Mlle Germain:
This is sad...
It is a pity this has to end like this... I mean, Faye always said "It's fine, I support you; no there's nothing wrong with me", so there was no chance for Angus to actually try and address her fears (I think Angus noticed that this wasn't true; he repeatedly tried to address the issue, but what are you supposed to do when the other person doesn't want to talk about it?). I am not sure whether Faye had already given up the relationship internally before (maybe without realising) or whether she just realised she really can't do long distance at this moment.
Anyway, I can't blame Angus at all for wanting to take this unique chance to do his dream job and for putting it above staying close to Faye -- and also not for any of his behaviour leading up to this. I am absolutely sure that Angus passing up this opportunity in order to stay with Faye would have been a terrible decision and would make neither of them happy in the long run.
That being said, while I wish Faye would have tried to do the long-distance thing, I absolutely don't blame her either. If she knows that long-distance with Angus is not what she wants, it is a good idea to stop now -- no point in dragging something out that is already dead. I just hope that the separation is then really what she wants and she doesn't regret not having tried to keep it up later.
Edit in response to new post: ... Ok, I'm not going to try and say it. We've been over both of these things (sexism & violence against men&women + what happens in comic is absolutely not a justification to do the same in the forum) before and I urge the poster (Tub) to read up on this in other parts of the forum.

I'm willing to assume it's a metaphorical "slap in the face" based on using the words "Why didn't you talk about this? Now it may be too late!". Not an actual, physical slap.
Rather like what Faye did to Dora.

The comic illustrates both good and bad things in life, and gives us the opportunity to choose the better path.
Mlle Germain:
Well said.
BenRG:
That last panel of today's comic; I could hear Peron's lament from the end of Evita as he's holding his dying wife in his arms.
"So what happens now?
So what happens now?
Where am I going to?
Where am I going... to...?
(Don't ask anymore!)"

You forgoet just how completely screwed up Dora was during her time with Marten. I, too, wonder if, on Monday, Dora will return the favour.
