I think that Julie put Sharon in an awkward position by asking that. I don't think she really thought about it and I just don't see her running back to him (especially if her dad has any say - been there done that, im a military brat my dad wouldn't put up with guys like Jacob).
I think that the show if anything has helped Sharon. Sure she misses him, and she even said that she would like to talk to him after the show but I think thats also because Jacob owes her $ and she knows he got a good chunk of change being stuck in sequester (when people were sequestered to be voted back). So maybe she will just try and be 'friendly' until she gets that $. Like hey we can work it out if you help pay off the bills you left ME with.
Im sorry but I think Sharon is smarter then she gets credit for and I think that she wouldn't have talked about Jacob as much had he not came into the house and then people questioned her about him. Like i've said before it wasn't always Sharon bringing up Jacob. As much as people want to put the blame on her for all the blah blah blah Jacob stuff, Ryan/Adam/James ALSO brought him up alot because they knew thats what got her riled up and they liked to annoy Sheila and Natalie.
I also really do not think that Sheila has ANY room to talk. She is 46 and guess what? Still doesn't have life on track (she admitted this), and also from what I hear, her relationships aren't any better. The guy George, she always complained about because she left him with the kid and the dog to show him what she does daily. Im sorry but its her kid, her dog. Yes I get that he has kids (I think thats him she said that did) but still. There is a reason maybe they don't live with him and from what she said they are in his life and he is in theirs. Thats more then alot of kids get these days. I guess you just can't tell a 23 year old (yes folks, remember her age) what to do when your basically doing the same thing.
I can speak from expierence on the whole Jacob thing. Im a smart girl, but I had an ex that got into drugs and I always wanted to bail him out, thats the kind of person I am. But it did get to the point that I knew I had to stop. Some people just want to help others, I myself see the good in people and unfortuently thats not always a good thing.
