Why does Dora need therapy?

Ever heard of learning from experience? Have you noticed that Faye's life has improved a lot? And the suggestion that she thinks she knows everything is your straw man, not hers.

And you will note that Dora appears to have turned round to blaming Marten (by implication) for the breakup - when she said the opposite at the time. Do you admire the ability to change like that?
akronnick:
When did Dora ever regard Marten as perfect in every way?
pwhodges:
When contrasting Jim's approach with "stupid drama" Dora is obviously not comparing with herself, so she must be comparing with Marten - but the only drama that Marten ever indulged in was started by her, hence my saying "turned round". As for blaming - why else bring up the drama aspect at all? I don't think it's such a leap (particularly as I saw a very similar turn-around used the same way at the time of my divorce).

I think it's a bit of a leap from "not regarding Marten as perfect in every way" to "blaming Marten by implication for the break-up".

To be fair I haven't seen her blaming him for it either, though if someone can show that position I may change my views.
Boomslang:
Well, directly from today's comic:
"No pussyfooting around the issue, no stupid drama. It's a refreshing change of pace."
Since, as she mentioned, her boyfriends before Marten were Alpha males and would have just asked her out, then the only person she could conceivably be complaining about in those terms is Marten. Who does not deserve the blame for the stupid drama she's bitching about. Either she has a really faulty memory of what happened with her and Marten, or she's addicted to self delusion.
