no because what was the point of all that yearning if Ian never came first to TJ the whole time and it was always organized crime first like huhhh. acting all in despair cause he was like 'Ian is choosing Jo over me hmph' meanwhile Ian could choose TJ, WAS CHOOSING TJ, and he STILL would put gangster's life first. why build a house??? what you thought Ian was gonna be like "sure! I'll run the gangster empire with you babe<3." I rlly thought TJ was at least mortified at the way he hurt Ian's leg and would move differently but no. what's the point of thinking "what have I done" when you'd literally do it again in a heartbeat?
To summarize, Ian doesn't want to get involved in gangster nonsense, he wants to leave it all behind meanwhile TJ who grew up and used to it, can't leave the gangster's life because this is his life, where he thinks he belongs
