I can't blame him too much because he just doesn't function like us, he doesn't "get it".
:nods: Judging by how he was with Rose and Sarah-Jane in SR, or Rose and Reniette in TGITF ("wish me luck!"), the Doctor really isn't the most emotionally sensitive of people. I'm not sure if he ever quite got how intense Martha and Jack's feelings for him were. And if it's the Doctor being insensitive that bothers people with Martha, then truthfully his treatment of Rose wasn't all that different early on. In WW3 he was telling Rose that he's not joining her mother for the dinner she had prepared for him, we're leaving right now or you can stay behind. That's the Doctor for you I guess
For all the focus on Martha, I thought he was much crueller to Jack in series 3 actually, and poor Jack proved much more willing to be emotionally dumped on, than Martha ever was
And I hope we won't see anything too shippy on Doctor Who again, when it comes to him
Oh I don't know, I'd still be up for some canon Doctor/Master *g*
