No fair springing the marriage scare. That's just a mean thing to joke about.
Then again, I am pretty much the opposite of snubnose on this subject.

Yyyeah, it becomes a bit disturbing in hindsight if a breakup ever occurs.
Except I was the one saying it, not her. But anyway...
Yeah if I were in Marten's position I'd be pretty damn freaked out. Even with Dora not being pushy.
Ghanima Atreides:
Moving in with someone was scary enough in that "your life changes overnight" way...even after 6 years talk of marriage and/or kids except in the hypothetical sense would still put me on edge. :| But that's because I want neither. So, I feel for Marten, heh.

I dont understand this common belief that men dont like being told about marriage / having children.

In this particular instance, Marten's reaction could simply be because he and Dora have only been dating a short time (I think someone mentioned 2 months as an approximation). I know there are cases out there where people decided to get married after the first or second date, but it doesn't seem like that is the case here.
So, Marten could simply be having fun in the moment of the relationship, and is shocked that Dora is taking the possibilities so far, when he is not ready for that at all.

I think it's probably been longer than 2 months. There are occasionally big jumps forward in time in the comic. Once in a while it will be summer and then, suddenly, in the next strip, it'll be winter. I'm not sure how many times this has happened during Marten and Dora's relationship, nor am I sure how many months are skipped over in each leap forward, but I'm pretty sure Marten and Dora have been together longer than 2 months.
That said, I'd guess that it's probably been no more than 6 months. It's hard to estimate comic time, though, so I could be way off.
