That is just not right.

Why do you think it's not right?
Breaking up with someone is commonly considered a bad thing. Expecting further backlash in the context of social polarisation would seem to be fairly normal to me. I think it's part of how we're conditioned on social, moral and ethical transgressions.

Well, today was a big heap of "more of the same for Dora".
What's the point of hauling Marten's mom out here if we're just going to see another supportive hug?
/comic, I am dissappoint.

Hey, above the knee boots aren't exactly super common items. And besides, it makes a nice diversion from all the "panic panic" that everyone was going into over Mrs. Reed visting CoD.

Y'all can thank themacnut for me dropping out of lurker status and actually posting. I don't feel sorry for Dora, and it's actually fairly aggravating that she's getting all of this undeserved support. My ex ruined a perfectly good relationship based on similarly flimsy reasoning and insecurities, and it pissed me off just as much back then that she was reassured and coddled by our social circle while I got the boot. I may be tough, but kicking me when I'm down provokes me to break you, not "get over it."
Eventually, it resulted in our social circle splitting into halves in a very messy, extended breakdown. I understand a writer's desire and vulnerability through their characters, but Dora did something that shouldn't be minimized so...trivially.

What OP said ^.
-Dora's the one who couldn't wait more than *2* days to jump Marten after Faye shot him down.
-She then pulled one thing after another on Marten with her insecurities.
- She casually told people *point blank* that she didn't see the relationship lasting. (Not that she ever bothered to tell Marten or anything.)
-Then when her insecurities finally got too much for her to handle, she dumped Marten instead of facing up to them.
***********************************************************************************************
I think anyone with two functioning brain cells would rightfully assume people to be a little pissed at them after they've farked up as badly as Dora did.
I'm sympathetic to her in the conversational sense that 'Yeah, man that sucks.' Because it's always really painful when you screw up that much.
However, since it was the person's fault they got into the mess in the first place. I'm not going to sit there and cuddle them like they got the short end of the stick or something ("Oh, I'm so so sorry for you!"). They didn't. This is all their own making. And now it's time for them to face the music and *un-fark* up their lives. That's what being an adult is all about.
