Also, upon rewatching - Jack's own reservations about relationships aside, and he certainly does have those, to me it looks a lot like not only Ianto thinks Jack has problems with being a couple, but that Jack also thinks Ianto might not want that. Which is maybe part projection on Jack's side, but on the whole not inconceivable considering that his own daughter wants him to stay away from her and her family, and there's always the matter of what happened to Lisa. How else do you interpret Jack's 'Now who's a couple?' after Ianto asks him where he's going in that scene on the stairs?
After all the whole discussion started with Jack's hand on Ianto's shoulder in the hospital, which I think was Jack not-so-subtly checking out if the potential new guy would be okay with the two of them. And when Ianto brings it up the first time, Jack replies 'Well, we are. Does it matter?' - So maybe I'm reading this completely wrong, English not being my first language and all, but that's not exactly denial, is it? In fact it looks like pretty much the opposite to me.
