Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Ok! Dump her ass!
KOODustin:
I have to agree with the OP. You can say we take this "too seriously", but what's the point of posting if you're not going to discuss it? Are we all supposed to blow sunshine up eachother's asses and have a big circle jerk about how awesome these really well crafted characters are as people? No, fuck that. We're passionate about the comic, so shut your dismissive ass.
ANYwhoooo.... Yeah, there's just NO way I could stand being in a relationship with someone who's shown repeatedly that they don't trust me, despite my absolute faithfulness, complete devotion, and in Marten's case, practical submissiveness with her. Especially when that person gets pissed over little things like a haircut. Dora IS a really well made and believable character. But for the life of me, I cannot see what Marten see's in her AT ALL. Yeah. She's hot in her own way when she's not being a first class, grade-A bitch, but if I had my integrity as man and someone you supposedly love called into question repeatedly with clearly NO attempt to see any other side to the situation or no attempt to even change that aspect about yourself then what is the point? What's the point of going through a relationship terrified of every little thing because the girl you're with could just go off like a banshee at any moment? A relationship is not a fucking minefield. I've known women like Dora. Women who get pissed and filled with their self righteous indignation that they won't even bother to hear your side, because how could they be wrong? The "I'm yelling the loudest, so I win" mentality. Yeah, Dora may come around later, but not before terrorizing and putting the people she claims to care about through hell. To say that people calling for a break up don't know what it's like in a committed relationship is downright ignorant. I mean, seriously, if you act that way in your relationships, you deserve to be alone.

For me, this would be the straw that breaks the camels back. Even if for some idiotic reason I were to stay in the relationship for as long as Marten has and put up with all her crap, this would do it for me. Whether or not this is how anybody would react is inconsequential... what matters is the fact that this stupidity with Dora happen too frequently, and I have NEVER actually seen this be Marten's fault.
Honestly, this kind of brings out why Dora is my least favorite character. In fact, I rather dislike her. She becomes this heinous witch when things don't go her way or she thinks she sees something that isn't really there and she goes crazy, then realizes she's made a mistake and gets all apologetic. Lather, rinse, repeat.
It's been more than three strikes and she's been given more than enough chances. If I were in his shoes and wasn't super submissive like he is, I'd let her go to work in the morning to open up her coffee shop. Throw all her personal belongings in the parking lot outside, change the locks on the door. Indignant and simultaneously ignorant behavior drives me up a wall.

Damn. You guys are harsh.
I find that Dora is usually a likable character. She's generally pretty friendly, and it seems that Marten and her get along the majority of the time. Yes, she can be unreasonable, but she realizes this. In fact, every time she has apologized, and I recall her telling Faye that she's trying to work on her jealousy issues.
Dora does not act like a bitch 24/7, and I don't think Marten and her should break up. If she apologizes and opens up to Marten about her jealousy issues, then I think everything will work out okay.

Remind me why divorce is so common now as to be considered normal.
Everyone has their quirks; a degree of tolerance, understanding, and eventually help, is necessary to stable marriage - and in the end, society.

Agreed, but where is the line drawn? There is quirkiness... and then there is major baggage and just plain intolerable INSANITY. If she said she was gonna work on her issues, she should work on them. THIS is not working on them. This is falling back into the same slump again and again.
