Drunken Old Man:
Easy words to say, tough principle to live by. I've seen more strongly-avowed commitments abandoned for lesser reasons than these.

Having said that, I believe in Faye and Bubs.  I think this situation us going to end up more resembling a speed bump than a roadblock...IF THEY OPENLY AND HONESTLY COMMUNICATE THEIR ISSUES.  When it comes to building a life-long relationship, there is no substitute for communication and compromise. None.

The way I see it, Faye did acknowledge it: "Huh. Okay."
She didn't deny it or make an excuse.
She was concentrating on getting a useable video of the process for Melon, so I can understand why she didn't say more.
It wasn't an apology, but it was in character - I expect she would have said something more to Bubbles later, something like "Oh yeah, thanks for dealing with that thing I f***ed up today Bubs..."
From my viewpoint, the snark from Bubbles was understandable, but regrettable.
Understandable because Bubbles has that built-in military attitude that won't accept a mistake.
Regrettable because no-one is perfect and mistakes will happen regardless of one's best efforts to prevent them.

Also, snufflebottoms has a point - how long has it been since Faye had her vision checked? New glasses maybe?

flondrix:
I need some help.  In which strip did Faye say that she could hear the quotation marks in Bubbles speech, and Bubbles explains how she does it?  Even a general plot location would help.  Is it right after they have sex for the first time?

--- Quote from: derris_kharlan on 27 May 2022, 04:44 ---IMO Bubbles needs to be the one to go for a walk if she feels the need for a break (totally valid). Telling the other person to leave THEIR OWN SHOP (or house, or whatever) just escalates the situation and is unfair.

Pretty cruddy for the person getting a treatment whose body just got messed up. I’d rather have the thorough treatment by Bubbles than the half assed one by Faye… why should the person who will be careful and good at their job be the one to leave?

--- End quote ---

More cruddy to kick someone out just because YOU are the one in a bad mood.  Tell them you need to focus on the task of it needs to be finished now, put off the task til later if possible, ask them politely for some space if you really need it, or suck it up and be angry and deal with that later if the customer is so important.  There was no grounds for Bubbles forcing Faye to leave.  And Bubbles taking a break doesn’t mean Faye has to finish the job while she’s gone either.  Bubbles massively overreacted.
