Dora,Tai, and Therapy
SJCrew:
There's only so much I can gauge coming from a fictional characters head, but I think it's very much plausible. Not the idea that a woman wouldn't hurt her, but the simple fact that she will always see men the same way with her issues intact: selfish, unfaithful assholes that are not to be trusted. The fact that her own brother embodied the issues she's had in her past relationships with males only exacerbates the problem. If Tai's polyamorous ways ruin their relationship, her perspective might change, but I think Sven's influence has pretty much made it a given that she'll have more trouble committing to men.
Let's put it like this. Jim got the no-go, but Tai was an instant makeout. Where else could her mindset be?

That could well be an issue of distance. More time has passed, the wounds aren't as fresh. It's easier to fool yourself that it won't be a problem this time.

Really? When did he list that? Marten never finding happiness seems incredibly depressing. :psyduck:

I believe it was in a Tumblr Q/A dump a while back - shortly after the breakup, but before Padma?
Is it cold in here?:

It IS Jeph though. Could be fooling. Also, wouldn't ANY new strips with Marten in relationships then be a self-fulfulling prophesy of failure? I'd just be inclined to skip those strips then. :psyduck:
Back on topic. Was Jim shortly after therapy? He also had a kid. Keep that in mind. He probably wanted stable and Dora couldn't give that.
Straight to make-out with Tai? Legitimately questionable TERRIBLE call right there.
