In the book, both of them were driving off in opposite directions. But, I ask the same question as far as the movie is concerned.
And, since Jack's mother was Pentecostal, he would have done what a real country boy and the son of a Christian woman would have done, offered the ride as soon as the truck started.

Well, I have had two Pentecostal sisters who lived with abusive and unbelieving husbands and they believed that it would be against God's will to leave their husbands.
It also might be the case that Mrs. Twist put up with him because she felt trapped in that situation financially speaking. Even Ennis Del Mar felt financially trapped and he used that as one of his excuses for not going into business with Jack and his cow and calf operation.

Then you don't know me. I have gone on an overnight fishing trip with a friend and we actually fished. We went to the Arkansas River in a pickup truck and when it started to sprinkle we left the bank and got in the cab of the truck and the we "played with our worms." ;) But, in our case, his wife knew his sexual orientation and she knew that I was gay, too.
Oh, when we were actually fishin', we were using fish (minnows) for bait, not worms.

No, but there were far fewer options for birth control in 1963, and abortion was NOT spoken aloud by most people. If
