Remember when Elio found him sitting on the rocky shore, he said that he was thinking about several things including Elio, no one else but Elio. Besides, Oliver must had kept looking for evidences from Elio to show that they can be together but maybe he could not. Then once he decided to get married, he cannot cheat his fiancé, that the reason why he refused Elio on Christmas that year and scared of the fact that they might make love again 15 years later when they met again. Because he knew him so well that once he did it, he could not take it back, his life and Elio life would be miserable rather than happier.
I love Elio but Oliver should not be blamed for his decision, because Elio, on the other hand, never attempted to do anything to be in Oliver’s life. After coming back from Rome, he acknowledged with himself that 7 years is the big thing to separate him and Oliver. He didn’t said that he was not fine when Oliver informed about his plan to get married. He knew he could seize Oliver but he didn’t do it.
Both of them knew, it would be too hard for them to be with each other, that why they’d never questioned about the separation as it was obviously.(less)
