That’s what codependency does to you. The feeling of “must be with the other” regardless of the indirect harm from the other. There’s gap for Jo as long as Ian sees something in him. And TJ can’t give Ian what he needs, at least not now.
Until TJ does, I don’t think I’ll be happy if they end up together, if they don’t resolve stuff between them and when TJ stops using Ian’s guilt to keep him by his side. When they apologize to each other.
Searched abt codependency and I think you are right. Thanks for telling me that correct term. I am neither team TJ nor team Jo. Ian and TJ are just too entangled that it seemed to me that there's no way for Jo to come in between. But if there is somehow a way, I just hope that it isn't at the expense of one of them.
All this and I still know Ian will end up with Tj. It's still unclear how their relationship developed into this commensalism type wherein one would die without the other but they fit together. It's painful but there's no gap for Jo. I feel sorry for Jo but Tj and Ian must end up together. There's just no way they wouldn't.
