Thomas's Timetable is Wrong

I fully acknowledge that Thomas is counting the entire ten years he's been pursuing Hope in his timeline when he talks about how long he's been waiting. That doesn't make it correct. They've been in an official relationship since December. That's when he needs to start counting. If this was June and they were having this exact same conversation that would be one thing but we're talking three months. That's unreasonable for him to be upset that Hope isn't ready for marriage. Someone needs to tell him that. Instead Steffy convinced him he was right. That's the problem.

How is that fair to him? Why is he expected to work on Hope's timetable and not his own? The clock is ticking for him too. It's not like Hope doesn't know where he's coming from. She has known for years. And fine, even if she needs more time, what's stopping her from getting engaged at least? Thomas would have his commitment and Hope would get her time. Win win. But she won't even do that. It's either her way or the highway. Good for Thomas that he finally put himself first and walked away.

I don't think an engagement is something one compromises on. You compromise on where you live or how big the wedding is going to be. But an engagement is agreed to when both couples feel that it's the right time and know that it's what they want.

Thomas has to work on Hope's timetable on an engagement because she is the only one that can say when she is ready for it. She should accept a proposal only if it's something she wholeheartedly wants, not because Thomas wants it. And she may never want it and that's her right, too.

Indeed, good for Thomas for realizing that he'd rather walk away from Hope than work on her timetable. He has every right to do that. The problem is that, he'll probably realize afterwards that he did it because Steffy convinced him to, not because it's what he wants, and that he was collateral damage in her war against the Logans.

Liam to Hope. Debate over.
