Ennis and Jake are homosexuals, bi-sexuals or??

She really did love him, which made her blind to his true nature, which up to the moment of the reunion was completely beyond her experience. I still fault society for forcing Jack and Ennis apart rather than for having driven Alma and Ennis together.

Denial is a very powerful thing. Hell, how many wives hang on for years knowing full-well their husbands are carrying on affairs with other women? There's that, plus an element of shame. What would she tell people was the reason she left him - that she saw him making out with another man? She just couldn't wrap her mind around it. And she had two young children. It's complicated. Just like any marriage is, only moreso (or in different ways).

Thanks fritzkep!
You say this:

Ennis's wife did see the Ennis and Jack kissing ardently and many times and long... it seems that way in the movie.
Maybe so in Annie's story??
But she did not cut off Ennis right away, nor in a week or two... she stayed with Ennis for how many months or years?? That is puzzling to me!
Is it not to you?
Hugs!
fritzkep:
In the words of NeverEnough, DENIAL!
Besides, she probably thought she could win him back, that this gay episode was just something passing, not realizing how deep Ennis's love for Jack was.
Gotta go to bed now, till later!
Artiste:
Thanks fritzkep!
Wow, as you say this concerning Ennis's wife staying that long with Ennis after she saw Ennis and Jack kiss ardently:
that this gay episode was just something passing.
...
I never thought of that!
Would such a lady or ladies think that??
Pray you had a great dream like Ennis and jack... somehow as you like it!!
Hugs!
