Thomas is a fool

Thomas told Hope “you waited until now when I am leaving to tell me you love me”. Well he asked Hope to marry you before she told him she loved him
Sounds to me like Thomas jumped the rope first. What did he expect? She hadn’t told him she loved him but she has told him she wasn’t ready and he proposed anyway. What is his problem? Now he has to pack up with Douglas and leave? Go, you sound like a child who didn’t get his way. Take your sister with you

He said he had always known it even though she hadn't said it. I recall many debates about that because I was someone who thought it was a glaring problem that she hadn't said it. Many people debated that she did love him and that her "I love that about you" meant it. So Thomas took it as those people did.

You know I am a Thope fan but I think her telling him she loved him was sincere and she meant it. What I don’t get why the demand for marriage? Why not bask in the “I love you” for awhile

Many people have that question, but it's Thomas' choice. Brooke said today that he'd been devoted to her and wanting a family with her for years. So everyone was aware of that. He, Douglas, and Steffy all said Thomas had given her everything. He's all out of stuff to give. Now he feels humiliated. He said it yesterday. He said she didn't mean to do it, but it's still what happened. He said he had to find his dignity and help his son get over the fact that they wouldn't have a family. Douglas has also wanted that for years.

Yeah, he could have basked in the "i love you," but for him, that stung -- and Steffy didn't tell him to tell Hope that she'd only said it while rejecting him. That was HIS view and he was hurt. Extremely hurt.

I wouldn't appreciate that if I was in his situation. If I've given you all I got to give and have done it for years within the boundaries you allow, but you still can't? It's time to go.

And what if he told people she turned him down for the third time -- and it was three times, not two -- but she finally said she loved him outloud. They'd look at him like he was a fool. Thomas feels like the emperor with no clothes who has just been told he's naked.

Maybe he will heal and maybe she will change her mind. Who knows, but I think it was best for this separation because more happened in their conversation than just the "I love you" that day.

He asked her if she put that ring on her neck without knowing if she'd ever be able to marry him. She didn't answer.

He asked her if she could ever love him like he loved her. She couldn't answer. And this was the most important question because it proves she does not love him the way he loves her.

You know I don't like Thope and you know most of the time I can't stand Thomas and I never believed he'd changed. but I have empathy for his situation.
