Cuz TJ sucks!! Yes, I said it. He's a selfish bastard. TJ stans can be mad at me idc, he frickin sucks. He's fine but he's the worse. He is made for that life, he fits it so well so he can stay there all he wants.

Tbh I truly believe Ian given up more for TJ. Downvote me but this is my opinion and how I feel maybe I'm wrong or what I don't know.
Yes TJ has done a lot to protect Ian but I don't think he has ever truly given up something that is really important to him or something he truly care so much about. Like the gang for example. He keep having his cake and eating it too.
Him saying it was both of their legacy when Ian never wanted it in the first place. He stayed for 19 years because he love TJ and saying how ofc Ian doesn't care cus he left it.
Jason try to make Ian leave and guess what happened. TJ sent people to sabotage Ian. Preventing him from leaving the gang and Ian forgave him. Ian doesn't have the same ambition that TJ does but he forgive TJ for what he did and stayed by his side despite it destroying his mental health all because he love TJ. TJ has sabotage Ian career. Put him in prison. Tied him to debt to make him stay a little bit longer. Never once said it out loud that he love Ian and keep on loving him behind close door while he sleep with other women but get jealous when Ian does it. ( Let's all be real. We all know TJ is the one who started sleeping with other people first.)Ian has given up what he has to be with TJ. But TJ only had to give up what I feel is minimal things to him and thinking that what he is doing is for Ian sake as well but It was never something truly selfless but it was to keep Ian by his side for as long as he can.
And I for real thought that he meant to change to figure the situation about gang and leave so they can start a new but man was I wrong. He want to keep his legacy while still being with Ian.
