--- Quote from: Wiregeek on 16 Nov 2010, 08:13 ---Heh, now if Marten asks Dora to listen to him and she tells him off, because he gets to listen to her, not the other way around, this will be almost identical to my last relationship.
huh.

Hooray for my impeccable reading skills! Well either way, I was just being silly. ;) Hopefully, I didn't come across as mean-obnoxious...rather, just obnoxious.
I guess sometimes we'll just have to fill in the blanks ourselves.
LeeC:
nah you didnt perhaps I should have added a hahaha or a smiley as I thought your post was funny :laugh:

--- Quote from: Moxie on 16 Nov 2010, 07:41 ---Yes, Dora and Marten have terrible communication, but it's never going to improve as long as Marten won't actually stand up for himself when he is upset at the time and as long as Dora continues to assume she knows how this all is going to play out rather than actually paying attention to what she's got.

I really think more of the latter. That's not 'blaming' Dora—it's just that no matter how much Marten expresses himself, as long as Dora is seeing this relationship in terms of her past ones, his communications aren't going to do much good.
One thing no one has mentioned is that Dora is in a scary place right now. So far as we know, Marten is the first guy she's moved in with. I think that may have been a mistake—she moved too fast because on some level she thought she 'ought' to. Now she may well feel trapped, torn between her hopes and some glimmer of what's actually happening between her and Marten and her experience-based expectations, which are fueled by low self-esteem. I said something earlier about Dora moving out, and I think she may well need this—some distance so she can think things through. But that will only happen if she gives up this idea that the relationship can't work, not that it simply has problems, like every relationship. To wit, she needs help.
Those who keep insisting Dora is a Stephen Stills Solution* for Marten seem to be ignoring the fact that he was interested in Dora before The Talk. His hesitation in pursuing her after said talk would have been, I suspect, largely based on not giving Dora the impression that she was second best. I can't recall, but I think somewhere this is borne out.

Far away. Far, far away.
--- Quote from: Odal on 16 Nov 2010, 03:08 ---Prediction: Dora will go back to CoD and get all emotional with Faye around. Then after work she'll go see Sven and they'll both talk to each other about how much their lives suck. Sven because he thought he was making progress towards being a better person but got shot down by Faye. Dora because she's always had to work to make a relationship last with her past douchebags and now she's doing a fine job of destroying the one person who she's not had to bend over backwards for. Dora will get upset with Sven initially, because she's upset that he's never had to try to get women, while she's had the opposite.

This post was going well up to this point. Whatever you ingested, snorted, or injected before coming up with the rest is a thing you need to avoid in the future…perhaps by sending your supply to me. See this for why I need it.
*Love the One You're With
Warning - while you were reading more replies than this system cares to count have been posted, all with better or at least wilder ideas than these pathetic ramblings. Surrender now! Yes, now, fool, before I stop fooling around and…
ahem
You may wish to review your post.

--- Quote from: eyosgkxb on 16 Nov 2010, 08:30 ---Marten doesn't have to stay with her, he's just coming to understand that she is unchanging in her respect to him as a partner. He said it, "And I'm sick of your apologies!, this wasn't a make or break the relationship problem until this point, that's completely on Marten for dealing with it quietly until this point. She's forcing his hand at this point though by responding angrily to a problem she generated.

You really believe that in the heat of the discussion he honestly believes that? Ok, let's say he did really meant to say that. what has he(or have they) done to work out Dora's issues, since their last discussion? They just say: "it's okay everyone has issues, we can work it out" and then? Nothing, not a serious talk about it, nothing...
