I do agree that Hannelore would be a good candidate to call Dora for her shit, but that wouldn't be as interesting as other options. For example one involving Angus asking where is Faye, Dora saying something stupid, Angus returning home in despair, telling Marigold about it, Marigold going to Faye in anger for hurting Angus, Faye storming int CoD in RAGE for Dora jepoardizing her budding relationship with Angus, etc.

Faye storms into CoD, Dora brings out the weaponry in the back, catfight ensues, Hanners, Penelope, and Cosette try to stop the fight, Cosette gets hit by the sword, ends up dying in the hospital, Dora goes on trial for manslaughter. Sven takes over the coffeehouse, hires Wil. Dora, faced with her brother running the one thing she felt like she was doing successfully in her life, ends up hanging herself in prison while waiting for sentencing. Faye returns to drinking. Marten, now having lost Steve, Marigold and Angus as friends, and with Dora in prison, can't handle the stress anymore and shoots himself in front of Faye.

LeGrande,
Throw in some extreme close ups, heavy-handed symbolism, inexplicable insert shots, and a midget or two and you've got yourself a David Lynch film.

Then why is Marten still with her?
--- End quote ---
Because he has the brain and balls to actually try to make a relationship work? This isn't fairytale-verse, there are are arguments. People do irrational dumb shit occasionally. Dora is officially being a bitch right now, but most of the time she isn't and they have a good relationship. If you are even slightly serious about a person - and Marten has said time and again that he loves her - then you DO NOT go straight for a breakup every time the relationship hits a pothole.
Relationships don't just trundle along and turn out perfectly by default. They involve effort and work, sometimes hard work. You have to concede to each other's quirks and flaws, sidestep the areas where you don't match and nurture the areas where you do. There are going to be fights, and some of them will be blistering rows until both of you have learned how to avoid them. In a relatively young relationship, neither side will have really learned how to stop themselves from being irrational cockbuckets, nor how to safely disarm the opposite number when they are.
Marten gets a really raw deal from the fans really. In the past he's done the sensible, mature thing and let it slide off, then picked things up and moved on. And for that he gets called a "pussy" and "spineless" by people who clearly don't understand real relationships.
Maybe this one will turn out to be particularly bad. Maybe it'll turn out that one or both of them get off the defensive and call Dora on her bullshit. We don't know, but we're going to find out in about 20 hours or so

This seems kind of out of character for Dora... hasn't she said something before to Martin about not having any problem with him checking out other girls, and even joked that he could bring one home for a 3-some?
