Nooooo. I can never quite resist checking the forum, and your posts have been making the discussions on here recently much more pleasant to read.

Wow, okay, wasn't expecting this post.
You know I meant the comic-specific subsection not the rest of the forum, right? I didn't think I added much to the weekly comic discussion threads.

He doesn't have a girlfriend, sure, but he has friends he cares about, a job he doesn't hate, and music he is passionate about. Where are the comics that are making people talk like he's on the verge of a breakdown?

I wouldn't call him 'on the edge of a breakdown', but he's definitely depressed. I think people are probably referring to this comic, even though that was immediately after a breakup.
Iunno.

Would depressed really be the word?
I think he's doing just fine, but perhaps lacks that 5-10% extra "drive" to get him closer to where he wants to be. He's perhaps on the cusp of personal success, but isn't quite there yet, and because of it he feels more inclined to dwell on events (such as the one-night-stand with Delilah) instead of just shrugging it off and moving on.

Na, that's way too far back. And feeling down after the end of a long relationship is not depression, it's perfectly normal. He was fine again in between then and now , even happy.
I'm not sure I'd call Marten depressed, but we definitely had some stretches when he was feeling directionless and a bit down. The latest has been initiated by Faye and Dora constantly nagging him about not having a girlfriend or any other romantic involvement when "even" the "meganerds" Dale and Marigold found someone. I really wish they's stop doing that. I mean, maybe now they have or will, if they see that it's something that genuinely bothers Marten.
Edit: Fixed missing word

Things happened in his life. Something just happened in his life that he ultimately found frustrating. Nothing wrong with feeling bummed.
