Now that would be pretty unambiguous wouldn't it.
But Marten would never do that.

Unless Faye egged him on...

Or unless Faye beat him to it...
akronnick:
Yeah that would be a career move!

Oh, heck, she'd probably figured she was fired anyways after she smacked Dora over the head with the espresso machine after she told Faye how she'd broken up with Marten.

Quelle dramage!
Cool your jets and see how it plays out, people... don't be so quick to set up Taira, Martigold, Manners or Mambo (and I'll let your brains all dribble out of your ears with that last one).

Damn you all!

Actually, my Total Drama Threshhold has the sequence like this:
1798: Dora at CoD, meltdown/semi-drama with Faye
1799: "You're right, I need to go talk it out with him. We can't leave it like this."
1800: Dora goes back home, Marten (and his stuff) are completely gone, moved out, no note. Pintsize has been left behind, the little traitor.

--- Quote from: Coco on 15 Nov 2010, 12:50 ---My husband is definitely the type to walk away from an argument to regain composure, but I'm the type that when he does this the argument festers and I get angrier and the longer he waits the more I turn myself into an innocent victim and cast him as the villian. Let's hope Dora isn't like that. But to anyone who is calling for their break up, my husband and I have been together for over seven years, married for one and we are still working on these issues. Life is like that. Not every fictional couple can be Bella and Edward with their perfect stalker abusive loving relationship.

My wife and I were much the same. I'd want to cool down, and in the interim she'd continue to boil over. It took a couple of years, but we've learned to channel it differently - rather than leaving to calm myself down, I focus on calming her down first, agreeing that there's a problem, and turning it into a mental exercise to try and get to the root of the problem before either of us gets too heated.
No, it doesn't always work. But it's better than what used to happen!

I like that, it's very good advice. I've been working on stopping the negative thoughts and turning them into positives. It's amazing how silly a fight seems after you take a minute and force yourself to remember what an great life you really have. Then by the time he comes back I'm ready to either apologize and/or accept his apology and move on to solutions.
Six pages were added to the forum since I last looked so I gave up reading by page four. But someone did point out that Dora seems to be self-sabatoging (sp?). This seems to fit into her general character mode. She's extremely insecure, and she has a boyfriend who never gets angry, is always reasonable, and who doesn't even have a creepy fetish! How can Dora keep a man like that? She obviously doesn't deserve him. She better keep poking that bear until he proves he's just as bad as her. Then she can break up with him and save herself the heartache. And if he breaks up with her, that just proves what she always knew, that he was too good for her, perpetuating the cycle of insecurity and dis-trust into her next relationship. It's really very sad and I feel sorry for both of them. I hope this results in some serious thought, conversation and some time off. I always thought underwear-gate was resolved too easily and therefore not truly resolved. Good for Jeph for not allowing that sitcom style ending to stand and to really dive into their issues.
