Summed it up pretty good there, not much to add.
Marten, Marten, Marten... I take back my comment on Dora being tactless... Marten just sprinted past her and kept on going.

--- Quote from: helloandgoodbye on 15 Nov 2010, 20:30 --- They are both at fault here. Not just Dora.

No, they aren't.

I never said that it absolved Dora. I just said that Marten did not handle the situation as well as he could have either.

I think I got the quote tags right. :)
I find this comment intriguing. During the underwear incident I think there were several people who made comments pertaining to the fact that if Marten had handled the situation with Faye better - in other words, remembered to put on some pants - there never would have been an issue. If Marten had just remembered this one little thing, Dora might have not have been so upset about it. Two things though - it was a situation where he saw a panicked friend and didn't think beyond helping comfort her, and it isn't known for sure that Dora still might not have been upset because Faye was in her undies too, and that could have led to things.
I don't understand why it's Marten's responsibility to behave in a reasonable, rational manner and think of all things he should do to make sure Dora is kept happy at all times. He's a person. He's going to have faults. He's going to be angry. He's not going to behave in a reasonable manner. Especially in a fight. Sure, neither party made great choices, but I still say it is Dora's insecurities and her not working on them (even though she said she would) that have really led to this fight.
(And I'm really not trying to bash on Dora here. I get that obviously Marten's got issues too. But I think the underlying cause of all of this is through Dora herself, and it's made worse by her inability to see that.)

--- End quote ---
Absolutely. People CAN change things about themselves if they're unhappy with the way they are. That's the entire purpose of therapy, which she should have been in long before now.

I don't know if this is the funniest thing I've read in this thread so far, or the saddest.
Kazukagii:
I remember somebody making a comment about us having 3 pages in the span of a day? How about 3 pages within the span of 2 hours? We may have broken the Faye sleeping with Sven record.
