That, to me, is the behavior of someone who has changed considerably since his eager "You bet," drinking 12 beers, "Jack Fuckin Twist" days. He's either grown more cautious or more conflicted or both.

How about simply older and wiser?
--- Quote ---The night-before conversation and the breakdown scene suggests internal conflict is at least one big factor. "It's because of you I'm like this." He loves Jack, but he doesn't want to be "like this."

True. He's nowhere and nobody because he kept quitting jobs to run off to the mountains with Jack. And I think it's rather unfair of him to blame Jack for that.
--- Quote ---Agreed. Though at 19 Junior is no longer of coverable age, so the payments would be half of what they used to be.

Seriously, if slightly OT: Once a kid "ages out" of child support, are you still legally liable for arrears that were owed at the time the kid became no longer coverable?

x-man, if I may, I'd like to introduce you to a few golden-oldie, but apropos threads that you might like to peruse at your leisure. I have my own theory, regarding a pact of self-deception that Jack and Ennis share, that gets blown up in the Lake Scene, that helps me understand their psychologies.
How did Jack die?
do you think Jack was murdered or was it an accident as Lureen describes it to Ennis?
sexual orientation, jealousy and the definition of infidelity
Question about the Lake Scene
Lies and deception
You can't say we haven't been thorough, over the years!

Well, I'll give you older.

Do you feel like he's blaming Jack for his financial situation? I feel like he's blaming Jack for his own sexual confusion and screwed-upness.
If it weren't for Jack, he'd be peacefully, if not really contentedly, dating Cassie.

Oh, I would imagine so. After all, let's say Ennis is in this situation with Alma. Alma presumably would have made up the difference to cover the kid's needs out of her own pocket while waiting on his payments. So it becomes a debt to Alma (whether she needs the money or not).

Wonderful old threads! Thanks for posting them, P!
x-man:
Thank you, southendmd, for sending these posting sites my way--not only my way, but to lots of newer BetterMostians who missed them first time around. They will provide food for thought for some time.
Does this mean the ride of the past 4 pages is over? I had thought, in my puppydog enthusiasm, that "There's no reins on this one," but I have to be realistic. "Well, see you around I guess." But maybe some day soon I can say "Swear to god I didn't know we was goin a get into this again," about another topic, perhaps, but with the same preoccupation with all things BBM.
