Would have worked fine if he didn't put his penis in another woman. And that boundary was firmly set by her.

I think there's an important distinction between the type of relationship that Faye and Sven had vs. the type of relationship that Faye and Angus have/seem to be going for.
Faye and Sven were hmm, to put it in their own words "antagonists with benefits". If either of then wanted a long term relationship then they could have brought that possibility to light. They had a fling, and Faye stipulated that the fling would end if Sven didn't stay monogamous. Yes, both Sven and Faye had an emotional stake in the relationship, but I don't think either of them were ready to acknowledge that to each other.
*as a side note, I don't think that hiding the extent of their emotions for each other made Sven and Faye's relationship "dishonest". I think that they were open with each other about what they were ready for and what their terms/conditions for the fling were. Thus, an honest relationship. They were still entitled to their own emotional privacy.
Faye and Angus's relationship is one that has been presented, along with Angus, in a serious light. It's definitely not a case of "I'm bored, lets have sex", which is what Faye/Sven was at times. Angus has been honest about his emotional interest in Faye from the beginning, while not putting unfair pressure on Faye.
Honestly, I'm sick of Sven getting jumped on for "cheating on Faye". I'm not saying that he necessarily makes the best decisions, but he was honest with Faye and didn't string her along or press his advantage in any way. He'd also stated from the beginning of their fling that he wasn't promising monogamy. I think both Faye and Sven had unrealistic expectations of each other.
Is it cold in here?:
The difference is that this time Faye is being honest with herself. Last time she was telling herself that she wasn't in a Relationship when emotionally speaking she was. This time she's going into it with her eyes open.

considering 767 links to 710 saying "remember this guy?" I think you can safely say 710 is Angus.

I'd hazard to say that the last thing Sven and Faye were with each other was honest. They lied to themselves about what they wanted and by extension to each other. They kept quite about feelings they were having and only communicated in thhe most superficial of ways.
Skewbrow:
Agree with bunnyThor about 1363. Doesn't mesh at all with what we now know about Angus' housemates. I'm slow with these things so let me have a reality check moment: Jeph wanted to use the (excellent) "rebound sass" -pun willy-nilly, and lead up to it the best he could (given that he was pressed for time).

I agree with rest of this, but am somewhat hesitant to call it lying. It looked like they didn't recognize whatever feelings they had brewing. Hence couldn't really lie (as in deliberately not tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth). They still could have tried to honestly communicate that uncertainty to each other, but the way the game was played that was not going to happen. Unfamiliar territory for both of them.
