More than "NOT DORA"
muffin_of_chaos:
I would say roughly a fourth of the people I know--and a third of my partners--have acted in paranoid/overboard ways similar to Dora, and I may have myself back when I was around 15. It isn't uncommon per se, and isn't restricted to people who have had crappy relationships. The more common reason is a heightened sense of how "flawed" they are, making them willing to act to make sure other people don't have to deal with the flaws, even while counting on a "true love partner" to be able to ignore every perceived flaw. From what I've seen, in general one doesn't get over this sort of paranoia if they're being enabled. And it seems like usually the remedy is the shifting of certain philosophical views, or a more clear self-image.
But heck, I know people who take pride in being a selfish partner who is nonetheless willing to break up at the drop of a hat over "irreconcilable differences" (i.e. the other person's ambivalence or problem). They seem to think it makes them individualistic and passionate. Usually it seems more like a martyr complex.
Martyr complexes can be borne and worked through, but not if the partner's a wuss. In my experience.

Name one woman in the history of the world who doesn't have a bit of insanity in them. Name one PERSON in the world that doesn't have a bit of insanity in them.

Yay! Finally got an activation email!
Anyway, I'm little surprised at how people are for Marten/Hanners. Definitely I think she's best suited to Marten out of the current people we know. Even ignoring current relationships, I don't think anyone else would quite work. I also think that out of all the guys Hannelore could possibly be with, Marten would be the best. She's definitely most comfortable with Marten out of any of the guys, and maybe even out of anyone in the cast. Situations like the tickling thing that someone brought up earlier and when Marten gives her the worry-hat show Marten and Hannelore joking around and just generally being comfortable with each other in a really nice way. I also think that their interactions are adorable.
Hannelore has worked through so many of her problems and has largely grown as a person since we've seen her. I've actually disliked Dora more since she's been going out with Marten, just because I see the way she treats difficult situations.
I've actually wanted Hannelore/Marten for a while...
