Jack was willing to face the potential perils of living openly with Ennis; Ennis wasn't.

"T" is teary-eyed

A teary-eyed Ennis said, "Jack, I swear...." before closing the closet door and staring out the window at the great bleakness of the vast northern plains.

"V" is vincibly

By the end of Brokeback Mountain, Ennis - who had been the father/husband that his daughters and wife could lean on - has reverted to living vincibly; like the nineteen year old boy who walked into Signal.

"X" is xhortations

Despite Jack's best xhortations, Ennis's fear made it impossible for him to commit to the "sweet life."
