ChicagoTed:
Honestly Steve's comment in the last panel seemed appropriate to me. He is addressing both his concerns about elevating the state of the relationship his is in and what seem to be fears and uncertainties about the possible negative consequences of doing so to a friend of his who just recently DID experience those negative consequences. Yes it is crass but if anything I think it shows Steve is a lot more vulnerable than he lets on.
Also hi I'm new pleasedonthurtme

Oh. I see your point"
:lol:

I was actually coming in here to say "And THIS, boys and girls, is a very good reason to keep inaccurately labeling your previous partners as 'crazy'. If Marten were actually in a mood to cheer up his friend, he could use the C-word to describe Dora and by careful word choice imply that Cosette does not possess such instability."
DSL:
Cosette's display in The Secret Bakery notwithstanding, I think Steve has (usually unwittingly) demonstrated he's the less-secure one in his relationships. I won't go so far as to say he's the Dora in this case, as Dora at least displayed awareness of things she needed to work out, and can better back up her assertiveness, even if she doesn't herself feel it.
Edit for stupid spelling mistake.
Is it cold in here?:
Welcome new person!
I took Steve's remark the same way, as if he intended to say "I'm nervous, if even you and Dora broke up, then what chance do I have?"
Boomslang:
I wish to add myself onto the 'Steve does NOT deserve punching' side of the argument.
Marten telling Steve that it'll all work out would be fine and reassuring, except Marten just got dumped and didn't see it coming.
He SUCKS at predicting the future.
This is Steve's time to voice a perfectly reasonable vote of no confidence in Marten's platitudes. Steve does actually have a lot to worry about regarding Cosette moving in- it could go badly and they break up, it might go well until she gets pregnant and Steve runs and hides, all sorts of things could very reasonably happen.
