The love that his character Tony shows is amazing. Had I been married to him, there would be no way I would go back to Ireland. During the time she is away, every time she would do something inappropriate I was thinking, girl you are married do NOT go with another guy. But the time away seemed to make her love Tony more.....

I didn't get the impression that the time away was making her love him more. To me the more time she spent back in Ireland, the more she was doubting whether she should even go back to America at all. On this trip back to Ireland, her life was better than it ever had been in her previous time in Ireland: she now had a well paying job in a real career, that she didn't have before, she had her mother, she had her friends, and she had an eligible, successful bachelor that was interested in her.
Only when that mean old shop lady threatened to reveal her marriage did she snap out of the trance, and she was finally reminded of why she wanted to leave Enniscorthy for America in the first place. But before that incident with the shop lady, to me it felt like she was dangerously close to deciding to stay in Ireland. After that incident with the shop lady, her decision became easier. There was no way she could have stayed after that, because eventually the entire town would soon hear through the grapevine about her marriage, and her future life with Domhnall Gleeson would no longer be possible after that.
I did feel sorry for her mom, though. After Ellis' revelation, I was thinking her mom might not be as well off as she would have been if Domnhall Gleeson would have been her son in law. I'm thinking her mom might have even become ostracized for the actions of her daughter. One solution would have been for Ellis to eventually bring her mom over to Brooklyn to live, maybe in a room in that big house that Tony was planning on building for himself and Ellis. That's assuming that the mom would want to come over to America, but why wouldn't she? She herself (the mom) said she had nothing left in Enniscorthy anyway.
