--- Quote from: NilsO on 08 Jul 2014, 06:54 ---One of Sven's ethical guidelines is that he would not cuckold a friend, and he would not bang some dude's lady intentionally. Sven might not consider Angus a friend, but at least he knows who he is, and that Angus and Faye are in a relationship. Sven's ethical guidelines are apparently quite malleable.

really? Sven just said he loved Faye, he hasn't said "I love you, you should immediately break up with Angus for me" or "cheat on Angus with me"
In fact, if getting Faye to cheat on Angus was Sven's goal, I imagine he would have approached Faye very differently, hanging out, having a few drinks, etc...
Instead Sven is being straightforward. He has laid his cards on the table.
Is this the best timing for Faye? not really, but Sven has been so removed from their group that he has no way of knowing what is going on with her, and apparently he is so infatuated with Faye that he isn't picking up the overbearing "this is not a good time to dump more on Faye" cues.
Tl:dr I'm not sure what Sven expects to get out of telling this to Faye, but I don't think he is trying to manipulate her into being unfaithful to Angus.
Mad Cat:
Why do people so frequently do such violence to the phrase, "I'm in love with "?
You're not in love with someone unless they are in that love with you. Otherwise, you're in love by yourself and just wishing the object of your affection reciprocated. And, unless you are the kind of psychotic who believes inanimate objects are capable of emotional states, no non-sentient object loves you. Hence, you're not in love with any inanimate objects. I love mango-lemonade with OJ. I'm not "in love with" mango-lemonade with OJ.
This brings us to a recent Devil's Panties strip.
It would have been more grammaticly, logicly, and emotionally accurate for Sven to have said, "I think I love you." Okay, maybe not so much logicly with Faye. For him to say, "I think I'm in love with you." was for him to preposit that Faye loves him back in the same way. Then again, Sven is the quintessential "bro".
Warning - while you were typing a you took an arrow to the knee. You may wish to stop adventuring.

If you are not feeling it, you are welcome to ignore it :-D
Carl-E:
I'm hoping there's a "BUT..." after that statement.
(note that there's only one "T" there)
I love you BUT... I know it wouldn't work out / I know you're in a relationship / I know I fucked things up between us, etc.
He's got a problem, not her. Well, she has some issues too, just nothing he knows about. He needs to move on and has finally figured out why he can't - he let what could have been the one get away. Practically pushed her right out. So he's confessing to her, hoping to get it out of his system, hoping against all logic that she's done with Angus and able to take him back, hoping for closure, hell, he's not even really sure what he's hoping for.
It's a move of desperation.
