"It's very Oglaf-colored in Marigold's brain"
Well what else would you expect from a fujoshi?
traroth:
So I think we can safely conclude Marigold doesn't know Emily very well...

Okay, this is a technicality, but that was not an established exclusive relationship. So if that's the only example of cheating in QC, we still have never seen cheating in the context of an established, official, monogamous relationship.
I know it would destroy our characters emotionally but that's what Jeph does, and here's how I see it playing out: Emily is just a fun, spontaneous person. She once kissed Marten out of nowhere, and maybe she has more of an 'open' concept of love and relationships, where she doesn't feel monogamy fits her, and she would rather just express love in each moment as she feels it. Dale is inexperienced in relationships, and because Emily is the more socially aggressive of the two, I could see him going along with it if Emily starts explaining her thoughts on free love and non-monogamy, so in the moment he doesn't feel like he's actively choosing to cheat on Marigold, but that's what he does, and that is absolutely how Marigold sees it.
This is probably not how this scene is going to play out, but that's just what's been going through my head while reading this week's strips

If she is of the jealous bent, knowing Emily better would make little difference.
Jealousy isn't logical.
I had an ex who's mind worked exactly like Marigolds... even so far as to have the conversations similar to above in her head... except she then acted as if those conversations took place. Loved her to bits... but stealing my mobile - (and knowing I was going out of my mind thinking I had lost it) - to trawl through it for ANY messages to any female friends, and then replying to those messages with "words of affection" to see if she got similar responses back, was the last straw...
Scariest part? She kinda looked like Marigold!

I wouldn't be sad if Marigold went away for several years until she grew up.
