I remember you being pretty ticked off when Sven and Faye crashed and burned. And though I agree that it wasn't at all kind that he cheated on her, I remember thinking that - really - it was *Faye* who set herself up to be hurt by creating expectations on sand. Sven had never promised monogamy (and in fact kept insisting that he wouldn't commit), and didn't have to tell her about it. But he did, and I think that was probably the straightest that he'd ever played with a woman before. I still expect that he'll be the one with the most regrets in the end.
As for Marigold... oh gosh, haven't we seen this scenario in real life? Shy, nerdy girl, somewhat socially inept) who crushes HARD on the first guy to give her some positive attention. (Again, she's the one building up unfounded hopes and expectations, too.) And yeah, I read Angus's relationship to her as more friendship than reomantic.
I think one of the main things that ticked me off about Sven and Faye's break up was that at the time, there were a lot of hints that they might get back together. And as pissed as I was about Sven (he sort-of agree to Faye's terms and new that sleeping with that chick was a mistake) I DO agree that Faye set herself for a bad ending simply by choosing to screw around with Sven.
I still expect that he'll be the one with the most regrets in the end.
I think we've already seen that this is true.

Yep, yep. And as much as I don't want ANYTHING to happen with her and Angus, and as much as I find her almost a little too otaku to sympathize with, I'm still not looking forward to seeing her get her heart crushed, which seems well-nigh unavoidable at this point.
