Is Sven really a slut at heart?

Where are they all?

I have to agree with those three incidents.  They do point up a lot of Sven's weaknesses and faults. 

They're also all things I've done myself, to some extent.  Nothing like Sven, but cheating about something, lying to others (and myself) and commiting offensive strikes when upset are pretty universal. 

And to top it off, I think Dora could use a reconciliation with him - it may help with some of her  issues.  Coming to terms with how badly he  treated her may shed some light on her other relationship insecurities...

raoullefere:
Ye Worde about Dora. And if, perchance, she's exaggerated Sven's activities (I really don't think she has, but you never know), that, too, would be helpful for Dora in the long run.

Is it cold in here?:
There's been foreshadowing: Dora has talked about getting therapy, and of all the things it might cover she specifically mentioned relations with her brother.

peterh:
Oh, but I think anyone will agree that Sven piles fault upon weakness upon fault. And yes, I was rather pissed at any of the incidents Raoul mentions... especially the first, that was just lame.

In other news, I *know* (firsthand) that it helps a huge deal if you understand WHY someone's been treating you like shit during your formative years - if you actually understand the processes that led to this behaviour. That understanding brings you a great deal further than any apology, even if it's a sincere one. "What exactly was it that led to him treating my like crap?" If you understand that, then you also understand that it wasn't you.

The apology is instrumental in case of a reconciliation, but the understanding comes first. Has to come first.

Sven can only help her with that if he would understand, or even try to understand, it himself.
That migth be an interesting process for the both of them. But Dora has a head start: motivatiion. She WANTS to fix it already. Sven may only just be making the first steps of discovering that.

jwhouk:
People can talk about going into therapy all they want. Until they actually get help, it's about as useless as... well, those things that Carl and Raoul are holding.
