Does Faye love Angus?
jwhouk:
Nnnnnnnnn... No, not really.
I do think that as long as Angus and Faye are together, she's going to have that issue. Kinda like how Dora had that self-worth issue while she was going out with Marten.
NotAwesomeAnymore:
Oh noes, not another Dora/Marten!
Anyway, isn't it weird to project her daddy issues onto her partners? That seems quite Freudian and attached to the gender stereotype of "Man as the provider." I know Faye rejected Marten and had issues with Sven, but I thought that related to her generally unstable state, not to her father's suicide colouring her view of all men. (That's a question.)
This whole father vs. boyfriend thing is still making me go UNGGGGGHHHH. Like, obviously she's gonna have trust and abandonment issues, but I feel like those would come out with Marten, a stable, platonic confidant. If I were her I'd be more scared of losing the rock than the whirlwind.
Is it cold in here?:
She's had abandonment issues with Marten: 309.
Carl-E:
I think the issues are concerned with love, and the loss of a loved one, not so much her father. She's taking the common reaction of self-insulation, and though she's gotten close to Marten (and had a hard time coping with that for quite a whie pre-Dr. Corinne), she absolutely freaked out over Sven, and that was more of a fuckbuddy situation (until Sven grew up a bit, and then she had to keep him at a distance).
But now, she doesn't have a good friend or a fuckbuddy (I really hate that word, and the idea behind it).
She's in love, and more importantly, she has a new loved one. I think that in her mind, loss is now just around the corner.
And if she's not careful, that expectation will be self-fulfilling, no matter how patient Angus is.

--- Quote from: jwhouk on 21 Oct 2011, 13:24 ---It is kinda obvious: no matter how long the relationship lasts, Faye is always going to fear that Angus is going to leave her. They could be old, grey, married 50+ years - and she'd still think he's going to leave and never come back.
Unfortunately, "Coping Mechanism" won't fix something like that.

I'd say that with continuous therapy and support and getting used to having him around, there's a good chance she might get over that fear. Though I understand your point.
