Aww, I kind of love asshole!J2 and I've definitely written them that way I know! But I have always tried to label it when I do.
I like it because I really like flawed and fucked-up characters who don't always do the right thing, especially in romantic relationships when emotions run so high and you can't act rationally or be the better person. I just find that really interesting to explore and write about because I've been there, I've been that hurt person who's lashed out and acted like an asshole and been really really petty and selfish when my heart's been broken or I've had a huge fight with my partner or whatever. IDK, I just find it quite realistic.
I totally agree with you and the people in the comments about woobification and Saint Jensen/Dean. Dean is so not a saint because if he was, he'd be totally boring and we wouldn't love him so much ;-)
