Does she think the negative things about him are just habit and can be changed?
Honestly, I'm really frustrated with idea that Jennifer wants to change Rodney. I have yet to see many people float the idea that maybe she knows he's poorly socialized and arrogant, and kind of an ass, and she still loves him. Because you can love someone and have it not be in spite of their bad qualities, nor because of them, but just because you accept them as a flawed individual. Dealing with all that is part of the package that is a relationship with someone flawed.
That's why I find Jennifer/Rodney to be one of the more realistic pairings we've seen on Stargate. It's not epic, or tragic, or terrible (all of Daniel Jackson's pairings, right there, you know?), it's just two people who meet and fall in love (in fantastic surroundings) and who learn about each other and who learn to accept each other, flaws and all.
ETA: So I guess this thread is turning into a meta discussion? Which I am happy with.
