Do You Think They All Knew? Jacks Parents? Laureen?

She had remained married to Ennis for 8 years after seeing him with Jack so it's not fair to say it was the cause of their divorce. Had Ennis been a better provider, more willing top be social with Alma she would likely remain married to him. She did love him.

Yeah, she adored Ennis, would have stayed and continued to cast a blind eye on the situation if he'd shown ANY interest in her as a woman, or any interest in being a husband...

I think that is where Annie goes wrong maybe, may I dare say!!
That Ennis's wife continues to be married to him, after she sees her husband and Jack kissing so much and mutually!!
?????????????????????????
Hugs to you all!!

A lot of women stay.

Remember, it's a small, rural town in the mid 1960s. Alma's options were very limited, or at least, she herself perceived her options to be very limited. When she does finally dump Ennis, what does she do? Set up a life of her own? No, almost immediately she remarries and goes on being a wife and mother.
Artiste:
Thanks brokenbackjack, and Jeff Wrangler!!
That is still very, very much a big puzzle to me!!
Jack's, wife married the one she worked for? Yes.... his name again?
That puzzles me, right there!
Awaiting your news,
hugs!!
