Hear hear! I am in definite agreement with you on that!
Kugai:
And at this point Dora will be kidnapped by a group of rampaging Canadians

I totally agree muffin_of_chaos
--- Quote ---I think that Marten's obviously not happy with Dora. Maybe Dora has been picking up on it, so maybe she's not quite as paranoid as she seems.

I saw this before also. I am actually quite scared for them, this could easily become a huge issue. It will depend on how they handle the situation. Obviously Marten is unhappy in the relationship. Can anyone name the other "fights" they've had, I can only think of two 1) The current one 2) The underwear fight.
I hope if Marten is unhappy he just breaks up with Dora. It wouldn't be fair to "string her along" so to speak. For example, his *sigh* when in bed because either he was upset he missed his opportunity with Faye or that he wanted a relationship like she was developing. If this is the case and his feeling unsatisfied it would be logical for him to break up with her, even if he does care for her, as ultimately it's not her issues (alone at least) that are the problem, it's that their relationship isn't what he wanted.
I kind of agree that his an apathetic guy, goes with the flow. This said I disagree completely with the notion that he only "went with Dora" because he couldn't get Faye. Someone before mentioned that because she asked him out, therefore he was not attracted to her. Um, no! That's slightly sexist to say the least. A girl can ask a guy out and they can go on to have a happy relationship. He wouldn't of said yes had he not been attracted to her. They wouldn't have gone on to date for a few MONTHS had he NOT been attracted to her! If you are not attracted to someone, I find it difficult to believe you would have a relationship beyond a few weeks. Also what's the link between a girl asking a guy out and therefore a guy is not attracted to the girl? Ridiculous!

I disagree. I don't see how Dora's insecurities caused this fight at all. After all, it was Marten who brought up her insecurities. The main thing was that she wasn't respecting his privacy.
This is different than the underwear incident in that Marten did not think about putting on pants. It was not calculated at all. This time he purposely attacked Dora's insecurities because he was angry with her.
If you're going to argue that Marten doesn't have right to always be rational, then you can argue the same thing for Dora.
While I agree that Dora was mostly at fault in the Faye-Marten Underwear Incident, I disagree that she's just as much at fault here.

Dora insecurity didn't start the fight. As you said, during the underwear incident, he just didn't think about not putting pants. But in this case, she deliberately went against Marten's will to check his porn folder, not listening to him saying no. He trusted her enough to have her live with him, and even presumably gave her his laptop password, thinking that she could be trusted. She had no reason whatsoever to go check his porn folder after he told everyone that it was private! It's like someone saying: I don't want to talk about my sexual orientation (Mika for exemple) and then go ask everyone he knows for more details. She didn't find the porn on accident trying to comfort her best friend, she went against her lover desire to check something as trivial as his porn folder, knowing beforehand that it would be kinda dull ("No, you're WAY too whitebread to be into anything THAT weird." Notice the CAPITALS?).
I don't even think he was wrong about bringing her insecurities into the argument. Maybe he did it wrong, but when he says "And I'm sick of your apologies!", he means that it's not the first time she screws up, and she keeps doing it and doing it again. I don't think it's been even a year since they started dating, it's not like those things she does happen once every other year...
