--- Quote from: JackFaerie on 06 Oct 2010, 15:32 ---That wasn't Sven's doing, it was Faye's. Sven invited her out to the movies and to do something else a few times, she always shot him down. That wasn't his inability to be friendly with a woman he was having sex with, that was Faye's discomfort with the possibility of Sven being anything but a warmblooded sexbot for her use. I still feel her behavior was extremely dehumanizing and belittling there.

What's dehumanizing and belittling is assuming that she wouldn't be hurt by the situation, and should act like nothing's wrong. For someone who is traumatized like Faye, trusting men is a big deal. She opened up, and got hurt. BADLY. Expecting her to continue to hang out with him and act like nothing is wrong is pouring salt in the wound she feels, and acting like her feelings don't matter.

--- End quote ---
The difference is that Marten would probably tend to act protective toward Hannelore (if only by him channeling the protective nature of Faye and Dora toward her), whereas I can see Sven encouraging Hannelore to make bold moves in advancing her personal interactions and potentially seeking real dates.

Yeah, but when you were young, it was more like "Ye Olde Re-lationnshippe!"

Personally, I think a relationship with Angus will help her get over that. Of course, if she knew of how much Sven was suffering, it'd be even more helpful... ;)
