I think I'm handling someone accusing me of having a stick up my ass pretty well, actually.

Wait?  Were you seriously offended by that?  :psyduck:

Please don't take this as offensive, but you might want to consider working on thickening up your skin.  That's a bit uh, little too thin skinned to be healthy, online or offline.

Sarcasm, on my internets?! Well, I never!

QueenoftheSmileys:
I think I understand what Odin is trying to get at here.

It's true, it should not matter who the EX is dating.

It does, however, matter that the FRIEND is dating the ex so soon.

That means, I guess that the Ex can date whoever they damn well please, since the person no longer has any claim on them or their lives.
A friend is a friend though, and SHOULD be considerate to the other friend's feelings. The friend may be viewed as a "vulture" in that sense.

This does not mean that the friend can NEVER date the ex though, a grace period for both parties to move on is simply courtesy.

This comes from personal experience. -_-;

And I beg to differ, adults can often get JUST as pissy as kids. I've seen it myself. xD

Elysiana:
I can't really hold a decent conversation with someone whose M.O. is anger, so... on to other things :)

Near Lurker:
Tai, repeat after me: sloppy seconds.  Happy batter.  Sloppy seconds.  Happy batter.

Zwiebel:
it may not be the best decision to make my first post this, but I felt the need to just chime in...

1. No, we are not beholden to any of our friends to ask permission to date their exes, and vice versa. However, I would be really upset if one of my good friends just up and decided to date my ex without even talking to me about it. There are a lot of things that go on, and a lot of feelings to be considered. There is no requirement to do so, but if I were thinking about asking the ex of a friend out, I would definitely discuss it with him/her first because they ARE my friend and so their feelings deserve my regard, especially if there was a social group that we were all involved in or if the breakup was particularly acrimonious (in this case it's a bit worse because Dora is having to face issues about herself that she wouldn't have normally and it might lead to an even bigger breakup later, and no one wants the group splintered). Lastly, only a month after? I mean they made the decision to move in together and make some pretty bit progress for both of them relationship-wise. It might still be a bit early to just jump back on the social bandwagon in that case. Being in a rebound is just bad for all involved, although I see that more from Marten than Dora.

2. The bigger issue here that I  see (yeah, there could be drama with Tai/Marten over it, but I think Marten would get over that in time) is the fact that Marten would have no way to avoid it if he DID have issue with it. Taking a break from your social group is one thing- I'm doing that right now- but Marten works with Tai. He has no way to be away from that if it does pose a problem for him. It can be much easier to deal with this kind of thing if you can 'take a break', which Marten seems to have been so far. He's not been hanging out with the COD crowd, and doing his own thing. With Tai and Dora, he won't have that chance because, well, who knows how Tai and Dora will interact. If it spilled over into the Smif world, Marten would not have that space he may need.

3. Dora doesn't really need to be in any kind of relationship right now. I don't like speculating about even a comic character's life, but given her history with Marten, I think it would be vastly better for her to pursue therapy as a single for a while. Even a FWB situation could get hairy. Sven mentions her previous mates were "a**hole alphagoths", and that kind of behavior can also include sexual domination, and not in the sense of personal preference. We're talking about emotional abuse here. I mean, Faye kinda showed what I mean when her situation with Sven ended the way it did- while that kind of relationship can be healthy for those involved, there is a big risk involved if someone gets even a bit emotionally invested.


Just my .02. Feel free to tear the newbie a new one :P
