No, Sven's a Villain! Pure VILLAIN I tell you! ;)

Seriously, though, my take on the Sven-Faye fling is that Faye found out the hard way that she can't do casual/FB sex, no matter how much she may want to. It has to be within the context of a full romantic relationship, which at that point she was not able to handle either. She would have been better off with with a dildo. Or a RealDoll.

As for the latest revelation about Dora, well, now I'm REALLY worried for Marten having learned that. I've known women like Dora who run through a string of assholes, and if/when they start dating a decent guy, one out of two things tend to happen;

- they run the guy off with their baggage

- they get bored with the relatively drama-free relationship with the decent guy and cheat on HIM-usually with yet another asshole

It's rare that they actually manage to handle their own past-relationship baggage well enough to appreciate the guy and keep him around.

Yeah, but she also used another person to find this out, and one who was far less ok with being in a casual FB relationship than she projected onto him. (Especially when the "no sleeping wth other people" totally took it beyond the bounds of FB/casual relationships without offering any of the benefits of real romantic committment.)  Admittedly, like Faye herself, Sven didn't understand the full extend of his feelings until things were over, but the entire arrangement was her idea, and Sven was pretty much just going along with it because he was into her and this was the only option she provided. In which case I have far more sympathy for him than for her.  It always felt like he was joking it all off, but basically was caught up in her and couldn't stand his ground to say "no, I don't want this if it's not a real relationship" because he didn't want to lose what he had. (And because due to his past exploits, it was hard for him to admit that just-fun sex with a cute girl wasn't "enough" all in itself--he was a guy after all, and that's what guys want!--and Faye certainly reinforced the idea that he should think that.)

Fortunately, Dora has Faye around to give her a swift kick in the ass if she starts to self-sabotage, or projects her baggage onto Marten, which she expressed he willingness and ability to do in Thursday's strip.

And if Faye doesn't get the job done, there's always Hanner-hulk!

4. She continued to see him, all the while ignoring signs and suggestions that he was falling for her, and insisting that not only did he mean nothing to her except a roll in the hay, but that she didn't even want to hang out with him in public/with her other friends, treating him as a dirty little secret.
5. All the same she demanded that though it was not gonna be a relationship, he should not sleep with anyone else.

When Faye and Sven started their thing, I thought it was going to be good for both of them. And yes, Faye did everything you said, but, you seem to have forgotten this, when Faye tries to move things in a different direction, and then this lovely philosophy, followed by this. (yes, he's being funny, but it worked out that way, too, didn't it? And Sven didn't take the opportunity to try to make Faye redefine things if she wanted fidelity.) , this, and this. Even I would know*  she's asking for some sign he gives a damn—his answer indicates otherwise.

I still think Faye chose Sven because she didn't think it could go anywhere, and she probably was unhappy that it did. But how can anyone save for some super-confident ball-buster who's damned and determined she and Sven will be an item, come hell or high water, face up to all that and not be a tad defensive? I wouldn't treat a dog like that, and I detest dogs. (Sorry, Shelby.)

Oh, yeah, what about this ? Actually, it's got nothing to do with my argument—I just noticed again how hot Hanners looks in the grip of a deathly illness. Again. Share and enjoy, I say.

*Way back when.

Taigan:
Sven, the only thing you did really wrong with Faye was sleeping with that GIna Riversmith chick, and YOU KNEW IT WAS WRONG AT THE TIME!

How would "Cliff Notes" have helped that?
