The midrash makes it sound like it's almost a given Law of Nature: Yaakov can never ultimately rest with Rachel... interesting to explore that further...
להבדיל בין הקדש ובין החול
"Impossible relationships. My special gift is impossible relationships." (Pretty Woman)
Note also the Midrash (70:1) pointing out that Neder is integral to Yaakov נדר לאביר יעקב and yet it's exactly Yaakov's neder which is traced as leading to Rachel's death (70:3)...
