Also it's really hard to say if he's actually codependent with her, since her there is nothing in their relationship that is in conflict. I'd argue that Marten isn't codependent; in fact, he's the opposite, seeking out, intentionally or otherwise, either domineering or codependent women in an attempt to fill unresolved emotional issues. Respective examples would be Faye, domineering and emotionally messed up with boundary issues regarding their relationship, and Dora, who actually is codependent and self-sabotaging in a way that provide him a sense of control and power within the relationship.
