Tergon:
Yeah, I sincerely doubt that where Sven's at counts as "obsessing". He strikes me more as the kind of guy who covers the heavy topics with a joke as a defense thing. The fact that he felt genuinely shitty about how things turned out with Faye isn't something he's used to; so, when confronted with the mental image of Faye not wearing very much, he knee-jerks into Flippant Jerk mode and tosses off a joke completely irrelevant to the serious things Marten is saying to him. That stops him from thinking about a subject that's probably still a reasonably open wound for him.
And, yes, I'm sure the fact that both he and Marten agree that Faye has impressive Tracts Of Land is a factor in his choice of joke. That doesn't make it any less of a mask he's putting on.
I imagine that once Marten gets genuinely annoyed, Sven will back down and take the conversation, and Marten's dillemma, seriously. We may find out something about Dora, or about her relationship with Sven, or even her relationships with other less-than-trustworthy guys that have contributed to where her mind's at right now. Either way, Jeph's too much of a storyteller to have a random meeting with Sven be completely spent on one joke. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Sven seriouses up.

Why is it that when any drama surfaces, the people here always seem to blame Sven for it.
"Oil crisis in the Middle East! That philandering scumbag must have been fucking all the oil barrels!"

I don't know what you are speaking about. On the matter at hand, we've had hints that he may have played a role.

Well, seeing that he even managed to upset Anders!
Mojo:
You know, part of me thoroughly understands Dora's feelings here. Let me explain.
I've had two serious relationships in my time. The first, we'll call her Jane, cheated on me. It was the first time I'd experienced that kind of betrayal, and it changed me. I used to be completely trusting. If she wanted a "girls' night out," I had no problem with it. But that changed. That ability to trust was forever damaged.
Thus, when I started seeing the second woman, we'll call her Doris, I couldn't help feeling an intense paranoid dread whenever she was away from me. I knew it was irrational. Doris wasn't Jane, there was no logical reason to expect Doris to betray me as Jane had done. The heart, however, is an irrational organ. No matter how much I knew I was being paranoid and jealous, I still felt the pain and desperation. The difference was that I choked it down and kept it to myself. That's what Dora has to learn to do.
Of course, Doris did eventually cheat on me too, going home with her ex after a "girls' night out," so maybe Dora has a leg to stand on...
