So you know how a lot of relationships have come to an end in this comic due to relationship paranoia? Anyone else notice who called it? (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=254)
-
I recall that comic being referenced in the maelstrom after the Marten/Dora breakup.
Aside from Steve, whose breakups we didn't really see, who else has broken up with someone in-comic? Pretty sure it's no one...
-
Raven/Benji.
-
Technically Faye/ Sven, though that was more physical there was still some obvious emotional attachment going on. And the Marten/ Padma cycle... God damn it Marten, you just always pick the emotionally troubled or the women you can't have, don't you?
-
Faye/Sven was less a breakup than an implosion.
And since Marten/Padma wouldn't admit they were a relationship, they didn't break up as much as trail off. Or maybe collapse.
-
I believe the term is "imploded."
-
No, after a few evenings like that (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2077), I'm pretty sure it was "collapse"
:roll:
-
Steve/Ellen was sort of on screen.

I'm put in mind of a fellow of my long-ago acquaintance who, every time another woman entered his life/the same room he was in he would, in his mind, go from the first date to the steady dating to the engagement to the wedding and wedding headaches to the marriage ... (you get the idea) and would be worrying about how the assets would be divided in the divorce and my god, what about the children ... all before the poor/sometimes just unknowing girl had gotten halfway through "What's this guy's name again?"
(He's been married now, for several years. She appears to have a delightful sense of humor, which no doubt serves her well.)
-
There was a scene like that in The Fisher King, with the woman doing the extrapolation.

Yeah. Amanda Plummer. Great scene. "But I still don't drink coffee."

Despite having never even dated anyone, I do this as well. My last children were named Kelly and Ramona.
