SirDudley:
People probably said this already, but I am for Marten going back of CoD and at least try to lay the groundwork for reconciliation.
With Hanners as mediator.

Marten pretty much only reacts to what happens around/to him (as far as the actual history of the strip goes, not back story stuff), he has never really taken any initiative of his own other than the horrible plot-point of pursuing someone that wasn't into him anymore halfway across the country and inviting someone to live with him purely for the remote possibility of hooking up with them farther down the line (Faye, at the beginning of QC when she burned her apartment up with a toaster or something equally retarded, after pining after her for however many strips).

And considering how both those initiatives worked out for him, I'm not surprised Marten has taken a more passive approach to starting relationships since then. Let's face it, he sucks at proactively initiating with women (see what happened with Padma), and he knows it. And he hasn't grown the thick skin necessary to get shot down multiple times while practicing to get better.
So unless he grows thicker skin, his only relationships are going to result from people coming up to him.

Wait, what? Faye living with Marten was hardly Marten's initiative. She came over, asked to stay a while, and they made good roommates (at least plotwise), so it stuck. Also, apparently they've been living together since strip twenty-two, so he hardly had time to pine over her and come with some elaborate plan.
