@I hate love triangle I'm not trying to make him out to be controlling, or make him out to be a bad person. Actually, I like him as a character.
But he does want money, and he likes the power. It started off with just getting by and keeping each other safe, but it quickly became more than that for him. He says it in one of the many flashbacks. He doesn't want to give up what he's worked for, and there's nothing wrong with that.
And did I say he was trying to chain Ian? I don't think I said that. I didn't say that anywhere in my comment.
He was dating and even potentially marrying a woman to stay in the gang and to keep up an image. He hung around with women to show that he was straight. Being gay in a gang gets you treated like Ian. If he showed it, he'd lose the respect and power he's worked so hard to gain.
He's not doing all of this for Ian. Yes, Ian is and definitely was his motivation, but to say he only does it for him is just wrong.
You'v deeply misunderstood and assumed things about my comment. Never did I say he was selfish, or that he didn't sacrifice, i'm saying he will not give up what he's worked for. Ian and TJ have different goals in life, and that's been the point of contention in the entire story.
