Still, Sven's being an asshole here.
I would tend to agree. I'm just saying he's an honest asshole.
Regardless of the "lack" of commitment (He's fucking Faye, for the love of God. He's probably quite committed to certain bits of her.) he still shouldn't be sleeping around with other women.
Umm... Why shouldn't he? He told Faye it might happen. He told her flat out that given the chance, he would do it - in spite of her threats. He's been honest, and he's communicated his intentions perfectly clearly. After their conversation in 1307, Faye would have to be blind or stupid to believe that Sven is going to give up his old ways. He told her flat out: "I'll sleep with who I want, and I don't care if you leave me over it."
Then again, drunken sex may possibly not count if he doesn't remember.
That's a load of BS. If I drive while passing-out drunk and kill someone, I'm still a murderer. Doesn't make a damn bit of difference whether I remember running them over or not.
I still think Faye's justified in saying "you sleep with anyone other than me, you ain't sleeping with me EVER again."
Faye's free to run her relationships however she wants, and I've got no problem with her wanting to be monogamous. But Sven did warn her that it wasn't likely to happen with him.
Possibly because the presence of fornication in a relationship means you have to be at least a tiny bit committed.
Nah, I don't think so. For some people sex is a casual thing. They go out, pick someone up, sleep with them, make them breakfast the next morning, and then walk out the door. Then they do the same thing all over again the next week. You or I may not like these people, but the fact remains that they do exist, and they do not feel that sex implies a committed relationship.
Regardless of what Sven has been saying only Jeph knows how many QC-months ago, it looks like there has been a, what's the name again... development. Apparently Sven is not as nonchalant about his relationship with Faye as he used to be... Granted, a guilty conscience during the act of cheating (or whatever you like to call this) doesn't equal commitment, but if Sven was convinced that his old rules were still applying 100%, I think he would be enjoying what he is doing a liiiiittle bit more...
Sven is unaware of his full feelings for Faye... that part I agree with totally.
But, Sven's guilt over his hookup does not, in any way, negate his clear communication with Faye earlier. He told her very clearly that he was probably going to sleep with other girls - whether she liked it or not. And then he actually did it. He can feel guilty about it all he wants, but that doesn't make him a cheater.
You can't cheat if you're not in a committed relationship. Period. And Sven and Faye's relationship is about the farthest thing from committed that there is.
