I don't think love is an excuse for the way JR treated Sue Ellen at times, but he was a flawed character and was intended to be written that way. I think the very fact that JR continued to be pulled back to Sue Ellen (and vice versa) was more than just lust because lust could be satisfied with anyone else in their lives, they were emotionally invested in each other and continued to be so. They have problems, it was not a perfect relationship when you take chemistry out of the equation, they did things to hurt each other which you could argue is in direct opposition to love however to continue to cycle through the highs and lows had to be because of something powerful.JR could have had Mandy but I don't think it would have been a comfortable forever relationship. I think once the high stakes element of their relationship was removed they would have become unsettled.</blockquote>
