Why does Dora need therapy?

<< < (6/42) > >>

Emperor Norton:
Also, I don't know if you've ever been drunk and depressed, but what you DON'T want is someone to come in and try to play mommy with you. You know the best way to get them to leave you the hell alone? Piss them off or upset them. What he said, was the perfect thing to say to hit her buttons. That is some guilt tripping accusations there.

gprimr1:
In veno veritas. I think there is some truth to that. I wouldn't say alcohol is a perfect truth serum, but I think you may well admit things when drunk you wouldn't admit when your sober. Sort of a trip to your subconscious.

It was pretty obvious to me Dora has some issues that need working out. I'd guess low self-esteem is probably the over-riding one, based on my experiences.

Doctor Online:
Ok, I jumped into posting midway through reading to say, some of you may have seen my post in the relationship advice thread a couple months ago. So I know some may have a idea of where I'm coming from on this.

This is coming from someone who has had a severely bad string of relationships. I've been mentally abused, cheated on, lied too, used for money, etc. I am now in a healthy stable relationship, but I put this guy through HELL over the past couple years with my insecurities from my previous relationships. I finally grew a pair and took action, I sought out help. I went through anger management and such. Even though it's been 5 months since then, I have made an improvement. I'm working on this in a relationship yes, but I have a very loving and supportive boyfriend.

After having gone through those situations in my past, my self-esteem was nothing. I acted like I had confidence, but it was exactly what I said, an act. Deep down I felt unwanted, I was paranoid of even family, I was depressed, I even had thoughts of suicide back then. When someone is torn to shreds like I was, or how Dora was in her past, sometimes we do need help in overcoming those obstacles.

I can say I dislike Dora, but in the relationship aspect only, I dislike her because I see myself. And I really hate to come off as one of those creepy obsessed fans, but the break up arc really made me do some extreme self reflection. I knew ultimately, I did not want to take the same route as Dora and Marten. I honestly really did relate to that because at that point, my relationship was heading right down the same exact road.

If Marten really wasn't over Faye, he would be having the angry rants while he was sober, not drunk. And he certainly would've had a MUCH bigger problem when Faye slept with Sven.

No, because Marten's not like that. He holds stuff in a lot.

Whatever...there are two sides to this and I'm obviously on the side that says that Marten never really got over Faye.

gprimr1:
I can def relate to Marten's speech. I've been through several fizzle out relationships were really all I did was make the guy see how much he missed the girl, or the girl see how much she really loved the guy and they got back together.

It hurts to do everything right and still loose.
