I don't recall him ever bragging making a point about his good fortune.
--- Quote ---throwing tantrums when he doesn't feel he's getting his due. I'd cut him off, too.
--- End quote ---
Really now? Tantrums? He mentioned he'd never forgive not getting the USS Flagg Aircraft carrier. That's about as big of an emotional outburst at not getting what he wants as I've seen him have. At most he simply wonders why things don't fall neatly into his lap.
Clueless? Sure. Incapable of reading a situation correctly? Fair enough. But tantrums? I realize there's a sizeable portion of the forum that has it in for the guy and will never, ever give him a break.

Also, Dora broke up with Marten because she knew it was an unhealthy relationship. She didn't break up with because he got mad at her. She recognized that her insecurity was the problem and would probably always be an issue given the circumstances under which it started. The break up was the right thing to do in that situation and it hurt her as much as him.

--- Quote from: A_S00 on 25 Aug 2014, 20:55 ---Oh jeez Faye is gonna think Marten and Dora are having sketchy ex sex because they won't tell her what they were really talking about and it's gonna be a whole THING and I will have to stop reading the comic for like a week.
--- End quote ---
I'd be surprised if it went that route. Dora's not been shown to be a cheater and I can't think Faye would really believe that she or Marten would do that to Tai. I think what is more likely to happen is Cosette will come in like "I can't BELIEVE that asshole said that to you," Faye will figure out that Dora knows and that whatever she and Marten were talking about has to do with that, and there will be some sort of argument, etc.
sitnspin:
I think what you are missing, Valyard, is that it doesn't matter if Sven is a horrible person or toxic in general. All that matters for this decision is that Dora feels Sven is toxic for her personally. This is true for anyone. Having a particular person in your life might be detrimental to your well-being while not being so for other people.

--- End quote ---
Yeah. This.
Dora invades Marten's porn collection despite clearly being given the impression she didn't have his permission. When Marten quite rightly is upset. How does she react? By dumping him and breaking his heart. She's pretty much the only girlfriend he's ever going to have.
--- End quote ---
Besides Padma apparently, and what's her face from college. I agree though, that breakup was pretty shitty. Marten isn't exactly clean with that, though.
--- Quote ---Marten will now be forever alone. What does Dora get? She only has to go to therapy. That's it. Even Veronica shows far more compassion to the girl who crushed her only child's heart than she does to her own flesh and blood offspring.
--- End quote ---
Yeah, I never cared for how she (Veronica) treated him either. Not since the first time I saw her when I read the comic all the way through back in 2010.
--- Quote ---Dora then proceeds to crush Jim's heart.
--- End quote ---
Huh? They went on one date. It was completely amicable.
--- Quote ---While Marten only suffers. Padma left him.
--- End quote ---
She "left him" because she had to move away. She didn't really want to leave. Still, it was a shitty situation and I really sympathize with Marten and wish Padma fucking stayed. She seemed to bring out the absolute best in him.
--- Quote ---He was deemed not good enough by the security girl on the space station or Delilah.
--- End quote ---
Well, not everyone is going to be attracted to you. Sucks, but it's true.
--- Quote ---And now he's going to sabotage even the remote possibility of Emily.
--- End quote ---
I think it's still unclear at this point if there was even anything there. So far it seems like she was just being her strange self.
--- Quote ---Let's not forget that Jeph himself has stated that Any and all chances at happiness for Marten is officially dead.
--- End quote ---
When did he say this? And are you sure he was serious?
--- Quote ---Sven only broke ONE heart while Dora has crushed at least two.
--- End quote ---
It's been implied that Sven broke more than one heart, if you count the blonde at the bar that he tried to sucker Marten into distracting way way WAY earlier on in the comic.
--- Quote ---And she's just going to cut him out entirely without at least trying to talk to him first? Let's not forget who took her in when she moved out of Marten and Faye's apartment.
--- End quote ---
Yeah, that along with the comment she made to Faye that went to the effect of "basically, do the opposite of whatever Marten is doing" both kinda pissed me off. Come to think of it, after reading some of the comments here it DOES seem like she's got this tendency to completely forget about the people who have been there for her and "put up with her" while she's making just plain rude fucking comments about them, or straight up threatening to cut them out of her life.
