No relationship is easy in "Sons of Anarchy," but Jax and Tara have been through more together than most. Things heat up between the two in earnest after Jax kills Tara's stalker, and it only gets more intense. With Jax's prison stint and Tara set up to rat on the club, the hits keep coming. In Season 6, Tara makes the challenging decision of choosing between her husband and her children. Though Jax isn't consciously aware that Tara is seeking a divorce, he knows their relationship is on shaky ground and finds comfort in the arms of brothel den mother, Colette (Kim Dickens). This enraged fans, a sentiment that Siff shared.

"I'm glad to hear that fans were upset. I was upset as well," Siff told Collider. "I think that they're in such a disconnected place from each other right now. I think that, at the end of Season 5, we saw just incredible disillusionment, on both their parts, with the other person." What the fans are witnessing is the devastating dissolution of a marriage. Tara would not be in danger of going to prison were it not for Jax. And Jax cannot walk away from the club even though he promised Tara he would. This drives a wedge between them on both sides and results in a heartbreaking realization that they may not make it.
