Should Dora go out with Jim?
NotAwesomeAnymore:
People in this thread are reminding me of someone. Someone whose strategy was to find Marten's flaws because that would somehow mean Dora was doing okay. Oh wait, that was Dora.

If only life were so simple!
One can so easily be tired of some aspects of a relationship and yet want to preserve it for other reasons; one can want to sort something out, but still be tired of doing it. Perhaps you haven't been there yet; I have.

Yes, I have been there. And in those cases, I didn't do the song and dance, I expressed how frustrating it was to relive the same fight again and again and how pointless and counterproductive it was. Sometimes I waited it out, sometimes I left.
And -- to NotAwesomeAnymore -- finding Marten's flaws doesn't mean Dora is doing okay, because she's not. If she is continuously getting herself into bad relationships and is freaked out by not being abused, that is a huge red flag. However, just because Dora is a little messed up in the head doesn't mean that Marten is perfect, or anywhere close to it. He's got issues he should address as well.

But that is the song and dance - like here.

I gues the opinion that Marten isn't perfect is valid... but hsi imperfections wasn't what broke up the relationship. If they broke up because she didn't like his personality, because they didn't click, she wasn't attracted to him, etc. But Dora broke up with Marten because she couldn't get past her own issue, and after the fact, everything we've seen is Dora not really reacting. She's just going along with business as usual, while Marten is actually resolving his emotions.
From the very flat break up to no reaction, it's not a person handling well.
Unless she honestly didn't feel anything for Marten, in which case there's no problem with moving on, and her getting on with her life post break-up is fine. I think if that's the case... I like her a bit less... I'm still half expecting that moment when her emotonal wall breaks and the gushy stuff comes out. So in my opinion, she's heartless or bottling her emotions <.<

If a dude does what Dora is doing, he's a player, etc.; but since it's a woman doing it she's a whore or she's a heartless bitch. :mrgreen:
