Six Years / int_1c8e096e	comment	Childhood Friend Romance: Dan and Mel's relationship. Dan's mother even implies that Dan and Mel continue to stay together because they've known each other so long that neither can imagine life without the other, rather than because they're still really in love.

Six Years / int_71e8a5c5	type	Trauma Conga Line
Six Years / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: First, Mel finds out Dan kissed a woman he works with and hid it from her. When she confronts him, things turn violent and he is arrested and held overnight - which he holds her responsible for, even though she tried to stop the cops from taking him. Then, Mel is nearly raped while Dan is out drinking with a woman he already cheated on her with once. Finally, Mel walks in on Dan post-coital with this same woman, leading to a physical fight, a trip to the hospital, and Dan finally admitting he doesn't love Mel or want to spend the rest of his life with her. All in the span of only a few weeks.

Six Years / int_79c2062e	type	Inappropriately Close Comrades
Six Years / int_79c2062e	comment	Inappropriately Close Comrades: Dan is an unpaid intern at ToPo Records, while Amanda is a full-time employee privy to hiring decisions. It is somehow never called out that the two of them are out getting drunk together most nights and that Amanda even comments on Dan's sex life and drunkenly shares her sexual habits with him in pretty significant detail - which basically constitutes workplace harassment.

Six Years / int_c0e3994b	comment	Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Explicitly called out by Amanda, pointing out that if Dan got drunk and pushed Mel into the dresser, no one would make excuses for him. Also invoked when Dan is arrested. Even though Mel started their fight, it's automatically assumed that Dan was the one attacking her.

Six Years / int_ec40626	type	Love Martyr
Six Years / int_ec40626	comment	Love Martyr: Mel is clearly more invested in the relationship than Dan. She stays with him even after finding out he kissed another woman, and despite calling him out for being All Take and No Give when she finds out he's planning to move across the country without her for a job, she worries that she has ruined the relationship and goes over to his place the next day to apologize.
