Honestly, how can anyone expect their post to be read by more than 2 people before it's "sage'd" 2 pages away. .. or are people ACTUALLY reading every single one of these hundreds and hundreds of posts?

Some people still have an attention span. Throw away your remote control and re-learn how to read, it's OK.

The reason finding who's to blame is useless in a scenario like this is because it doesn't answer any questions. We can conclude it's Dora, and so could all the characters in the comic, but where the fuck does that get anyone? Does it make a solution any more obvious? Only if you consider "DORA'S A STUPID BITCH AND SHE SHOULD BE ALONE FOREVER BECAUSE SHE'S STUPID AND A BITCH!" a solution. Which I don't. In fact, I don't even consider it an accurate statement.
Finding who's to blame should only go as far as figuring out who needs to take steps to fix it, not in terms of finding who to direct anger toward. Dora needs help to overcome the problems that are causing her to hurt herself and the people she loves. Full stop. That's the resolution. No sentencing need be delivered, no one need be doomed to another hundred years of solitude for their transgressions. The problem needs to be fixed, which means it needs to be addressed as "the problem", not "the list of reasons this reflects badly on Dora".

This sums up the situation quite accurately. As some of the posters have pointed out, Dora and Marten both have their own insecurities (Dora more than Marten, but still..), which should be identified and fixed, if they want to have any future on their relationship. The keyword is, as said many times before, discussing, not pointing fingers who's to blame. It seems that for a change Dora admits being wrong (yes, i KNOW the bodylanguage isn't quite saying it, but i still think she means it), but the timing just couldn't be more off. One of the worst things in this kind of situations is to rush to action without letting yourself cool down a bit, because people CAN AND WILL be just as vengeful, petty and agressive as you can imagine, if given a chance to be.
As for asking, does the possible breakup make me sad? Yes it does, because despite their stormy nature of their relationship, think they complete each other. I find it kinda odd, that some people mistake "making an effort" to "being completely spineless". The easy way out would be the "screw this"-option, thou it wouldn't be like Marten to just give up, because even with all of the fighting, he genuinely seems to still love Dora. I am NOT approving the incident with private issues, that was DEAD wrong from Dora, but still, people do make mistakes now and then. They just have to ask themselves, is this worth it.
Hopefully my ramblings weren't too incoherent to read, i just had the feeling that i gotta express my opinion in this.
And skewbrow, goddamnit, now i got Placebo's Pure Morning stuck in my head nonstop, aaagh! :roll:
(woah, a wall of replies hitted before me, i just gotta learn how to type faster {or think faster})

Just the people engaged in arguments.

I've read every post.
I have no idea whats wrong with me other than the being generally OCD.
As a comment, knowing who overstepped (who is to "blame") can be useful, but doesn't need to be dwelt upon, and doesn't need to be seen as the ONLY problem. People have to be responsible for their actions. How can they do that if they are never held accountable for any of it? (hence blamed).
That being said... trying to dole out blame while pissed is probably a horrible idea. They both needed a moment to compose themselves first. Part of identifying a problem is figuring out WHERE the problem came from, yes, why they acted that way is important, but first you have to identify the problem behavior in order to try and explain and deal with it. So this idea that blame is pointless is imo just ignorant.
@Wiregeek, that was kind of dickish man. Its a shit ton of reading, I did it, but I don't see anyone who doesn't have the urge to do the same as somehow deficit. Hell, I shouldn't be reading all of this. I have other things in my life I should be doing than reading crazed debates on fictional characters in a webcomic. Get your head out of your ass man.
