I love TJ's character, but that man is a quintessential DL top that loves stringing his partner along because he loves the idea of owning them, but not loving them. As good as their sexual chemistry is, TJ really feels more like a parasite that depends on Ian to be the warm body he can crawl to after a long day of living a lie, and somehow yall are villainizing Ian for being tired of being treated like that, lol. Regardless of whoever Ian ends up with, he is not the demon yall make him out to be, and he deserves to be loved out in the open, not just behind closed doors. Jo offers him that, along with a life away from the violence and death he desperately wants to escape from. I'm not judging yall for liking the toxic and borderline abusive dynamic between TJ and Ian (everyone has a problematic fave, lol), all I'm saying is that Jo will always be the better alternative for Ian if he seeks a life of peace and freeing love.
