Would it have worked? Merged with "Would a SWEET LIFE ever have been possible?"

Yes, it sure worked out well for them!  ;D

Sorry. You're right, though; a little distance can be nice.

My stepmother remarried a few years after my dad died. She and her new husband, Robert, lived in condos in different buildings and, at first, they kept their separate homes. Then after a year or so, Robert moved into her building -- but in a separate condo! They're both busy, successful types -- retired but involved in lots of civic work and other kinds of projects -- and they like having their own space.

As well as the fear of living in a homophobic society, I dont think Ennis, would have ever been happy living with Jack, if it had been the cause of unhappiness to anyone....Alma had moved on, Junior was about to start her own life, and Jenny was doing her own thing now...but Jack still had a wife and a son, and so maybe if Jack had split with Laureen and Ennis saw Bobby leading his own life, then his concious would have maybe let it all happen.....

But I could never see Ennis living with Jack, unless it was in a remote area...where they didnt have to come face to face with homophobia all the time......

If they moved to a new town, where no one knew them, they could have charaded as brothers to the people they got to know.....(thats what my dad and his partner did back in the 60's, when homosexuality was not only looked down on, but it was also illegal).......

Let's see. The relasionship survived 20 years thru the obsticals of marrage,  chidren, living 700 miles apart, homophopia, etc. I would have to say that it would work.

As they got older I truly believe they would have made a life together.  Ennis would have gone a lot farther then around a coffee pot, but they were about to the point where it couldn't be stood any longer, and they loved and needed each other too much, they would have no option but to fix it.

I'm not sure if this thread is would they try a life together (answered that above, lol) or if they did live together would it have lasted.  There is no doubt, none, not even a remote space on that one - it would have certainly lasted.  Man oh man would it have lasted.

My understanding of this thread is that if they did live together, would it have lasted.

I vascilate back and forth on this. I think it would have lasted, but it would not have been an easy relationship. Ennis would have had to make some key changes to be comfortable living with Jack.
