I keep wondering why Jade is aware enough to see that she needs to backtrack when she's put herself out there and it's not returned, why she is aware enough to honestly tell people that they aren't "together", why she is aware enough to have said that she knows the feelings are much stronger on her side than his, and aware enough to know that BB is targetting her, but not able to stop herself from putting herself out there again and again.
She does having a loving and generous nature but she doesn't seem to love herself first. She is so willing to tolerate Ed's behavior because she doesn't expect anyone to love her openly and wholeheartedly the way she loves in return. Her father seems like a lovely man, but I can't help but wonder if her struggle to fit into two families on two different continents has left her with a feeling that she is never fully loved. Distance and separation are natural barriers to a true feeling of total acceptance, and I wonder if she internalized that strain as a defect in herself.
Ed spoke of admiring Jade's love for her family and her determination to remain connected to both sides. How hard must it be to feel like you have to work at maintaining what should be naturally loving relationships. She does seem to take the burden on herself and seems willing to accept so much less than she's worth once she's given her love and loyalty. We've seen that in the house not only with Ed but with Tim and Drew as well.
I have more thoughts but I've rambled enough for now...
