It's not that most of us "assume" the worst- what we do see is a pattern of behavior, especially recently, that Dora herself has put forward. We want to assume the best, but when, time and time again, we are proven wrong, what can we do?

Do you honestly think Dora has the capacity to cease what has been in her fundamental character?

This whole thread is TL;DR. And by that I mean anyone who reads all these posts deserves a fucking medal. And don't ask me, all you'll get is left over silver Hanukkah gelt coins from last year XD. At any rate, here's my 2 cents which will prolly be ignored completely, awash in a sea of drama and crunchy cheetos (don't ask me how I know, i just do).


EVERYONE has been there. You're arguing with someone for the first time or the millionth time, lover, friend, stranger, relative, whatever. Doesn't matter who or what. What's important is you've had that argument a million times before, and each time you've always conceded, abdicated, always let the other person have the benefit of the doubt, put yourself on the backburner and sacrifice your backbone to the gods of peace and harmony. No matter how stubborn or headstrong you are, there's that time that you always bend for the other person, ESPECIALLY in relationships. And then one day you feel like you've had it. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! IS ENOUGH!! I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!! WEERE NOT GOOONA TAAAKE IIIIT,....  and so on. And then it hits you in the face that you grew a backbone at the absolute WORST time. You're so blinded with pent up persecution anger that anything the other person says is just more manipulation to get their way, and you missed out on a genuine moment of communication. Nice going dipshit!

We all feel like that and sometimes it's justified

.. but usually it's not. I guess the lesson (if there is one) is that even if EVERY SINGLE FIBER IN YOUR BODY IS 1000% POSITIVE that you're right and they're wrong, you still need to give them the benefit of the doubt. .. unless they're actually stabbing you at the time.


Oh, and as far as this being it for them ... DUDE! Come OOOoooon. It's gonna take something far worse than this to break them up. This might weaken their bond enough for that bad thing to break them up, but .. nah, man, come on.

rje:

 I actually haven't seen that many people who are actively calling Dora a bitch, just a few more saying that she's not in the right, but the number of people really saying she's terrible through and through and they need to break up seems to be in the minority...but then again, I haven't read through all the pages.

For what it's worth don't count me in that number. I love her to death, because I can empathize with her problems and flaws, and she's very real. She's still so so wrong here though. But if Marten goes after her to apologize and smooth things over without actually forcing a real, raw discussion then he's going to be in the wrong too (or maybe more making a really bad decision.) Just kickin' that can on down the road...

Is it cold in here?:
Agreed that this is salvageable. Dora seems to come down from her little episodes fairly quickly. She could easily talk herself into ruining things, of course.

EDIT: rie is right. The worst thing Marten could do now (and the most in character) would be to kiss and make up without actual *communication*.

KOODustin:
Dora seems like a Katherine Heigl kinda character.  You know, the sort of attitude just about every one of her characters possesses.  That whole "I'm a bitch, but it's okay for me to be a bitch!" thing.
