Alphalpha:
I've never called them anything but 'woodlice'. I've never heard the name 'roly-polys' but Animal Crossing called them 'pill bugs' so I know that one.
PREDICTION:
Faye and Angus start something up. Nothing sexual, but definitely a close relationship. THEN just as things are going really well, Sven finally has the epiphany we all want him to experience and he and Faye spend the night doing sexy things. Faye feels really guilty because she cheated(ish) on Angus, but is torn because she likes Sven too, as we all know.
Obviously this won't happen right away, but give it a few weeks (in real time, not QC time)...
Is it cold in here?:

I disagree.
If he doesnt even know WHY he feels bad, he needs to think more. A lot more.

And to do that he needs to crawl out of the self-pity hole, 'cause you can't see out when you're in it. Faye was stuck feeling sorry for herself, Sven bopped her out of it. Now Sven is too busy with the "what did it get me" game to do the hard thinking he needs, like "how do I feel about Faye".
After getting a rolled up magazine in 983, Faye acquired some perspective and realized she should apologize to Marten. Sven needs that kind of jolt now.

Even if he genuinely can't fathom a relationship with her, he did the one thing I don't think he's ever done. He became friends with a woman first. He established a connection that was not based on sex. He doesn't do that. Unlike Marten who is surrounded by platonic female relationships, Sven had no female friends before Faye. So now he this friendship all tangled up in his sex life which is exactly what he has always avoided. It's a lot easier to hurt people if you have no connection to them beyond sex.

This made me see a weird parallel between Faye-Sven and Dora-Marten.
Dora is a very sexual person who is fine with romantic relationships and casual sex.
Faye is a very guarded person who is defensive even with her closest friends.
Martin is used to having girls who are platonic friends.
Sven is used to only having girlfriends and one night stands, no female friendships.
Martin and Sven both found their exceptions to the rule in Dora and Faye respectively.

To set a seven-foot rim above the self-pity hole (Sven seems tall), I get the distinct impression that Sven has never seriously thought about how he feels about anyone. It's one of the reasons Wil irratates him (Wil seems to spend more time thinking about how he feels than actually doing anything about it).
In other words, even if he does climb out, is Sven going to have any idea how to proceed from there?
Still, he may have assistance in this. Too often nothing clarifies how you feel about someone as well as seeing them with someone else. You definitely reach a conclusion, and quickly, even if it's the wrong one.
edit: Irratates = irritates = WTF is wrong with me? Irratates is what the Red Baron does to Snoopy.
