Thank you! I think reading this, especially this line
it shows us neither of them really need each other hugely in order to function as pretty much the same human being.
explains why I like the Jack/Ianto relationship, because it's not the defining thing for either of them.
They can exist separately and be completely fine but choose to stay together.
In a show where so many characters have their relationship or lack-there-of as a motivating factor, it's nice to have one that simply exists, both people get something out of it, but they don't have to be in a relationship.
