--- Quote from: Tiogyr on 07 Jul 2011, 07:49 ---Why do people keep acting like exes have to reconcile and become friends after breaking up?

Why can't they have an "Our relationship was doomed to start with, we weren't compatible, but it was fun while it lasted until shit hit the fan" moment and move on with their lives?

Why do you act like reconciliation is a bad thing?

Why can't two people who allegedly liked each other to begin stay friends even though things didn't work out romantically, since they're still roughly the same decent people they were in the beginning?

I'd say more, but it'd disrupt the symmetry.

And I was the first to vote in it! I voted the 3rd from the bottom (we see the party), because I'm imagining it like when Marigold first went to the bar. We get three panels of commentary and then it cuts back to Marten replying "hey..."

If he runs out of ideas, he could just come to these forums and find some shipping ideas people have thrown out......

Also, did anyone seem to think of the lyrics to Safety Dance in the dialogue between Hanners and Marigold?

Tiogyr:
A volatile breakup should automatically take post-breakup friendship off the table, I'm sorry.

Stephen:
I think it probably would have been better for Dora to show up before his lunchbreak with a cup of coffee and baked goods to help diffuse the shock that was pretty much inevitable.

For the record, my most volatile break-up (a three year relationship that went south for all the wrong reasons, I won't bore you) went from "we will never speak with each other again" to "I think you're really interesting, so let's stay friends" in the span of a few weeks. Once people have some time to cool off and objectively look at things, they can make rational decisions after the most irrational events.

We're not talking about Dora or Marten cheating, or abusing one another, or something irreconcilable like that; we're talking about two friends who got together, but then the relationship fell apart due to Dora's trust issues. Yeah the breakup was messy at the time, but they've had plenty of time to cool off, can talk about their relationship rationally, and decide to be just friends again. Will it be awkward at first? Most likely, it usually is when dealing with an ex-lover. But things will get better.
