However, this relationship is tenuous at best, marked by frequent breakups and annoyance even when together. In [[Donut Unto Others]], Marzipan comments that {{w\|On-again, off-again relationship\|they have broken up at least 17 times}}. As they have always had an {{w\|open relationship}}, Marzipan [[Date Nite\|has also gone on dates]] with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]].

He also seems to miss and need~~ Marzipan~~'s badgering every once in a while. When she was out of town in~~ [[~~Happy Fireworks~~\|~~July of 2005~~]]~~, he carried around a~~ [[~~Cardboard Marzipan\|cardboard cutout~~]] ~~version of her~~ and provided a voice for it. The cardboard version still made similar comments about violence and Homestar's poor grammar that the actual Marzipan would have, providing Homestar with the presumably cathartic opportunity to say "Shut up, Marzipan." Even then, Homestar's relationship with the "Cardboard Marzi" appeared to be tenuous, as he voiced her flirting with other men. Cardboard Marzipan returned in [[~~No Hands on Deck\|August of 2006~~]]~~, when she was slightly more positive with Homestar, and said she was proud of his unusually-constructed deck~~.	+

-	~~In [[Date Nite]]~~, ~~Marzipan went out with The Cheat, much~~ to ~~Homestar~~'s ~~dismay~~. ~~Though~~ the ~~date went well, Marzipan did not stay with The Cheat~~. ~~She later went out with Bubs~~, to ~~Coach Z~~'s ~~dismay~~.	+	Homestar appears to greatly value their relationship, though he frequently displays his typical obliviousness to Marzipan's moods and needs. His frequent (and usually inadvertent) insults or slights are often the causes of breakups. On the ''rare'' occasion that he realizes that their relationship is in jeopardy, he will spring into a desperate ploy to patch things up. He also seems to miss and need Marzipan's badgering every once in a while: when she was out of town, he carried around a [[Cardboard Marzipan\|cardboard cutout version of her]] and provided a voice for it.

-	~~In [[Donut Unto Others]]~~, ~~it was revealed~~ that ~~Homestar and Marzipan have broken~~ up ~~at least 17 times, and~~ that ~~the 17th break-up had reached its 16th anniversary~~.	+	Despite frequent breakups, the fact that their relationship is always patched up again suggests that they really do love each other.
