Is it cold in here?:
Faye's own analysis of her accountability for relationship problems.
Krald:
My one other problem was Angus in all his excitement ran to her public place of work to drop the bombshell on her, instead of telling her at one of their homes in private whete she may not feel quite so exposed and vunerable.

To be fair, he expected her to react differently, unless it's "bad news" it makes perfect sense to tell her at work, so she'd have a reason to be happy (for him) the rest of the day. If he had had an inkling that it would bother her, then yeah, he might have done it privately, but I see no reason why he would if he expects a positive reaction to the news
Emperor Norton:
Also, he probably just arrived back in town, and was super excited. Honestly, if it had been me, I would have already been on the phone the moment I heard, I'm surprised he got all the way back to town first.

--- Quote from: NemoX on 20 Oct 2014, 17:17 ---Yeah I have read the thread on the passage of time, but that is my point, to us it has felt like a long time, a year actually even tho its much less than that, but realistically, they are still infant relationships in the case of Faye/Angus, and with Marten/Claire I just see a parallel to when Dora and Tai started dating: Dora pointed out how they didn't really know each other all that well yet and she was still "the hot chick from the library" and wanted to work on getting to know each other. As much confidence as Claire has put on Marten, they still have a lot to learn about each other, and Angus and Faye even tho they have known each other for longer, they don't seem like they ever really sat down to share a lot between them. I was just pointing out how that fact has been left out in favor of people pointing fingers and trying to assign blame.

Worth noting: we see 15 days (possibly 17) pass from Angus first kissing Faye until April's timeline starts. But, logically much more time passed, because (calling the kiss day one) on day four Marten and Dora break up. On day eight, Steve is incredulous that Marten isn't yet over Dora. That probably throws strict dating of events off, but there's no way Steve would expect Marten to bounce back in 4 days. (Marten claims that being over Dora isn't the issue, supporting the idea that Steve is not being douchy.)
It seems likely that Angus and Faye have been together for nearly 6 months at this point. Not an epic amount of time, but neither too short to bond in a serious manner. I wouldn't call 6 months infant.
By the same token, starting a relationship with someone you have known for 2 months seems fairly sedate. That's not to imply anything, other than the fact that Claire and Marten didn't exactly rush into this.
