Well I think that this ... Thing ... Or whatever we want to call it is going on with Sarah/jareth has been going on for years because it is implied at the beginning of the film that he has been watching her in owl form (or that's what I got from it). I also think he really loved her. But I think he loves the idea of the woman he sees her becoming in the future, SHE was the one with the book (didn't her mother give it to her or something???) so she kind of had an unfair advantage over all the other runners & maybe his whole speech at the end was meant in the other direction? That he was exausted from living up to her expectations as the VILLIAN? Just a thought

As much as I think a Jareth/Sarah pairing would be the coolest beans going, I think he is a representation of little-girl fantasy and that is why they parted. Sexy "Sire" didn't want to make the raven-haired maiden his consort/wife/queen/bride/sweetheart/partner. He wanted to keep her an emotional infant. Forever. And Sarah decided it's healthier to develop, and the only way to act is healthy because anything else is . . . unhealthy. So, of course, Jareth and Sarah had to part (sorry, shippers) because it wasn't really parting. It was development. Sarah traded the world of dress-up and let's pretend for the world of maturity and real things and social company. Sarah and Jareth parted ways because there comes a time in every young girl's life where she has to take off the princess costume, hang up the tiara, wash the sparkles out of her hair, put on some real clothes, and go out and meet society.

<snip> Sarah traded the world of dress-up and let's pretend for the world of maturity and real things and social company. Sarah and Jareth parted ways because there comes a time in every young girl's life where she has to take off the princess costume, hang up the tiara, wash the sparkles out of her hair, put on some real clothes, and go out and meet society. That is what she did, but what makes me sad is that she didn't have to. THAT may be that hardest part about growing up; so many people don't manage to figure it out. You don't have to take off the princess costume, and tiara, and sparkles to go out and meet society. You find you passion and your follow it passionately, and you don't let anyone or anything get in your way! And that passion may involve sparkles! Or, in my acquaintance, feathers, silk, leather, scale mail bracers with button up shirts, yes a tiara, a pokemon trainer badge, puppets, sequins, corsets, musical instruments, swords, climbing to stupid-insane heights and jumping off them, ponies, chain mail, a consistent lack of pants, and princess costumes worn with stompy boots. Every single one of those belongs to a successful professional person I am blessed enough to know. Henson should have known better; he played with dolls for a living! (Please not the previous sentence is meant in no way to deride the art form of puppetry; I work with professional puppeteers. It is meant to highlight the ridiculousness of being an "Adult" without sparkles.)
