[QUOTE="Miss Texas 1967, post: 157918, member: 36"] I mean they were sort of the same in the sense that when they were hot for each other it was no one else, then JR would cheat and Sue Ellen would be pining after him wondering what she did wrong and how she could bring him back to her, then she'd move on and find a man to fill her wants for intimacy and decency, then JR would get jealous and they'd eventually come back. They hated when the other was with someone else but it didn't stop them from going there multiple times. In the time of Kimberly/Nick they were in a slightly different routine to the usual, but still it would have never been that way if JR hadn't taken those steps with Kimberly in the first place. Sue Ellen didn't cheat with Nick until after she found out about JR and Kimberly. Considering their pattern, I don't think actually making a life with other people was in their heads as a real possibility, because eventually they always came back together. I'm not sure how to answer whether JR could actually commit to another woman. I don't even know if he could commit to Sue Ellen the way she wished he would. The next time he made the commitment of marriage it was because it was that or his life and then redoing those vows he was doing it out of the familial pressure he was under to do the right thing by Cally which ended up being orchestrated by Sue Ellen anyway. We never got to see him properly fall in love again so I don't know if he could. I think Sue Ellen was the woman for him but marriage was not the type of life he could make an honest commitment to. I didn't mind his relationship with Cally, but it wasn't nearly as deep as anything he had with Sue Ellen. Bear in mind too that he did the same thing to Cally he did to Sue Ellen, lied, cheated and generally manipulated the way things were going, in real life that's not healthy. As a fictional couple I love the JR&SE pairing, but in real life I think I'd be telling Sue Ellen woman to woman to get the heck away from JR and stop expecting him to change this time. Or at least go into a rekindled relationship with her eyes wide open. [/QUOTE]
