the selfish and two faced parts sort of intertwine... she drools and flirts with guys (logan in particular), yet when cyke looks at psylocke he gets shit... and yet he never complained about logan to her...
Up until this re-establishment of Jean=Phoenix, she'd really only be gone after the crash. It was Scott that kept coming back to Jean. He left Maddie for her, not the other way around. And as far as other relationships are concerned, the tension has been there between Scott and Logan from the beginning. And he obviously has a thing for telepaths. Except for the kiss in NXM, Jean and Logan had only been intimate when they thought that all else was lost. Scott was with Maddie because she reminded him of Jean, and with other women because they were there.
As far as him dealing with Jean/Phoenix and resurrections, you can't really complain without looking at him after he was rescued from Apocalypse. He had problems coping with his own issues. He certainly couldn't be expected to cope with Jean being who she was. When she first became Phoenix, he couldn't handle it. When she was just Jean, he couldn't handle it. When she started manifesting Phoenix again, he couldn't handle it. When Jean and Cable rescued him from Apocalypse, he couldn't handle being who he was...Perhaps he finally understood how Jean could have become Dark Phoenix.
And let's not forget that everytime that Jean dies, it's ultimately to save Scott.
