That was the strength of the film. The tension between the Jack who was more verbal and emotional--- and comfortable being so--- and Ennis's denial and obvious problems with commitment. Did you, perhaps, miss the background of Ennis? Being orphaned at a young age would have exactly that impact.
Jack and Ennis's relationships with their wives brilliantly was shown.
I think, possibly being European, you are used to endless speeches between characters where endlessly they parse their feelings: I'm especially thinking of French films where no amount of discussion of "amour" ever bores anyone involved but never ceases to make me reach for the fast forward button.
To SHOW rather than tell is the challenge to a film maker. You want verbiage? Read a novel.
