well, he told her.

Mr. Skawronska:

--- Quote ---Instead of worrying about how to live, or how to die, or whether or not living or dying is the right thing, a person should take the path they think will be best for their emotional state (even if they think no emotional state is better than the one they are in now) in the long run. The only thing to lament is when someone chooses a permanent solution for a temporary problem, but its hard to tell if a problem is permanent or temporary when it is very psychologically compelling.

One of the better commentaries on suicide I've yet read anywhere from anyone.  Stealing it shamelessly verbatim.


--- Quote ---So you're saying that 20 year old guys someday regret their douche-baggery and reform?

Yeah. 20 year old girls, on the other hand, get to be 40 and then blame it all on someone other than themselves.

Roast in your selfmade hell, FAye, you egotistical, self-deceptive, shallow bitch.  Sven told you what was up and you didn't listen so you got no one to blame but yourself, and you won't even do that.

Almost drunk.  Getting there.

--- Quote from: championofkhorne on 17 Feb 2009, 10:18 ---If she genuinely hoped that then she was fooling herself. they both said that it wasnt supposed to be monogomous, so really they are both at fault for not saying what they meant, doesnt mean i dont feel bad, but it's both of their faults.

Yeah, they were kind of foolish for pretending they didn't want a real relationship. Mixed signals like that are always a recipie for hurt feelings. Can't say I completely blame Sven.

Prominent Internet Figure:
Sven is Swede.  Therefore, both Faye and Gina Riversmith are pregnant.

quats:
I found it interesting that the implied first reason he didn't want to tell her, was because then she would leave.

Sadly, he doesn't have enough insight to actually consciously realize this -- debateable if he even does now-- or likely the control to do something about it even if he did.  It would be nice if he learns something from this, but, too little too late? Or maybe the emotional BootToTheHead of having to deal with the consequence for once, actually puts him into a better position for a real relationship -- which likely got sidetracked into sex far, far too early, given his particular problem.

They're both addicts -- I fear them both hitting bars to try to fill the gaping emotional hole from this encounter, though for different reasons (booze for her, a hookup for him).  I hope not, they both have grown some, but under stress you do tend to relapse into old habits.  Even if they don't, though, I don't know if either one is strong enough to get the relationship back.

Waiting and biting my nails to see how they both react.  It's a mark of how well-written and complex this is that you can make predictions based on character and past events, but don't really know which way the toast will fall.. butter side up? Down?  Or in a twist, a pet dashes in and devours it? We don't know!

Lyrical:
From my perspective, yes, he didn't promise monogamy, but he knew straight up that if he cheated on her, she was gone.  She didn't want *emotional* commitment, which is what she's scared of, but made it very clear that she expected sexual monogamy.  Probably not very realistic of her, considering it's, well, Sven, but I thought she was pretty clear.  By continuing to date her after she said that, I saw it as him agreeing to it, even if he didn't flat out say so, and he's been acting on it pretty consistently up until the Gina fling.
