You'd think so! But of course the problem is that she wants intimacy, but is equally afraid of it. So she asks Sven for the type of time she used to get from Martin (hang out/fun) and is offended when he doesn't respond similarly.

You know what Faye -- you turned Martin *down*, and you did so because it's easier/safer to control a "nice guy". She acts like she needs someone who's a bit of a jerk to push her out of her safety zone... I don't think she's capable of it on her own. (And yes I have friends who have done this in RL.)

As for Sven, I'd think that he was more of a jerk *except* that he was up front about his expectations. Also, the affair with Gina wasn't at all premeditated, and was fueled in part by his admiration of someone who was famous... and of course, by alcohol.

That he admitted to regretting it was unusual.
