well, he told her.
Lyrical:
It wasn't "no strings," though, she specifically said she would only have sex with him if he wasn't having sex with anyone else. He didn't deliberately set out to hurt her with it, and getting drunk does mess with self control a lot, but if they were in an open relationship where he could have sex with whoever he wanted to, he'd have already been doing just that. I don't think he's a jerk or a douchebag for doing it so much as for planning to cover it up. If it was no big deal and no problem, he wouldn't have been having regrets while he was doing it, too.
I don't think it was fair or realistic of her to ask for a monogamous relationship without emotional commitment, but I thought she made it clear that was what she was offering, and he'd been able to handle it until then.

Faye---> wants cake
Faye---> eats cake
Faye---> complains that she can't have both.
She wanted a steady, monogamous relationship, but she didn't want the burden of the emotional effort of maintaining it. She demanded fidelity and security and offered nothing in return.
I know why she demanded everything and delivered nothing, but it doesn't mean she was being irrational and stupid.

Yeah, I think we're on the same page, here.
Thing is, I don't think he was handling it. I think he was wanting more, and his admission of infidelity was huge. It was him being open and vulnerable for the first time ever.
At least having a fight would have been dealing with it and being part of a relationship. But Faye just walked out. She's still ... in denial? That doesn't sound right. Pushing people away; refusing to form real relationships.
Guido Sarducci:
AND she picked a serial monagamist for a partner. :laugh:
SrMeowMeow:
I don't think Faye overreacted either though. Sven wouldn't promise monogamy, Faye said she'd leave if he slept with someone else. He did, she left. They did everything but contractually agree on the relationship ending this way :-P
Surgoshan:
Way back when, I feel like Sven didn't want this to be a hook up. He'd been hanging out with Faye for a while; she'd been challenging him about pretty much everything. I think he invested in her even before they hooked up.
In short, I think Sven felt it was a relationship and treated it light-hearted more to play along with Faye.
