it's not as simple as that. they were both pretty bad to each other in different ways and were addicted to malachite for different reasons. Lapis liked having control over jasper/malachite and jasper liked the power she felt being malachite, but thanks to spending time with steven, lapis now knows their relationship was unhealthy and doesn't want to feel the way she did with jasper any more. Jasper has been alone since unfusing from malachite and doesn't know the difference between an unhealthy relationship and a healthy relationship, because of this and the fact that malachite was probably her first fusion, she thinks that the pros of being malachite (a huge boost in strength and power) far outweigh the cons (non-stop rage-filled power struggle and torture)
