Marten is responsible for his actions as well as his feelings.
Marten knows full well that Padma is leaving.
If he thinks he might not be able to deal with the emotional fallout that comes from this, he is perfectly able to not participate.
Putting the responsibility on Padma for whatever consequences come of this is denying Marten's agency over his decisions.
snubnose:
I just realized ... what is PINTSIZE doing in frame 4 ? ? ? :-o
I guess Marten must have shut the little guy down.

It took THAT to drag me out of lurking and ask- to what extent are "they doing "ok"? "
The part where someone called him a "prick"?
Or where someone else labeled him a "spiteful person"?
Or the part where, just because of a personal opinion, a poster decided to go off on a seven paragraph tirade?
This stuff- this right here is EXACTLY why I stopped posting in the forums in the first place.

See, I am aware that Padma is a character and she does not care that someone is calling her a slut(because she doesn't really exist). However, according to the mindset quite a lot of people are labeled as sluts, mostly girls, and quite a lot of people miss out on stuff that they would want to do. The term slut is the cancer that is plague-ing the minds of many women. I hate to see it used lightly. Anyway. Slut is generally an insult. Prick is less so. I was light because I'm nice.
Perhaps some girls who do enjoy casual sex do not like having people calling them sluts based on the fact that if you have sex on the first date you're a herpes-infested slut? If my personal opinion was among the lines of "all guys who wear earrings are fags" and i would state that proudly then I would be asking for a verbal smacking as well.
Spiteful is an insult now?
Yes, I like writing long posts. Also, whenever I see someone who is being a prick I decide to kindly explain what is wrong with their line of thought. Nicely. Slowly. And all that. It's what can make the world a better place imho.
But you are posting now o.O.

Note that the phrase was qualified ("generally"). A comparison with exchanges in the past will show how much improved the mood of this board is compared to then. Also note that sometimes corrective action is taken behind the scenes to avoid messing up the discussion further (and normally without censorship, either).

Strongly expressed views, certainly, but kept just within bounds I thought. The length is irrelevant.
The problem is that people take offence (or get irritated) at different levels. We aim to keep things good for the majority, but if we are missing too often, we do need to be told...

I was going to post something on this thread and make an apology about not saying anything about the strip itself, but then I saw the post I quoted below and felt like it pretty much covered my opinion.

As I've said before, I don't see any good coming from this. And while I wouldn't go as far as stoutfiles and call Padma a slut, I am concerned that she may be using Marten. Her choice of underwear makes it clear that she was prepared for this. Now, I don't see Marten complaining yet, but in a couple of days I expect him to start getting mopey, and quite frankly that is not entirely unexpectable. She should know this: I mean, the one time before now that she actually listened to what Marten was saying, all he did was whine about his "townie drama". Honestly, Padma is getting less likable in my opinion, as her obliviousness is getting to be downright criminal. I've already remarked on how her lack of awareness has the tendency to hurt people around her, and if this plays out like I expect this will be an all-time high in my opinion.
Then again, when has Jeph ever played things out like I expect? :|

So yeah. That. Excellent work. ^___^
Anyway, I just wanted to submit that I would also like those panties to be in the store. Definitely asking the boyfriend to buy them for me if they become a reality. ;)
And now for attempt #4 at sleeping...
