Kinda-sorta. Faye and Marten never dated. Dora just stood back and didn't get involved until Faye made it clear nothing was ever going to happen between the two of them.
Staff_Inflection:
Yeah, I know that. Its just an observation of something of an established pattern regarding Dora and relationships
Also, people are waaaay too forgiving of Faye's actions. As someone said before: her issues are an explanation, not an excuse.
Carl-E:
But I'm not completely sure that it's her issues that are the whole main problem.
She's been faking it, hoping to make it. And she just realized that she hasn't made it. One of the biggest successes of his life, and she feels... stressed.
Not happy, even for him.
I think she's just realized that she's not in love with him. Not even 'anymore' - possibly she never was. The relevant strips have been referenced by others upthread.
Neko_Ali:
Faye was trapped in a no-win situation. The worst thing she did here was going to everyone else to talk about her problems and worries about if Angus gets the job except for the person she should have been talking to, Angus. But that's what society tells us to do, yes? Be there for your partner. Support them and be happy for them, even if it's tearing you apart. I've said it over and over again, Faye is as much a victim here as Angus.

He knew she didn't want to move to the city, so he didn't even ask. Faye immediately gets aggressive, and then refuses to talk when he tries to take it seriously. Sorry, but dream career obviously wins over the girl you've been seeing for a couple months. especially if she isn't supportive. I know the forum has had over a decade to get to know Faye, but to defend her here is ridiculous when she is obviously the one with issues she refuses to deal with. I'm gonna be really disappointed in Jeph if he only plays the "Angus is an ass" card.

I've been hoping someone would say this. So many people jumped down his throat for the couch gag last week, despite no-one deciding to point out that he was only there while looking for a place of his own which wouldn't take long. Angus was under the impression that an LDR would take place for a while because he discussed his feelings and ambitions openly with Faye and she agreed. How on earth was he meant to know she wasn't being honest?

Not wanting to sound rude, but blaming society because Faye wasn't willing to tell Angus how she felt seems like clutching at straws to me. There comes a time where we have to take responsibility for our own (in)actions.
