Message: <blockquote data-quote="Miss Texas 1967" data-source="post: 272291" data-attributes="member: 36">Their marriage was so awful at that point I wonder if he even cared. Like yes, if she left he'd want her back, but while he had her he didn't do much to keep her. So Sue Ellen's desire for a family barely registered as an interest for him and the idea of going to bed with his wife over and over had long passed appealing it seemed. We have to remember JR and Sue Ellen didn't appear to have a very interesting intimate relationship in the early years of the show, we learn this almost directly when Julie encouraged JR to share his likes with Sue Ellen and he seemed disgusted by the idea. So for him the idea of doing it for pleasure wasn't appealing and the idea of doing it more deliberately to conceive was almost out of the question.JR was pissed when Pam announced her pregnancy but even then he still didn't exactly rush Sue Ellen into mirroring the same circumstances. He appeared to be happier to moan than do anything about it.</blockquote>
