It's complete bullshit, which is exactly why that whole situation gets on my nerves so much, and I hate that the show is not-so-subtly perpetuating that idea with the Jack/Gwen stuff.
I don't particularly care if Jack/Ianto isn't a hearts-and-flowers romance thing. I don't really want it to be a "one true love" situation. But I absolutely don't want the "Gwen is Jack's great love" thing simply because it reinforces the wrong ideal.
I also don't want "Jack/Doctor OTP" either, but that's another topic for another fandom. ;)
