Teddy’s behavior here is a pretty clear indicator that he has never gone through a real breakup, before. His only “experience” in that department was quite anti-climactic, to say the least.
Teddy literally broke up with someone, and in that strip it looked like he hurt a lot! Dear god what dumb advice! Of course Nate’s going to hurt in the breakup either way, there’s no way to not be hurt.
OK, here’s advice from someone who has never been in a relationship: Talk to the significant other about it. To me, there’s no reason to walk on eggshells around them.
I’m probably wrong, though. I’m still single, but that’s my two cents.
Nate! Simply back up to P2, and REALLY read what you said there, and leave it (instead of going and possibly topping your best screw-up work since 1991…)…….
I remember those crazy days in school when your “friends” tried to tell you to break up with your girlfriend, that she is going to dump you…..sadly it was usually a lie, and the “friends” were trying to date your girlfriend. It was also the same with the girls.

They are NOT breaking up. They wouldn’t draw this arc out this long and then actually break them up.
Also, good on Nate for not wanting to hurt Daphne. He’d rather be the hurt one himself.

Surprising for Nate to not take Teddys advice.
He’s either too bummed out for any schematics, or showing actual maturity!
Probably a bit of both

It suddenly occurred to me…
What if Nate gets detention, and when he gets to the detention room, he discovers…
Daphne’s also there because SHE got detention, and that’s why she couldn’t “hang out with Nate after school”?

I think Nate will go ask Daphne not to leave him, just for hear her say that it was never her intention to leave him.
