Both Jack and Ennis Wanted to be Together ALWAYS?

Watching for months now daily the film or parts of it, am asking if both Jack and Ennis wanted to be TOGETHER for always?

now there is the question!

one we have all been wrestling with...was it even possible if they did want to? Was there (in their minds) any real chance?

I think Jack really wanted it...but I think Ennis was so damaged emotionally that he couldn't even allow himself to dream it.

I think the fact they held a 20 year affair against all odds is proof. The fact that Ennis was "afraid" of being "found out" kept them from living together but not from being with each other. One way or another it was a forever relationship.

that I agree with Ross. I took the question to mean would they want to live together always...like Jack was saying at the reunion (on their own little farm)

but yes, I do believe that their love was one that would (and DID) last a lifetime...

Both Jack and Ennis wanted to be together, in many ways. Tell one way? Or one proof in the film?

well one thing is taking the time and effort to maintain their trips together even though it caused them trouble in other areas of their lives....for Ennis, the loss of jobs; for Jack, Lureen's griping and the long drives...

oh no NOT AT ALL...i think they got married because at that time, that was what was expected of them. If they were alive today, I would like to think they would see there were alternatives...

Thanks injest!!

It remains to be seen in some ways, not to contradict you!

Therefore, are Jake and Ennis both bi-sexuals?? Since, they married to ladies (women)!!

What are your thoughts on that? Or others??
