it wasn't that so much but the fact that Jack will never be his because he will die and Jack will have to move on - I didn't get from what he was saying that he didn't think Jack loved him back ...

Yea I felt that was what he was saying too.

Well yes, *we* know that's what he means and why, but he describes it to Carlie deliberately vaguely, as "I love him, but he'll never be mine. Life will always move on for him, and one day he'll leave me. He's got no choice. He's become an expert at letting people go."

He doesn't explicitly say to her that it's mortality vs immortality that will part them - and when Carlie replies with "Trust me, you're not an easy person to let go!" she clearly is only thinking that Ianto belives Jack will move on from him by choice, rather than necessity. Which is why I didn't mention the dying bit!
