She had massive trust issues and was a massive hypocrite. You seem to be the only one certain of the absolute incompatibility.

Marten has massive self-image issues and is also a hypocrite (much like every character in the comic except for, maybe, Hannelore, who is basically the naive/innocent character for some reason in spite of how she started out in the comic). As for the incompatibility, why do you think they broke up if not because they were incompatible?
You can't throw two people with massive self-image issues like Dora and Marten (and radically different methods of dealing with those issues) into a relationship together and expect things to work out well.
JordanDH:
Marten is significantly less of a hypocrite. He wasn't flirting and then going mental at Dora for (not really) flirting. Examples of the self-image issues please. Other than his admission not being a great songwriter. By any evidence in the comics, the relationship fell apart because of Dora's trust issues. Without reading tons into what we think might have been going on in people's minds and in between comics, Dora herself said it ended because of her issues.

The first 500 strips of the comic.
JordanDH:
Anything since then?
Tiogyr:
Every time Marten opens his mouth and isn't poking fun at someone else, basically. Do you even read the comic?
