Message: <blockquote data-quote="Miss Texas 1967" data-source="post: 157738" data-attributes="member: 36">Wasn't JR mostly just playing Kimberly? He never intended to marry her, with or without Sue Ellen's cooperation in a divorce. Kimberly was more into him than he was her, then her father died and she flipped. I doubt JR would have actually married her, he would have said just about anything to anyone to get what he wanted and worked hard in the background making deals to ensure he got what he wanted without having to sacrifice what he didn't want to sacrifice. I think if her father hadn't died he would have kept stringing her along while working on Dr Styles in the background, he was already doing that.As for Sue Ellen, I don't think she would have really been anywhere different to where she was when they did separate and then divorce. She was still floating around in his life and by the time she found out about him and Kimberly she had Nick, so I think it would have been as it was until it wasn't. Then later she was still the somewhat bitter ex, making it her mission to annoy him even though she could have easily moved ahead with her life. JR had a tendency to get jealous when she was with other men so I can see him potentially getting jealous, but when she was actively trying to irritate him she never had the same appeal as when she was more helpless (e.g. after their first divorce). Throw all of that out the window if she decided Cliff was the man for her though, or perhaps Bobby, Dusty or Clayton lol. Someone like Nick or Don were less threatening to JR and therefore I think he cared less.</blockquote>
