two schools of thought... there are some people who say you need to earn their respect first, and then there are other people who say, you already have my respect and its up to you to keep it.

Silly Faye.

The answer is YES.

<--- Expert on that question.

Hah.

--- Quote from: Arky on 16 Nov 2010, 04:00 ---Also the comic is like a giant Rorschach blot for all of us to project our own issues with men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! onto Marten and Dora.  A therapist could sweep in here and have a field day, although they should only be paid at bulk rate for everyone who called Dora a bitch.

In other news, I find that I frequently relate to fictional stories (mostly sitcoms) when going through trouble. I think QC just stands out so much because I consume it five days a week.

€: I just randomly found Dora explaining what love is.

--- End quote ---

I made that map from a few estimates. I think the second couch is little used, but is there most of the time.

Re: Elliot, I think the guy deserves a little more credit. I think he's mature enough to accept his fate in regards to Padma. It probably helps that he knows she's leaving and isn't looking for anything serious. Usually, if you pine for someone over an extended period of time, you want to be in a relationship with them. He realizes now that Padma truly is just having fun before she goes off to deal with a difficult situation isn't looking for a relationship. That fact makes it much easier to deal with rejection, because she's not necessarily rejecting him, just the idea of a boyfriend.

Or, he's living vicariously through Marten.

Or, he's patiently awaiting the schadenfreude he'll experience when Marten falls hard for Padma and she leaves him in the dust.


Re: Faye, I've been there many, many, many times. I've been in so many relationships that made me question my feelings- some for good reason and others simply because I deal with a lot of anxiety and the obsessive side of my OCD gets more of a workout than my compulsive side. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if your feelings are genuine because you've over-thought so many things in the past that you begin to question the "normal" things, fearing that something is wrong but you just haven't figured it out yet. You wonder how the other person can possibly love you, why you love them (when it's usually pretty obvious) and you start to wonder if your relationship has an expiration date. The trick is to acknowledge those feelings, tell yourself that they are perfectly valid concerns and that you are NOT a bad person for questioning them, then let them go. It's not an easy task, but it sounds like it is what Faye truly needs to do. Angus is a good counterpart for her- it may not last forever, but he provides a much needed sense of balance. He's lighthearted and genuine, someone that can ease her mind and handle her issues. And she's right- he's funny, smart and can stand up to her in many senses. Of course, it's more obvious to us than it is to her because we have an outsiders perspective and bring our own experiences to the table. We've seen some of the scenarios in QC play out in real life so we immediately think Faye is going to "ruin things" because that CAN happen when you let your worries "awfulize" things in your head. Eventually, it makes you so insecure in your relationship that eventually it breaks down. I think after a chat with Marten, he'll be able to put things in perspective for her and she'll realize that her relationship with Angus truly is a good thing. I mean....if she just didn't want to be alone, wouldn't she have just dated Marten to begin with??
