I left this forum at a mere 3 pages, went home from work and studiously ignored the computer in favour of my family and when I get back I find that we're now at nine flippin' pages!
At this time I will refrain from repeating what the saner heads have already spoken - namely that both parties have contributed to this situation, and that a relationship is not a "He/She's at fault!" game - learn that and you may have a shot at happiness with another person.
And to use a standard diversion of the conversation - Are we all looking forward to the annual turkey strip?

Also, while Dora may have said "that's it," what I meant was more along the lines of, I could see them STAYING broken up. For good. Rather than Dora taking it back, and Marten apologizing (like usually happens, except without Dora saying "that's it.")

Not only Americans (although i guess you were refering to North Americans) but the whole human race acts like that. And that's just.... pretty sad.....
Interesting fact!
Of this 9 pages, they were posted 17 psyducks!

More than just the human race- other primates and such mammals have been known to form social cliques and scapegoat as well, such as the bathing monkeys of Jigokudani. It's because mammals are inherently not a naturally studious and hardworking form of creature. If a bear can find a way to laze around all day, it will. Thus, instead of studiously working to find solutions to problems, we as mammals have the tendency to seek quick and easy answers. Thus is borne the instinct to scapegoat.

Basically, Marten told Dora she's being a dick, and she didn't like hearing that. Hearing that she could do something wrong. So she breaks it off, before it comes to the point where she'll have to admit that she's the only one to blame for it this time.
All her previous boyfriends were cheating dicks, as we learned. That makes is somewhat easier to break up with them. Marten never really did anything like that, or even something remotely bad.
It seems like this is Dora's first time dealing with the fact that someone else has valid reasons not to like her character.
