Thing is Dean absorbs the lecturing words his family throw at him:

Sam, 4x14: You're too busy sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. Whining about all the souls you tortured in hell. Boo hoo.

-> he's never shown talking about Hell again on screen

Bobby, 4x22: You stupid, stupid son of a bitch! Well, boo hoo, I am so sorry your feelings are hurt, princess! Are you under the impression that family's supposed to make you feel good?! Bake you an apple pie, maybe? They're supposed to make you miserable! That's why they're family!

-> he never tells anyone about how Sam betrays him after that

Sam, 7x13: Look, man, she was not yours. Not really.

-> he doesn't talk about Emma again (except in that script)

How many times have we done this, Interceptor? You betrayed me at one point.

To anyone interested in queer interpretations of Herman Melville's Moby Dick I strongly recommend reading Emma Rantatalo's thesis "A Cosy, loving pair”? – The Elusion of Definitions of Queequeg and Ishmael’s Relationship in Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick.

This text explores the intersections between queerness and race in the context of the relationship between Queequeg and Ishmael and has some really interesting things to say both about how them being an interracial couple makes their relationship possible (within the context of the time and place it was written in and takes place) in the first place, while also exploring how that fact has lead to so many people arguing against interpreting their relationship as romantic or sexual.

In doing so the paper explores and critically examines, among other things:

how Ishmael's race is not often discussed, because society sees whiteness as the default

Queequeg's classification as an other, but simultaneous deviation from then common tropes about non-white characters like the myth of the noble savage

the link between homosexuality and cannibalism in 19th-century perceptions

the myths built around Herman Melville due to his posthumous classification as a "great American writer"

Rantatalo's paper was a very interesting and enlightening read and my hope is that this post will convince at least one other person to check it out.
