Another part of the problem, the choppy, on/off nature of the relationship and the lack of consequences is a problem inherent in episodic TV, not necessarily shoddy writing, though that doesn't help.
I'm fairly sure that if it had been better written (and if Jacob and Jack had been more different to each other) I wouldn't have found it so utterly objectionable but I don't look to TV shows like Stargate for my romance, the very nature of the show works against it.
