@Sugarhoneyicedtea Yeah exactly, people here sh** on Ian so much and like I get it his actions can be frustrating and maybe hard to udnerstand at times, but if u read the story properly it's all explained. Also people have to stop seing Tj and Jo as "victims" to Ians actions, esp Tj. Tj has CLEARLY shown how he WON'T let Ian go and is encouraging their toxic relationship, hes terrible. And Jo has CHOSEN to be with Ian, which has been clearly shown these past few chapters. So please people use your empathy when trying to understand Ian, he has sooo much trauma and pain but is deeply empathetic and very kind. Also I wouldn't be too quick with the "Ian doesn't love Tj" 😅 It's still kinda iffy, I think there still is love but like you said it's mixed in with A LOT of guilt, trauma and feeling of duty.
