Thank you, Arthgon. I finally figured out what I needed to say for this to make some sense for everyone.

IMHO, we are grossly underestimating the influence of Paul. Remember that I am the one who theorises that he manipulated Jennette into being deflowered after the McCurdycon. I also theorise that he is part of the problem between Jennette and Nathan; in fact, I would bet that if he had been trying to get into her pants before he actually got her on a date, then he would have used his greater experience and, frankly, manipulative ways to drive a wedge between them.

The extra issue here is that she probably had a bit of a falling-out with Nathan over this (Madisen or not) - everyone hated Paul, as we know. But she chose Paul anyway - the guy who controlled her feelings in spite her subconscious being unhappy (remember that we never saw a candid picture of them where she had a smile on her face). Indeed, anyone else remember that Paul started complaining about not being seen much with Jennette after TKTJ? I would bet that he saw what we all did and that he was starting to lose control over her. He would clearly have motivation to reinforce whatever negative feelings she might have had toward Nathan about everything and then to magnify them.

Thus, even though she dumped Paul, the fact that he was her first would make her reluctant to really go back to admit that choosing him was wrong. IMHO, she has to get over THAT as well as any other issue she may have with Nathan, Nick, DS, the paedophiliacs associated with the show, etc. That is going to take a long time. (I will also bet heavy money that Paul was the one who initially manipulated her into her intense dislike of Seddie too.  It is the practise of cult leaders, manipulators, etc. to cut you off from your support system to make you dependent on them and to control you.)  Honestly, I think that she finally dumped Paul because he tried to make  a permanent wedge between her and her family and Miranda - and grossly misguessed her opinion of them. (I hate to say it, but I know of a lot of people who let their first control them if they started dating...)
