Schmorgluck:
To me, the main reason Dora is being an unsufferable abusive bitch right now, and why she fully deserves that someone tells her to JUST SHUT UP ALREADY, is she doesn't let them any chance to explain themselves, by CUTTING THEM MID-SENTENCE. THREE FUCKING TIMES.
I'd already have slapped her. OK, probably not, but I would have counter-yelled that's for sure.
Carl-E:
Tergon, thanks so much for saying what I was thinking, and doing so in a much better way than I could have.
Here I stand, broom in hand, fighting the surging tide
useless dicks against the pricks of comments both snarky and snide
I've lived 26 years with a woman who used to have teh irrational jealousies and fears. They can be worked through, though they never go away completely. It takes a lot of love and patience, not threats and ultimatums.
Fortunately for Dora, I think her friends care enough to do it right, and not dump her/dump on her.
Ravenswing:
A Chinese emperor in olden days was such a tyrant that he decreed harsh punishments for many crimes, real or fancied. Death for striking an elder. Death for insolence. Death for petty thefts. More and more, death was the penalty for everything.
A group of villagers rushed to the fields, gasping in dismay. The road had been washed out, forcing them to take a detour. Suddenly one pulled up. "Weng, what are you doing? Do you not know what we risk, in our delay ...?" hissed another.
"My friends," Weng replied solemnly, "You know what the penalty for not being in the fields at the appointed hour is."
"Death," they intoned somberly.
"It is true," Weng answered. "But do you also know the penalty for rebellion? For killing the emperor?"
"Death," they intoned again.
"Well," said Weng, glancing up at the rising sun, "Boys, we're late for work."
*****
For quite a few years now, my wife and I've used "Boys, we're late for work" as a code phrase for the concept that if you're going to get screwed over whether you behave yourself or not, there's little incentive to follow the rules. I agree Marten's not the type to do it, but I'd love to hear him say "If you're going to jump down my throat every time I'm with another female and unsupervised, what's my incentive to behave myself? You're treating me like a cheater anyway."

Not only an unfair tactic when in an argument where you are demanding answers, but also incredibly rude. The thing is, the people that do this to others (in my own personal experiences) HATE it when you do this back to them. It magnifies this even more when you not only do it back to them, but then point out that they were originally doing it, thus provoking the response from you. I have a feeling that the first time someone does this to Dora, she'll start to analyze her own behavior, and possibly change it (hopefully for the better).
Yes, I know they are fictional characters. Yes, I know it's a webcomic. I gave way to acceptance long ago that I actually do care about them, much as some people care about the characters in their soap operas. I don't care. They matter to me.
