Thomas's Timetable is Wrong

That makes sense, I didn’t consider that he was counting all the prior years. Then he’s being even more unfair. It hasn’t even been a year since Rome and even less time that they’re in a relationship. I completely understand Thomas’s POV but I also get Hope’s. She’s the one I feel most sorry for in this situation, my heart is breaking for her. He didn’t give her more time. He had everything he wanted and he just threw it away.

You cannot continue giving someone more time when there's no guarantee they'll come around to your way of thinking eventually. If they decide down the line that they don't want to be married to you, then you've wasted all the time over them when you could have actually found someone who is on the same page and wants exactly what you want. And as I've said before, if Hope will come around to wanting to marry him, then she should agree to an engagement at least. But shes not doing that either. Which means there's no guarantee that she wants a future with Thomas. How is it fair for him to continue waiting then, and wasting all his time when he wants to get married? Let Hope find someone who is content with just having fun and doesn't want a commitment and let Thomas find what he wants. That's how real life works too.

Exactly. And I know people who have had crushes on people since high school. They finally got a chance with them, but then the person didn't want to progress. Knowing they had been in love with that person since high school, they let them go. It doesn't matter how long one person has been in love versus the other. When one person thinks they've been involved for too long, even if it's one day, they have a right to walk away, which is contrary to what the original post states.

The original post states that Thomas should discard and disregard all the time that he has been longing for Hope and dreaming of a life in marriage with her and give her even more of his energy. I vehemently disagree with that.

I completely disagree with that as well. And it galls me to say this because I'm no Thomas fan but his feelings are just as valid as Hope's. He can't discard all the years of loving and waiting simply because Hope wasn't ready at the time and she's ready now. That is just not fair. And if the situation were reversed it wouldn't be fair to Hope either.
