his and Dora's relationship to the next level? Now *That* would be a fun house-hold to visit. Dora and Marten all loved up, Pintsize annoying the crap out of Faye... LoL.
