Charlie couldn't help but alter his perception of Elaine as he observed the transformation from tension to affection between the two. Despite Elaine's numerous flaws, she was the one who genuinely cared and had real emotions in her marriage with Jacob.
As for Jacob, it seemed that he had never truly felt anything for Elaine. Every time he mentioned his past with Elaine, he would complain and grumble. But now, it appeared that Elaine might be his best option. Otherwise, with his personality and way of doing things, even if he had gone to the United States with Matilda back then, they probably would have gone their separate ways by now.
Jacob had an abundance of flaws for a man of his age. However, while other men his age might have three to five flaws out of twenty, or even seven to eight flaws, he had at least eighteen.
So, looking at it from a different perspective, the only woman in the world who could tolerate him until now, apart from Elaine, was probably none other than Matilda. This was also thanks to Elaine's straightforward personality. If she was unhappy, she would scold, and if she was angry, she would fight. So when faced with Jacob's many flaws, Elaine could counteract the harm caused by his flaws with her fighting and scolding.
If it were someone with Matilda's personality, constantly confronted with Jacob's various flaws and internalizing the accumulated frustration, she would probably be driven crazy sooner or later, or even fall into depression.
