Also a characteristic of the fs-eDA.

Worse, to me, Sven was trying to cast Faye as acting the same as he does. There was absolutely no reason for her to listen to him after that bit of self-justification. "Sorry" doesn't fix everything, and it especially doesn't do it when it's not the first thing out of your mouth.
Hint, kiddies: if you want to actually talk to someone whose feelings you just hurt, you probably better make with the nice, not the insults. Better yet, give 'em some space, for god's sake. Sven would have been better off just saying hi and letting Faye do the talking...or not.

But you see, this is precisely the point.
Sven liked Faye because she WASN'T like him. He was used to women who fell for his good looks. That Faye DIDN'T, meant she liked him for HIM, not for his body. Then he sees her with some other guy, and he automatically suspects he's been replaced by some other guy. This in turn means that Faye WASN'T any different from the way he was - that is, she was using him for sex and was thus no different than any other woman he had known.
Thus, his sense of self worth takes a blow. A great deal of what Sven has been doing to improve himself is thereby undermined. Of course, this doesn't excuse him for behaving like a jerk, but when you consider the effect of the situation as HE sees it, it's not hard to understand why he'd react that way.
714:
ok did anyone else read that last poll choice as "dora's "booBs" ? i was confused and thought i definitely didn't notice anything about dora's boobs. but then i thought hey dora's a cartoon and i'm a girl so i guess i wouldn't have...and then i realized it was boots not boobs...then again i didn't really notice those either o.O
aaanyhow, so i was never an angus fan. i always found him kinda annoying, but he's definitely growing on me in these past few comics...something endearing about him
also, sven is not helping. like seriously dude, what're you thinking? i don't really think it's anything much deeper than he's jealous. not that he really has the right to say anything to her about it after what happened, but it's how it slipped out. and he knew he was an ass the second it came out.
will be interesting to see how it all works itself out...

There's your problem--he automatically suspects that Faye's is sleeping with Angus, even after Faye made a similar mistake regarding his lawyer. Not even a how are you doing, just strait to the assumption that Faye's boinkin' some other dude. He has no evidence to support that hypothesis, other than that He's seen her in public with the dude (which was something that Faye tried to avoid with him.)
Is there anything in Sven's behavior since he told Faye about his transgression that does not make him look like a complete fs-eDA?
edit:
Comics up, and Angus, you're not helping.
Is it cold in here?:
Contrast current-model Sven with the one in 1083, who acknowledged Faye's freaked-outitude and offered to talk.
I think the difference is that he's in an unfamiliar situation now and isn't acting out of his best side (leaving aside the question of how good his best side is).
Still think the mature thing for Faye to do would have been a cold "None of your business. Get lost."
