Like Nostalgia said somewhere, Russell seems to have this thing of wanting to make the heroes approachable and human, and he seems to constantly do this by making them conflicted about those they love a la Rose/Mickey, Gwen/Rhys and indeed Jack/Ianto. Why he thinks making people come off as cheating bitches will endear them to us, I have no idea.
