Thomas's Timetable is Wrong

I actually think Hope is putting Thomas first. Sure let them get engage and give him more false hope that they will be married. A broken engagement is just as devastating as a failed marriage. Also she is putting Douglas first, the moment she agrees to be married and "make them a real family" that kid would be devastated if they did not get married. Thomas has been gaslighted by his evil sister to believe things that are not true.

Sure Hope could give into his demands to become engaged, BUT she says she is not ready to get married and Thomas would pressure her to get married the next day.

She should have thought of all that the first time he proposed. Yeah Thomas knew what he was getting into when he continued on her terms after she turned down his proposal the first time but Hope also knew she had no intention of saying yes. Keeping the ring around her neck and dropping little tidbits like she is thinking about it and she doesn't take it lightly were just ways to make sure he doesn't go anywhere. She knew all along she didn't want to marry him. But she was more concerned with her own gratification rather than what another rejection would do to Thomas or Douglas. Hope has been extremely selfish since last July so I find it hard to believe that she's finally thinking of Thomas for a change. And yes she could lie and get engaged and then break it off down the line but as far as she's currently fallen, I think if she did that there would be no coming back for her. That would be unspeakably cruel, to both Thomas and Douglas. And even though it looks like the writers are hellbent on butchering her character I don't think they would dare go that far.

IA that she should have not let him put that ring on the chain around her neck. I do think Hope was honest with him right up until the 1st proposal this year. But, when he changed the status quo by proposing, she needed to end it with him after she told him no. Her face after the proposal and after he put it on the chain around her neck said it all. The look of despair on her face and the way she put her hand to her head behind his back was like she had the biggest migraine in the world. Since that proposal, Hope has been leading Tom on, does she know it? I think she does to some degree. Hope has been selfish since last July. The fact she went to drop her pants for Tom less than an hour after Liam dumped her shows just how selfish and self absorbed she has become. And the fact that she told Tom on the plane just a few days prior that they were a one and done deal in Rome, and was cold to him, also told us what she thought of Tom. Tom is not a long term plan for Hope, never has been, not since the first proposal on the beach years ago. She should have been a more decent human than he has ever been to her or her family, and never gotten involved with him romantically. I don't care that he is now heartbroken and burned...good....he should be made to feel what Lope and Brooke had to feel at his hands....heartbreak and burned.

Tom has now been inflicted with some of the pain he inflicted on Hope and her family. Now he knows a little of what they felt. Maybe it will teach him the lesson he did not learn before, that bad behavior should never be rewarded, and there is always a price to pay for your crimes. Tom is finally paying the price for what he did. Lesson learned. He should be forever denied Hope's whole heart and should take that with him as the lesson he learned from his tragic behavior and the pain he inflicted on others. Tom can now move forward with a piece of his heart in tatters, Just like Lope had to when they thought their child was dead forever. Just like Liam had to when he finally realized there would be no peace in his life with Tom always inserting himself into his life with Hope and Hope allowing Tom into their lives.
