@njchrispatrick: Woah, I'm a little late. Let's see here.....
1) Wolverine did understand her, especially so in Morrison's run, where Jean not only talked to him about Scott, but about her growing powers and her connection to the Phoenix. That was why he rejected a relationship with her after they kissed. He knew she chose Scott and, as ironic and late as it was, finally respected that, even in her vulnerable state where Scotts distancing from her face her doubts.
2) Scott isn't an angel when it comes to Jean in the creep factor. Not only was his sordid affair with Emma involved role-playing of Dark Phoenix Jean, but the fact that he suddenly decides that he loves Jean again later down the line after proclaiming to Emma and to Jean in Endsong that he loves Emma, not Jean the same way as he did back then and reaffirming this belief to Emma whenever she starts complaining about his constant thoughts of Jean in their relationship. Wolverine may have been a creep, but at least he had shown that he was certain of what he wanted and didn't waver in that.
3) Logan was a temptation and that was only a bad thing, not because he would do her wrong or be a bad partnwr, but because she was already with Scott. It was bad to want Logan while in a relationship, something Logan himself has always reaffirmed to Scott whenever Jean becomes a subject in their bickering. Had Jean not chosen Scott, Jean most likely would have entered a relationship with Logan, which could theoretically have been good for Jean in some ways, bad in others. Scott may be different, but honestly, he currently would be worse for her than anyone else, short of villains and anti-heroes.
4) You feel like Logan would have a problem with Jeans fond memories of Scott, yet Logan has been on the sidelines the whole time watching Jean go with Scott. He has not once displayed hostility towards Jean about Scott and most likely wouldn't if they were together. If the scenario did play out like you say it would, Jean would have knocked some sense into his temper with her powers like she did in Inferno and then talk him through his feelings. Emma may have handled Jeans memory well, I agree, but even she has fought with Scott over how he always thinks of her, even at one point using her powers to make an illusion of herself as Jean to taunt Scott. Logan isn't normally hostile with Jean and I can't see any relationship where he would be, no matter how angry he gets. At worst, he would run away on his motor cycle to think, wanting space because he is a loner. Every couple will have their big fights, but Logan would love Jean too much to give up on her unless she is the one to end things. That is their dynamic in the reationship. Jean sets the pace, whether she wants him to stop coming in to her like h ow she expressed to him during the Phoenix and Dark Phoenix Sagas or if she wants him to get close like in Endsong. It would be Jean who says no more, who would be unlikely considering her loyal nature (as her relationship with Scott shows, even after their big fights)
@hopesummersforthefuture: If that is your reasoning, I say wrong. If the man in question really loved Jean, they would stick by her even through her time as Phoenix. As it stands, all boys have not run from her because of Phoenix, they stayed away because of Scott. Scott ran because he felt the ridiculous notion that she wouldn't understand him and chose Emma in the end, until he lost Jean again and we had to go through with his back and forth of 'I will always love Jean' and 'I chose you Emma, I love you'.
Edit: Also, girl please. We both know that it's the other way around with your obsession with Mott and my grumpy nature towards that shipping.
