And this is where Momo comes in. She's experienced at offering emotional support, be it a shoulder to cry on or a (metaphorical) kick in the pants.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 20 Oct 2014, 06:15 ---Do you know what I'd like? I'd like for Angus to go into a bar to drown his sorrows and encounter Sven. The two of them get talking (not knowing who the other is, at least at first). Sven gives Angus a verbal slap-down about giving up so easily and letting Faye go. "Here's a bit of free advice, man. I made the biggest fuck-up in my life when I let that woman walk out of my life because I was scared of committing to her. If I were you? If I had the choices you now have? I'd hold on to her so tight that the only way they could seperate us would be to cut my cold, rotting corpse loose. Now get back there and prove to her that you love her as much as she deserves!"

I have to say.. this creeps me out, a lot. I can totally see Sven saying that, because that's the sort of advice you would get from a romantic comedy which is where Sven seems to be picking up a lot of his relationship advice from. RomComs I'm finding to be pretty horrible about depicting healthy relationships. Your girl broke up with you because she has serious emotional issues and deep seated psychological scars and now can't deal with a a LDR because it feels to much like abandonment? You need to keep pressing her and holding on, no matter what she says or does, and eventually she'll cave in and life will be good forever!"
Yea, no. Life doesn't work like that. What is needed is what is going on right now. They need to got their separate ways for a bit. They need some hugs and talk things out with their friends and get some support. They need some time to come down off the panic attack and pull themselves out of the deep depression they are in, then they can talk about it, openly and honestly, when they are in a better place. Maybe things will work out and they decide to give it a try, that their relationship is important enough for Faye to push out of her comfort zone and grow. Maybe they'll decide their relationship isn't worth the pain and part with well wishes to each other. But pushing Faye to deal with something she isn't ready to deal with right now isn't going to help anyone. It's just going to make Faye feel more down about herself and going to upset both of them more.

It's just silly and upbeat and wholesome. Totally what I'd be whistling as I strode down Main St. NoHo after making first kisses with a gal I fancy.

If it's an actual kick in the pants that is needed, May might still be hanging at the apartment.
Welu:
That last few strips have been hitting kind of close with me, as do most where Faye is down.
Marten did a cool thing. Go friendship!
