May I request that you post this on the LJ as well?

Thanks for the request! I posted the same thing to the lj.

Take a deep breath everyone. We must not forget that Jack was a dreamer, an optimist.
Could they have have had a sweet life together had they reunited before each got married? Maybe. But maybe not. All the reasons Ellery stated are very true.
Would LD have given Jack money to get lost? It is very possible. Alot of money? Maybe not. But enough for Jack to go north to get an apartment and find a job? Sure.
Would things have been complicated if Jack and Ennis divorced both their wives? Hell yes.
I see nothing wrong with Ellerys statement to Ennis. If anything, it helps reduce some of Ennis's guilt that things would have been perfect had he stayed with Jack after Brokeback.
People make choices everyday that effect their lives. The trouble is that we don't know after the fact if they were the right ones or not sometimes.
We all question decisions we have made in the past. But we still dont know where tomorrows decisions will lead us. Pro or con.

Pastorfred,
I guess the main reason for my confusion is that all that Ellery's said to Ennis has never been said before and made a deep impression on me. I've been thinking on it ever since I read the chapter a few hours ago and I tend to agree with all Ellery's said.
Yep, I agree, Jack drove away, could have driven back to Ennis. Ennis walked away but could have decided to get into that truck with Jack.
Any yes, I am SO sick to death of Ennis always being tortured and blamed for everything that went wrong in their lives. There simply is no bad!Ennis and good!Jack.
Thank you for posting this.
