Thanks for the affirmation!  ;)  Seriously, it was nice to read that someone else experienced this as well.

Here's where Jack decided it was futile to give his all to his marriage and to contact Ennis.  In the first shot, Jack is still trying.  The middle shot shows, as Ennis says about himself later, "No more room for me."  In the third shot, he sees it's futile to try to find a place in this family.  It's the scene right before Ennis comes home to find his first postcard from Jack.

Hunh.  :( I never made that connection, before, 'bout the juxtaposition of the scenes, I mean. Thanks, Clarissa!  :)

I always wondered why he still waited 8 months to contact Ennis! Gather up the courage? Doesn't seem like a Jack-thing to wait and think this over for 8 months.

Maybe it was within that eight months that he heard Ennis was in Riverton?  ???
