Ok! Dump her ass!
Switchblade:
got to be honest here... the people clamouring for a breakup are just demonstrating that they don't know what it takes to make a real relationship work.

Pardon me if any or all of this sounds like it's right out of a Glenn Beck show, I hope I'm not invalidating my IQ score by stating this:
Part of the reason Dora's reaction pisses me off (a lot) is because of a perception that many MANY people have, both men and women. The perception is that the woman in a relationship is entitled to be as unreasonable as possible because (a) "that's just how women are" and (b) she "holds all the cards" and it's up to the guy to beg, plead, obey, kiss up, etc. You don't see TV ads with women staring at hot guys and then their husband or boyfriend looking at them with contempt as their woman tries to explain. There are A LOT of men who in Marten's situation would probably spend whole days begging and pleading for the wife/gf to forgive him, as well as women who feel like it's their duty to act like Dora is. Switch genders and you have a Lifetime movie.
I guess it shouldn't bug me but it does. So if you're wondering why I'm being so trollbait butthurt over a comic, trust me it's not that, it's the society of humanity that it's reflecting.

I think it's time for Marten and Dora to sit down and for Marten to spell out to Dora that her behavior is ridiculous and not acceptable. You have to remember: this isn't the first time Dora's freaked out over what wasn't a big deal.
First time was when Faye and Sven hooked up. Dora has unresolved self-worth issues and sibling rivalry issues, and this let Marten know about them. Free pass for Dora as long as she calmed down and talked about it, which she did.
Second time was when Marten mentioned still having feelings for all of his exes. Because of Dora's self-worth issues, she also has jealousy issues. Marten calmed her down and they discussed it.
Those two might be backwards or even conflated as part of the same fight, I don't really remember.
Third time was when she found out about Cosette asking Marten out. Dora had already acknowledged her jealousy issues, and eventually realized that she needed to deal with those.
This is the fourth time. Obviously, that "intent to change" didn't stick. However, this *was* a slightly bigger deal than Cosette, as Faye is one of the girls Marten still has feelings for and there really isn't any way that finding them hugging in their underwear is going to look good right off. From what we've seen, though, they didn't get the chance to explain without Dora cutting them off and yelling some more. If she doesn't calm down and take the initiative to apologize, then yes, Marten probably *should* look into an ultimatum - get help or get out. Marten and Faye did nothing wrong aside from maybe make a poor decision about whether to get dressed before/while discussing things.
