Hope today

After Hope left Ridge and Brooke she started trying to manipulate Thomas telling him she wants to spend every day with him, to laugh with him, to make love to him. He makes her feel like no other man ever has, and then started using sex to reel him in. Steffy is right about Hope being like Brooke because she is using sex to get what she wants.

Hope wants all the benefits of a committed relationship without the commitment. How is a marriage commitment different than what she said she wants? If she can't say yes to marriage, why should Thomas say yes to what Hope is "proposing"? Also, Hope said that Thomas makes her feel valued, appreciated, etc. She says she's lucky to be the woman that one-woman Thomas wants. What is she giving Thomas? I don't think that he feels valued, appreciated or can be confident that Hope is a one-man woman. Hope wants things to go back to the way they were before Thomas proposed, but I don't see why Thomas should accept that. Hope has been calling all the shots in the relationship. What ARE her intentions? (Good question Ridge, and one that Hope didn't answer). Hope and Thomas are not on the same page, and she's made it completely clear that she's not going to marry him, so the mature thing for Thomas to do is to separate himself from her and focus on himself and Douglas.

Most Definitely! I agree with that statement 100 percent!

Hope has felt like that for a very long time... even while she was married to Liam. She wants Tom to design for HFTF, she wants Douglas, she wants the love and the adoration. And since she left Liam, sex was added to the list. I don't think she is doing it maliciously, I believe she expects Thomas to live his life in her back pocket. And for HOPE to reject his gracious and loving proposal of marriage, and then go back to the way it was before, is delusional! THOPE is dead in the water, and that is all on Hope!

I hope Thomas does decide to leave town, at least for a little while. Maybe they can get on the same page later on down the line, but now. Hope isn't ready for marriage, and Tom should move on.
