I just had to register because I wanted to give my two cents about this whole situation...
I think that Marten was in the right about this. He could've been more diplomatic about it, but to what end? Padma was never going to stay, Marten was never going to move, and she'll never be back. What is the point about making each other feel better about the whole thing? They'll most likely never encounter each other again in this life and by burning the bridge (and salting the earth near said bridge) both of them can move on with their lives. Marten has had his rebound from Dora and can find a relationship that has an actual chance and Padma doesn't have a reason to consider the folly of moving back.
Even if they had met earlier as Padma had wished, the end result would still be the same. She'd be moving back, Marten wouldn't (or shouldn't), and long-distance relationships simply aren't worth the trouble. This relationship was doomed from the get-go. In fact, it's even better that they hadn't met earlier as neither would be in the difficult position that it would put them in.
Now, if Mr. Jacques wanted to be ebil, he'd have Padma have gotten pregnant from their first encounter and this last week of silence was her realizing it/finding out. :evil:
Thank you for listening.

The fun part? Only some chix do this, and then surely not every time; so you never know if it's a test until after the fact. You could easily have gone too far and become the creepy dude.

If she WAS trying to put Marten through the test, it is a blessing in disguise that he failed. I used to be one of those girls (because I used to be 18). Most women worth pursuing a relationship with will learn in due time that games are nothing but trouble.

after years of psyche and sociology classes, a few marriage counseling sessions, growing up surrounded by women and nearly ten years of marriage... i still can't figure out what makes some women think the games are worth it. or even what drives them to play the games they do.

At the risk of offending anyone here that engages in said games, I'll come out and say it- it's usually due to mistrust, low self esteem or a perceived lack of sufficient attention. It's all about self gratification. If he does THIS when i say THIS, then he really loves me and is worth my affection. If he doesn't say/do what he's supposed to, he's a big effing jerk.

There is no benefit in making others feel bad; but feeling better - well, don't you prefer feeling better to feeling worse?

When you've lived as long as I have you'll have realised that this is not a reliable assumption! Try to part with people on terms which make the possibility of meeting again less nerve-racking, and you'll save those unexpected embarrassments.

And so the world keeps turning...
