she was older. molly is more likely to know how she feels, being older
and i agree, i don't think she loved him as much. she married burrich, for heaven's sake. she had lots of kids. fitz didn't move onto anyone else. he used women for sexual release (a sign to me that his feelings for molly weren't that pure as well, otherwise he might have saved himself jsut for her, but that's my idea of deep romantic love) but he certainly didn't form a relationship with anyone. she did. evebn thinking he had died, she married again. patinece never married again after chivilary died. ok she didn't have a child to look after, but burrich would have stayed by molly without marrying her and having lots of babies. but she married him because her feelings for fitz weren't as strong as patience feelings for chivilary. or even ketrrickens for verity. she didn't marry again either. and what she said in the farseer series was a child talking. well a young woman, full of love and sillyiness. you can't hold what she says there to fitz as a standard for how she felt. only what she did, and what she did was move on, marry someone else. her feelings just weren't as strong.
