His whole life was actually with her, except for the running part, but the time of the two of them was misplaced. It's been that way since the beginning. He evenly divided his short life into her normal life, and there would always be times when he wasn't there. While she was waiting, he was already dead. Then you are willing to be with him uninterruptedly, and then be without him uninterrupted, or are you willing to spend a lifetime like her in the intersection of meeting and waiting. If you are a one-on-one person, choose the former, recall the good in your life, choose the latter, and wait for hope all your life.

The Time Traveler's Wife quotes
-
Richard DeTamble: [bitterly] If you traveled back to then, why couldn't you have stopped her from getting into that goddamn car?
-
Alba at Nine: Tell me the story of how you and Mama met?
Henry DeTamble: Doesn't she tell you?
Alba at Nine: She does, but not like you do.
Henry DeTamble: Well, it was right here in this meadow. And one fine day, your mom, who's just a tiny little thing, goes out to the clearing, and there's a man there.
Alba at Nine: With no clothes.
Henry DeTamble: Not a stitch on him. And after she gives him the blanket she happens to be carrying, he explains to her that he's a time traveler. Now, for some reason I'll never understand, she believes him.
Alba at Nine: 'Cause it's true.
