[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 225607, member: 102"] This concept that can also be applied to the effect of having all the Ewings live together in Southfork. JR and Bobby loved each other but they had distinctly different philosophies. They had very different ideas on how Ewing Oil should be run. Those differences would have likely caused less disagreement and less stress between the two of them, had they not lived together. The longer JR and Bobby lived together, the more apparent their differences in thinking became to each other. I think JR and Bobby would have had a much better relationship had they not lived together. When you're constantly around someone, every little thing about them you don't like becomes magnified. You learn more things about them, some of which you won't like. The more you're exposed to those qualities you naturally dislike, the more they grate on your nerves. Bobby realizes just how often JR and Sue Ellen argue and how often JR says mean things to Pam. JR realizes just how judgemental Bobby is. Bobby continually tells people to live up to the standards he has for them, et he can't live up to his own standards! This is part of why even families who love each other don't all live together in the same house. Familiarity breeds contempt. . [/QUOTE]
