Ok! Dump her ass!

tuxedobob:
I'm mostly disappointed that today's strip was entirely predictable after seeing the last panel in yesterday's strip.

I'm also disappointed because Dora doesn't strike me as this strong, and neither Marten nor Faye strike me as this weak. Faye especially I would expect to snap and just yell SHUT UP! at Dora.

IanClark:
I honestly think you guys are blowing this out of proportion. Almost every single person in existence has at least one issue like this, and it is usually every bit this severe. Mine is that I can't take being lied to.

The measure of any relationship isn't whether or not things like this happen, it's how they're dealt with when they do (and it is when, not if). If they can navigate through this smoothly within maybe 48 hours and if Marten makes it clear that this can't be a regular occurrence (and Dora complies), then the relationship is still a healthy one by any reasonable standards. Bear in mind that for all the times Dora's jealousy has been a problem for her relationship with Marten, not once has he ever said anything to the effect of "Your jealousy is starting to become a problem and I can't keep dealing with it forever." I get the feeling that by the time this is all said and done, that will have been said, and it's what comes after that that defines the relationship, not whether or not Dora has a single major issue.

Jealousy is a serious personality flaw, but so is having high standards for the people around you. If you completely reject someone over a single issue that you haven't even brought up with them, then you are doing the very same thing you are bemoaning the jealous person for: hurting those around you to further your own unrealistic expectations of what is acceptable. Just as Dora is causing undue grief to Marten and Faye, so would Marten be inflicting upon Dora if he made the decision to break up with her before confronting her. If she refuses to change, or is unable to change, then Marten would be in the right to end things with her, but until that is made apparent, the best thing to do is ride the situation out and be assertive.

Love is a bond you share with someone, not an assessment of their worth. If you can't forgive someone a flaw and help them to work through it, then you are not in love, and the chance of that ever changing with someone different diminishes significantly.

Edit: I want to clarify that by "you guys" I don't mean all of you collectively. I just mean those who are being unduly judgmental.

ThisMortalSoil:
I was a little shocked by Dora's reaction at first, but then came to the forum and remembered her insecurity in the past. While I ultimately hope that Marten and Faye will be together someday, I hope that this is just a rough patch and that Dora and Marten will get through it

lunchmeat:
Damn, you guys are taking this really seriously.

Too seriously.

Faye and Dora should get into a fight - like, some John Woo-style shit. It'll be like the fight between Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu in Kill Bill, only more epic because instead of swords they will have LASER SWORDS

Marten will, initially, be altruistic and try to reconcile everyone's problems by interceding in the fight, but Steve will make him realize that girl fights with LASER SWORDS are awesome

Pintsize will record the entire thing and upload it to Youtube

Of course at the end of all this there will be an obligatory orgy between all of the QC characters. Crisis averted.

Josefbugman:
Tbh I like the pairings that are going on now (but then I specifically didn't read the first 500 comics) and I hope this is a minor blip that will be sorted, I'll be very sad if it doesn't.

That and the fact that yeah, this has to be sorted quickly otherwise it just makes no sense, and as daft as Dora can sometimes be about stuff like this? Well I do hope she realises she's being daft.
