Or did he not know what the business really was?
I also thought that Jin didn't know exactly what he was getting himself into, and once he found out, he couldn't get out.

Or will the Professor Sayid set up an aqueduct system to carry water to the beach?
Heh. I saw some bamboo in some scene (with Michael, I think) and thought "Could they make pipes out of that and bring water to the beach?" 'Cuz that's the kind of freak I am.

He told Charlie he had to give something up and the island would give him something. We know what the island gave Locke, what did Locke give the island?
Maybe Locke had to give up any hope of ever leaving the island (in his mind or from his encounter with the monster) since his magic recovery wouldn't travel with him if he did?

His service and loyalty?

Heh.
I got a vibe of "Oh, geez, now we'll never get out from under his [generic rich and powerful megalomaniacal] controlling thumb," from Sun when Jin said he was going to work for her father. In retrospect, I'm not sure whether she knew about his business or not. Well, certainly after Jin came home all bloody and probably before that (after they were married) she had suspicions. But, for whatever reason, they both seemed innocent of it to me in that first flashback.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think Locke gave his trust to the island.

But when Jin pulled out the huge diamond after just finishing agreeing to work with Pops, Sun must have known it was going to take more than 2 years of 40 hours/week labor to cover that.

I'd guess that was the beginning of her, "Huh, seems fishy, but LA LA LA LA I'm in loooooove!!" Which didn't last forever, but love makes you do ... well, you know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Did he become more jealous and possessive over the course of their marriage, or does he feel that being her husband gives him the right to tell her how to dress now, or does he think he's just being a good, protective husband in this strange new situation?
This is what I thought happened. Jin seemed to have a strong sense of honor going in (not wanting to sneak away to get married, etc.), as well as ambition and a lot of self-confidence, and it all got twisted by the work he was doing for Jin's father. I think being so controlling with Jin and going ballistic over the symbol of Jin's father were all symptoms of how far gone he was.
