--- 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.
JEPH IF YOU HAVE CAMERAS IN MY HOUSE I AM GOING TO FIND THEM AND PUT MY NUTS ON THEM.

Life sucks for you, doesn't it? LOLZ

no, my life is freaking awesome. Lack of a warm wet hole to stick my wing-wong in isn't even a minor buzzkill.
still a little worried about those cameras though.. :roll:

window into Dora's past relationships

perhaps she has always been selfless with her past relationships and got burned on them and this time around she is no longer being selfless?

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.
--- End quote ---
No one can 'force your hand'. You can choose to get angry or choose to stay calm.
In a relationship, blaming one or the other does absolutely nothing helpful.
If my partner came in and calmly told me they were really disappointed in me and why, it would be ten times more devastating and more effective than 'What the hell?'.
They both need to calm down and start talking about feelings. And *then* how they can prevent stuff like this in the future.

Sorry another first time post from a lurker.
I really think this argument comes down to privacy and respect for boundaries. Martin has, for the most part, been nothing but patient and supportive of Dora, accepting her faults and trust issues in a patient way that makes Ghandi look overly aggressive. This is a situation where he asked Dora twice, first directly and then through humor to respect his privacy and she completely ignored him. I do not believe Martin is overreacting, he is rightfully upset that the person he loves thinks so little of him that she cannot be bothered to respect even the most minor of his wishes.
I can only imagine how this story would have been written had Dora taken a different path with her curiosity, but it would undoubtedly worked out better for her. Imagine if she had simply asked Martin to watch his porn with her as a form of foreplay or just given him the space to make decision and respect his emotions when he made it. This fight wouldn't have happened and the relationship wouldn't be a hairsbreadth away from falling apart.
The worst part of this is I have, up to recently, been a huge Dora fan. I thought her and Martin were good together, but with her trust issues becoming so large and her character taking offense to anything Martin does no matter how innocuous has made me hope this ends and that the characters move forward to develop more depth.

Dora doesn't want a boyfriend, she wants a doormat.
