I'd like to think that, as a character, Marten's not that one dimensional. Most real people have pretty diverse taste in attractiveness.

I guess maybe I'm not that real. My current girlfriend vaguely resembles my first ever crush. She isn't the only one I've dated or crushed on since that first one who fit a fairly recognisable template. It wasn't intentional, I'm just hard-wired for a fairly narrow range of characteristics. Obviously that isn't the only thing I like about the girls I date, but I just don't get that initial spark of interest in people who don't check the boxes.

Honestly, that's not something I can understand. Weird.

I think you're reading too much into things.
There are problems with the relationship. Problems that need to be worked out if they're going to move forward, but I don't see either one of them as actively pursuing an end to things.

The facial expressions tell me a lot. The fact that they both seem to be using something trivial as an excuse to fight tells me even more. Dora could have just let it go, and not raided his laptop. She had to know he wouldn't be pleased. Her expression when he got home said she knew he wasn't pleased. Marten could have done his usual impression of an invertebrate. Both of them deliberately turned this into a fight.
AnAverageWriter:
Well, congratulations, Dora.
You have managed to, over the sake of your own faux pas, "end it" with Marten.
Marten, the kindest, most patient, most tolerant guy that YOU will ever find. A man who was willing to work through your temper tantrums, through your insane jealousy and try to make things work.
And all because you refuse to respect the clearly stated privacy of the person you claimed to love. Heck, he even gave you a chance after that, and you blew it like a cop-spiked tire. Slammed the door shut, no less!
Marten will move on. Will find someone better. But you? You won't find anyone like him. He's got the maturity to find better, the capacity to listen you lack, and none of the baggage you so lovingly force upon those who consider themselves your friend.
You and your purple hair have, for the sake of a baffling need to be right, sabotaged the most healthy relationship you will ever have.
Hope yer proud of yourself!

Former-lurker-now-new-poster here (I've tried to join a couple times before, but I never got a confirmation email until this time HOORAY). ANYWAY.
Not jumping on the "hate Dora" bandwagon, but that is seriously NOT an apology. That's not even close. Walking in with an offended attitude and saying basically "I'm sorry that you're so sensitive about this," is not an attitude of actual remorse. Marten is also completely within rights to be sick of apologies that aren't anything more than words. I just really hope that Marten sticks to his guns this time and doesn't sprint after her to try and apologize; I'd like to see them both cool off and then come back and talk about it because that would actually be DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM instead of slapping an endorphin-and-sex bandaid on a pretty serious set of emotional rifts.
