Or it could end up like Marten and Faye, yet. Something this comic has already done before. We'll see!

I can't recall offhand - has Faye clued in Bubbles about her Dad?

I just wanted to point out that if the genders had been reversed--a woman has a chance to interview/audition for her dream job in NYC, boyfriend working a McJob out in the sticks with no plan and no prospects doesn't want to follow her or even try to make a go of a LTR, tries to drink himself to death instead--everyone would be calling the boyfriend an ***hole.
Yes, Angus had goals. Did Faye have any then?

I believe that Faye has discussed this with Bubbles as a quid pro quo for Bubbles opening up on what she is able to remember of her Army career and the destruction of her unit.

No, I don't think that's the case at all. I don't think that any reasonable person would criticise a clearly mentally- and emotionally-damaged man for failing at a relationship and then going into a depressive death spiral in the manner Faye did.
Yes, Faye had goals. Specifically, to have something secure in her life where the most important emotional constant, her father, was ripped away from her.

That's just it, up until she got fired, Faye never had any goals. She coasted through her life after her crash and first stay in hospital. She never had any drive to try and improve her life in any way, shape or form. Even when she tried to do the metalwork sculptures, Faye's approach was pretty much being poked into working by Dora. Faye wanted to stay in form of stasis in her life and was detrimentally reticent to any change in her life and took no risks. When Angus said he had a chance at his dream job, it was Faye's lack of faith in that chance that ended the relationship.
BenRG:
No, it was unwillingness to leave the place where she felt safe and her surrogate family.
