LOL!
That's RTD for you. Sadly, he can only write one type of relationship, as tencrush said here:

Oh, don't get me started on Jack's ability to commit. Like you said he was married. He was clearly still very fond of Estelle, to the extent that he kept in touch with her even after all those years.
He's being around for so much time and that is precisely why he should have the emotional maturity and being wise enough to know that keeping loved ones at arms lenght is not going to make things better. You'd guess he must have learned the lesson by now and act consequently to make his SO feel loved and cared for.
Otherwise we have a Jack who is a coward, afraid of having his little heart broken while at the same time is a stupid who does nothing to protect the one he loves. According to RTD I should buy the theory that he was so afraid of losing Ianto, so very much afraid that he was trying not to get too attached and then he went and dragged him along in a death trap...
And I really don't know how certain people can drool at the idea of a manslut version of Jack. I mean, let's make him disgusting, why not!
One thing is making Jack a charming, flirting rogue, one is to make him a bastard with no feelings who treats people who love him like sexual objects. What the hell is supposed to mean that he cannot commit? So what the hell was he doing with Ianto? Taking advantage of his male, straight, vulnerable subordinate just to get a convenient shag???
And if he can't commit then don't give me that shit about him pining for Gwen!
I dread the possibility that if they're going on with Torchwood Jack is going to come back for Gwen. Just because I think what happened now in terms of angry fans backlash is nothing compared to what will happen in that case.
