--- Quote from: sitnspin on 01 May 2019, 20:26 ---It is unreasonable to expect your ex to stop going to places they always went to before just because you broke up. It is, however, perfectly reasonable to ask them to not interact with you while you are both there.

She made it clear she doesn't want to talk to you, go away, Sven.

Expecting him to not talk to her if she doesn't want to: yes, very reasonable
Wanting him gone when it's his sister's engagement party: not reasonable at all, especially since Faye and Sven were basically in an okay place already anyway

--- End quote ---

Yeah. It's like okay his question about Bubbles is a little rude but I feel like most of the other characters get WAY more leeway for being total assholes than Sven does for behavior that is not as severe. Also, she could have just said hi and walked away or even just ignored him. Could you imagine, running into a person you dated but weren't official with for what a few months? and they fold their arms like a child shout no, no , no, and then say they're going into the bathroom, you have x minutes to disappear?

cybersmurf:
The whole Sven situation probably would be different, if he actually were there for the engagement party.
This issues present - IMHO - are as follows:

* The temptation to drink, since they are at a bar
* The burrito horror
* The engagement itself has a certain.... weirdness? to it.
* Sven, being all himself, and Faye being "oh no, not that guy, not now!"
Faye probably just reacted in a way without thinking whether it's a good way to react. I don't think Sven is more than a nuisance here, the only thing that may happen is Faye just leaving.

TheEvilDog:
On the one hand, Faye's history with Sven certainly does warrant her making a quick exit stage left. She's been hurt by him and in several ways, Sven will never change.

But on the other hand;
- the bar they're in is a public place. And unless Faye was in the restroom for a long time, Sven was probably there before her. So she really can't dictate where he should be or shouldn't be.
- Sven is Dora's brother, and if he knows that she and Tai got engaged, Dora probably told him immediately, if not by calling around or by phone, hence why Sven wasn't sitting with them. If he does know, he's got just as much of a right to be there to celebrate as Faye does. And if he doesn't know, well that's just awkward.
- Faye is giving Sven way too much power. She had moved on, she had a loving relationship with Angus and she's now in a loving relationship with Bubbles. She's moved on, or at Faye thought she had.

Yeah, my thought, too. Like a "what could possibly go wrong? oh, that." moment.

Welu:
Sven! I know there's been a lot of... Stuff, with Sven but he's one of those characters I really enjoy watching.
