Would Jack have quit Ennis?
Brown Eyes:
This is a great question! I went with an optimistic answer here and chose the "Ennis was making progress..." option. Well, because I think it's true. I think Ennis was making progress and we're given many tiny, subtle clues to this even before Ennis received the deceased postcard. I don't think they would have been able to jump right into living together no matter what. I do think an effort would be made to see each other more. Maybe some baby steps towards progress would have been made. I don't believe that Jack would have ever really been able to "quit" Ennis. I think his statement at the lake makes it clear that Jack understands himself well enough to know that he wouldn't be able to leave Ennis after 20 years. He really doesn't know how to quit him.
Artiste:
Jack lived, Ennis would have tried to be with him more, and he would eventually have made a home with Jack.
I think so...
au revoir,
hugs!

I voted that he woul never quit Ennis, he loved him enough to stick 20 years of the arrangement,so I think things would pretty much have continues.I do think Ennis was changing as he sent the last postcard,and I would have loved for them to move in eventually. I am just not 100% convinced they would which is why I did not choose that option.
Inspired poll though!!!!
Artiste:

That's pretty much how I saw it. I do think that if Ennis had acted on their next meeting like nothing had changed -- or was going to -- Jack would have started to think about how long he could handle this and yes, he might have looked for someone else he at least liked at that point. But it did look to me like Ennis was going to make an effort.
