What I found interesting about Tai asking Marten's 'permission' to have a relationship with Dora is the degree to which she was using Marten as a sounding board to work out her own feelings of inadequacy to do so.
So, yeah, that's the point when she became another of Marten's gang of little sisters.

Never said she couldn't date her, just let the poor guy who got kicked out of the relationship not see one of his friends all over his ex within like, weeks.

Except it WAS a mutual decision. She freaked out, yes, but the freak out was not what ended the relationship. The freak out was just what sparked the conversation that lead to the agreement that it wasn't working out. And she didn't jump on him the moment Dora was free. As you said, it was weeks later.
So what, in your sage opinion, is an acceptable amount of time? Months? Years? Or, here's a thought, how about after he actually flat out said it was okay? Which he did.

So the idea that its all on him is absurd. If she doesn't want to listen, doesn't want to talk, anything he does can only make it worse.

There's also the matter of his own emotional state too.
OK, he's been in denial. Well so has Faye. No-one's fault, we all tend to cross fingers and hope for the best. As do Claire and Marten. Often it works. When it doesn't - we see the results here.
Marten did good.
I hope that Angus gets the same degree of support. He needs it, and deserves it, too. Right now, I can imagine him just sitting, staring into a fire. As guys tend to do, in my experience.

I'm kinda wondering why you're being so hostile about this? :? I incline more to your side, but I think the sarcasm and anger in the bolded is really uncalled for. If it's cool for you to have your opinion on this, why isn't it cool for others to have theirs? Some people just feel that dating a friend's ex is crappy for whatever reason.
