If this is "real" Jen seems like she gives in to peer pressure or pursuaded into doing the opposite of what she wants

Yeah there seems like a LOT of peer pressure going on all masked in the idea of "making progress / working on that issue." Kamala's husband is putting pressure on Kamala's girlfriend to have sex with him or he's basically threatening to make Kamala give up her relationship with the girlfriend because she "isn't being poly" enough. Her girlfriend has to have sex with him whether or not she's really into it she has to act like she does or give up Kamala. And meanwhile Jen is constantly being given ultimatums and has placed herself in a situation where she is living under the roof and rules of these people. That is not an equal situation -- they own the deed to the house and can tell her she has to "give up her drama" and do what they say or she has to leave.
shareJen seems very sad and from what I can tell, seems very pressured to accept a life that she really doesn't want. I think she would benefit much more in a traditional, LOVING, marriage than the situation she is in.
She just strikes me as someone who is looking for a lot of love, and a lot of acceptance. The others, especially Kamala, who comes off like a horny pig to me...seem to be interested in the sexual aspect more than anything else.
She's into it now!
shareOnly because, when Tahl goes off on his encounters she has someone that makes her feel special. I think Jen likes Tahls jealousy over Jesse because it reassures her that Tahl is still attracted to her.
But she is really getting caught up in a mono relationship with Jesse.
I honestly would not be surprised though if jen left tahl and the others to be with jesse...she is in love with him and he shows her way more love than tahl..its going to come down to jesse probably demanding her to make a choice...him or them
"You gave him what he asked for...I gave him what he needed!" ~Legion~
Yeah, I think so too. Tahl doesn't even treat her like his wife or primary, he's so busy jumping in everyone else's pants. He's used Jen as this doll he can put on a shelf and play with occasionally but now Jesse wants to play and he's jealous that she isn't just sitting home pining over him.
shareNot likely haha
She is neurotic and will be equally unhappy in any relationship
She uses the love of one partner to spite another one. She is easily the most vicious and negative of anybody on the show I have seen. Others hurt others because they selfish... Her hurt comes from her neuroticism
Tall isn't a very good partner either and that only magnifies the issues...

I think they're all stupid. It's fine to be in a polyamorous relationship if there is no child in the household, but Kamala and Michael have a child who believes he has two mommies and one daddy. It just doesn't seem healthy marital OR family wise. Can you imagine waking up in the morning next to someone who ISN'T your husband and then bumping into the son of your lover as he scurries off to catch the school bus? It is not a normal environment for anyone. The polyamorous relationship is pure selfishness not selflessness. Marriage is selfless, but the marriages shown in the program are unhealthy. How can one be married to another if she has to play by the rules of a polyamorous relationship? What type of marriage is that? It doesn't work.
shareShe seems pressured into it and also like a Debbie Downer. Not sure how the attraction to her started with the other couple.
shareTo be truly polyamorous, you have to be willing to fall in love with someone else but treat your current girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband as your "main squeeze." If your love for your principal partner is secure, then there's nothing to worry about. Lovers come and go, but soulmates are forever. Jennifer wasn't happy with her living situation, polyamory wasn't what she thought it would be. It has to do with Tahl not taking the intimacy of polyamory and rules for marriage seriously. Every marriage has rules. A polyamorous relationship requires utmost sensitivity towards one another. Tahl didn't have it. He *beep* up his marriage and now Jennifer is in a monogamous relationship with someone.

Well, yeah, I think she was into it for tahl.
I read somewhere that they split up and her and jesse proposed.
I hope she's happier than she appeared on the show.
