Plus, you gotta figure, Marty's still got some of that simpering-fury leftover from the last time Dora was a bitch. At least this time he gave her a direct statement before taking his ball and going home. Quite a feat since he's already home. Why ain't this kid making his asshole girlfriend get the hell out when she pulls this shit? Why's he always the one leaving? He hasn't DONE anything. He NEVER does anything.

Uh... he didn't leave. He went into the bedroom. Take a look at the door behind them in the half-frame before the SLAM!.

--- Quote from: JackFaerie on 14 Nov 2010, 23:00 ---WHOA, Dora. That... is so not ok. Snooping on a partner's computer is generally not ok, but when said partner has expressly said he was not comfortable with sharing that and considered it private, to just go and wholly and immediately disregard that? WHOA.

totally agree here. Marten is in the right IMHO. I would act the same way, granted my girlfriend is aware of the porn I like. But if its something he doesnt want to talk about or for her to know out of embarrassment or because he likes to keep it private, she should not be going out of her way and doing it anyways.
Dora has flipped out at him over lesser things, but I know if the roles were reversed and say Marten did something Dora explicitly asked him not to she would be just as, if not more so angry.
@Steve the Pocket: its not the fact that she now knows what kind of porn he likes, but the fact he wanted to keep it private, and she kind of broke their trust by doing it anyways.

--- Quote from: Steve the Pocket on 14 Nov 2010, 22:57 ---Am I the only one who is totally lost as to why Marten doesn't want his committed girlfriend, whom he has already had sex with countless times, from seeing his porn collection? Hell, from the way they were talking on Friday, I was afraid she was going to pull it up with Faye right there. That would have been over the line.
For that matter, are we assuming this is the first time this porn has seen the light of day in quite some time? Because, to my mind, it's kinda bad form to date a real person and keep seeing Rosie Palms on the side (exeptions made for touching yourself to porn of your significant other, or memories of them, or whatever). But I'm really the wrong person to ask about such things. Maybe y'all can clue me in on how things work these days and make me a less-wrong person.

That's.... not how it works for most people I know at all. Being in a relationship has no effect on porn-watching... everyone I know still watches porn whether or not they are dating someone. I don't see what the problem is: if I'm dating someone I don't seem them 24/7 anyway, and it's only an issue if they're watching porn when I am right there and they're actively ignoring me in favor of it.
And for many people I know porn is something very personal, as well. It has to do with your most intimate fantasies--and sometimes fantasies that are very different from what you want to have in your actual sexlife, which may be hard for other people to understand. Having sex with someone, once or multiple times, doesn't mean you are comfortable sharing THAT information about you... because you'd have to not just utterly trust them, but also trust them not to ever mock or belittle or in any way scoff at your preferences, and the thing is, that's often the go-to reaction of people seeing someone else's porn.

Holy cow, I was actually right, it WAS a test on Martin's part.
I get the impression that Martin is looking for a truly one-sided event to drive home to Dora that she needs to respect him more. All the stuff previously in their relationship struggles, Martin's been at fault to some degree AND there's been mitigating circumstances. This is different- the line was drawn, Dora crossed it, and nothing made her do it. Prediction: Martin backs down at the last moment from a complete ultimatum, but he'll probably make Dora shed tears first, and then he'll discuss stuff. If she'll let him.
Healthy? Nope, but I never claimed it was.
I don't think it's likely they'll break up. But the possibility is more real now than ever. Let's face it, if Martin's the one slamming doors, the only one left to put stuff back together is Hanners. And Dora might not trust her completely with the Svenanigans.

He left the room.
So it's gonna be a hot time in the Ol' 'Serious Pony Discussion Forum' this week, I hope everyone sharpened their dick-brooms (or whatever one does to a UBMEOD to make it slightly less (or more, if that's how you swing) useless :wink: )
And for the record, Marten has a right to be mad here. His SO went ahead and did something that he specifically asked her not to do.
But...
I don't think anybody needs to dump anybody right now.
[1950's educational film]
You see kids, when two grown-ups are in a relationship that's even half-way serious, they, from time to time, do things that piss the other one off.
Then they fight. As they fight, they get to know each other better. Sometimes they find things out about each other that they just can't live with, like the other one is a communist or is secretly a mafia informant or enjoys giving anonymous blow jobs to strangers hiding in the bushes of the down-town park every Thursday night. But most of the time, it's stupid shit like stop forgetting to put the toothpaste cap back on or forgetting to put the toilet lid down or leaving her bras hanging from the shower curtain.
When that happens they yell at each other for a time and then they get over it.
And then they get to have make-up sex...
[/1950's educational film] that's quite enough of that...
I don't think this is a hanging offense, as it were. He's gonna be mad, she's gonna say she's sorry, and then they'll talk about why what she did bothers him.
And then there will be cookies...
It's what the grown-ups do.
