^No, it actually was a big deal.

Thank you.

Personally, I think this will end up strengthening the relationship and relieving a lot of tension between the two of them. Which would be like Kryptonite to the Dora's-a-miserable-cunt crowd.

You know, she's the one providing the ammo for that.

If he'd taken the time to actually talk to Dora about his frustration after the last fight they could have avoided this escalation.
As for Dora, her reaction to his overreaction is too dramatic and a bit silly. Fights happen in relationships, and when they get bad hurtful things are said. Take a timeout, go cool off, but that's certainly not "it then".
I hope this arc ends with Martin realizing that being a nice guy doesn't mean ignoring problems and repressing your anger until it explodes and Dora (and half the forum) realizing that the Sword of Damocles isn't hanging over their relationship just waiting for the first chance to end things.

But what people have been saying is that if this were all that had happened, it wouldn't be all that big a deal and would be an overreaction. But it's not. I'm not saying soulless manipulative bitch, but her blowup over the pantsless Faye episode would have had me seriously considering a relationship with her if it'd been me. The not bothering to listen to him or take him seriously adds more fuel to the fire, and then the nerve to turn it back on him and call him a prick because he got mad is more than enough fuel for a s***storm. No, looking at Marten's porn isn't that big a deal. But the whole of her behavior toward him of late is a very big deal, it's not a little thing, and it was pretty wrong to do to a S.O.

The thing is that I just don't see it. She doesn't strike me as manipulative at all. Just a girl who has some insecurity issues she needs to get sorted out.
-sigh- But I guess some people need a scapegoat...
