Should Dora go out with Jim?
LeeC:
would make sense seeing as how girls would only hang out with dora to get to her brother back when she was in high school.

That's a reasonable assumption given she perceives Sven as the root of all her problems. There's also her control freak tendencies and she can't control Sven. Thus in her mind it was probably a case of, if Sven comes around, he'll take control of her social circle away from her. Thus resulting in more Sven hate and more Dora insecurities.

This makes a LOT of sense. Sven interacting with her friends is at the very root of her insecurities, as far as we know. Yet. Here's hoping we will see some of Dora's therapy sessions!
However, I'm pretty sure this discussion should be in the other thread, "Why does Dora need therapy?", rather than this one.

I agree with Blyss; Dora kicks Marten in the nads & says her issues are the problem, then she almost immediately starts dating again?

Personally, I saw friction building throughout Marten and Dora's relationship, not only because of Dora's insecurities, but because of Marten's apathy, nonchalance, immaturity, and repressed bitter feelings. There have been many examples throughout the strip, but a notable one that reveals his character is right before the breakup, in 1798: "Now I gotta do the same old stupid song and dance to smooth things over even though this is HER fault." How caring, and so very nice.

Are you forgetting what Dora did to drive a nice, caring boy to this attitude? Do her high-maintenance needs seem normal to you? I'm sorry, I would have considered leaving her by that point, and I'm quite tolerant (also apathetic, nonchalant, etc.) Why SHOULD Marten have to do that same stupid song and dance for her, over and over, anyway?
edit - corrected attribution - sorry!

Somehow you deleted out to attribute that quote to me. Which is, something I would definitely not say.
