Ach. All this white knighting for Dora is driving me mad. She deserves any misery she gets. She hooked up with a guy RIGHT after her friend basically told him "No dice!" and has spent the entirety of the relationship being paranoid. She moved in with Faye and Marten so her insecure ass could keep a closer watch on them because she probably felt they were fucking around behind her back. She jumps to conclusions and disrespects those around her, and somehow SHE'S the poor baby here?! No! That isn't how this works! You don't get sympathy when your entire relationship is based on this crazed FEAR that you can't let go! You don't get sympathy when you do NOTHING to take steps towards getting better! She refused to get her head straightened on and Marten didn't feel like putting up with it anymore. Let's ignore all of Dora's flaws because Marten told it as it was. Yeah, that doesn't play, boys and girls.
I hope they stay apart. There's no reconciling this nor SHOULD there be. How could Marten EVER trust this bitch again? How? She has basically done everything in her power to instill distrust. Marten's spent the entire day getting shit on. If I were in his place, I'd go get plastered then spend an hour ranting at a wall about how life is bullshit, how I was cursed to keep finding these girls who just kicked me in the dick and went on their merry fucking way, and where the hell I was supposed to go from there. He's probably got a colossal headache, he's probably completely sick and tired of dealing with his batshit loco ex, and he's almost assuredly fucking going to spend a good day holed up in his room. He might round up Dora's shit and chuck it out into the living room, but he's going to lay down and he's not going to get up until he can think straight.
From there, it's anyone's guess. Even separated, Dora has ensured that shit is going to be MISERABLE, not just for herself, not just for him, but for EVERYONE AROUND THEM. Everyone's going to be walking on eggshells, with the very possible exception of Faye, who has proven that she gives no fucks and will straight up lay into a person when she feels it's required to snap them out of their assholery! Work is going to be difficult because Dora's going to have to be there, and Faye's probably going to be waiting for her out front when she comes to open up for the day. Whether she waits to hear Dora's side of things or whether she just lays into her there on the street before quitting is anyone's guess. The likely candidate for a "Here's what you did wrong, stupid!" talk will come from Hannelore, who will lay everything out and pierce Dora's thick god damn skull as to why she's turned everything tits-up.
Dora, as a character, hasn't done anything unlikeable. Not a single thing. She got ahold of Marten when he was at his most vulnerable - when the girl he liked basically went "I can't be with you because I have issues." Faye jumped up her ass on that, and rightfully so, but managed to let her down easy in the end. Because Faye, unlike Dora, doesn't try everything in her power to be a black hole of charisma! Faye is mature, Faye took care of HER fucking problems, Faye was strong enough to realize she needed help and GOT IT. Holy shit, what an amazing occurrence! Dora has done the EXACT opposite of Faye.
And besides, it's fucking rule #1: The girl the guy first sees in a story is almost guaranteed to be the one he winds up with in the end.
Am I saying Marten/Faye end will happen? Absolutely not. I think that ship has probably left harbor by now. And as much as I'd like it to happen, it'd take a very drawn out chain reaction of events occurring that would only cause more misery before it caused any happiness. And, as I've just spent a great deal of time explaining, FAYE WOULDN'T DO THAT LIKE DORA WOULD.
Christ. I'm not saying Marten's never been an ass to anyone, but those occurrences are exceedingly rare because Marten is a limp-dicked milquetoast 99% of the time! This is one of the few times he has EVER gotten angry, and he had a good fucking reason to. So all of you "Poor Dora! Marten was so mean to her!
" people can go get stuffed in a fucking room! Marten didn't do anything but ask his girlfriend to respect his fucking privacy. She failed to do that because Dora needs to control everything in her life, other people included. As he's stated a few times now - he got tired of her bullshit.
THANK YOU, CLEVELAND! GOOD NIGHT!
