If Hope crosses the line with Thomas and I don’t think she will, if she sees it as a mistake and sorry, Liam has two options divorce or forgive her. Liam has done far worse. How many times did Liam waffle between Steffy and Hope. Liam went to Steffy because he was he upset with Hope. Steffy chased Liam like a mad dog. How many weddings didn’t happen because of Steffy? While married to Hope, Liam and Steffy thought he may have fathered their second child. I remember when Hope and Liam were getting married and Taylor drove like bat out of hell so Steffy could shout out before Hope and Liam said I do that she was pregnant the first time.
If Hope sleeps with Thomas and she still want Liam, he should say very little. He can forgive her or not, or ran to Steffy again but Liam has little room to talk regardless of it being Thomas

Sammy, I don't think Hope will sleep with Thomas (at least not in Rome) but this storyline is more complex than the way you put it. It isn't a simple case of "forgive not forgive". Thomas is the guy who kept Liam's baby from him and phyiscally assaulted him, threatened to kill him, drugged him and hates his family. And Hope has deep romantic, burgeoning and amorous feelings for him and constantly dreams about sex with him. She fantasizes about him in front of her own husband. The sound of her heartbeat gets louder when she is around Thomas but we don't hear the same when she is around Liam. She cried for several days when she hurt his feelings, which shows her feelings aren't just lust. There is a very strong emotional connection between them.

Liam will forgive Hope but there are other things at stake. His happiness, his well-being, his sanity. Hope's happiness and her needs are also important. Douglas' happiness, Beth's happiness are important. The stability of his family is important. Beth won't want to see her parents miserable and fighting all the time because she is in love with another guy and makes everyone around her unhappy. Any child wants to see her parents happy, not fighting. Douglas wants to see his parents happy too. Thomas wants to see Hope happy. Liam wants to see Hope happy. Does this marriage with Liam make her happy? Clearly not this year. Forgiveness and acceptance are 2 very different things. Liam can forgive but can he be happy with Hope in this marriage for the rest of his life knowing Hope has these deep emotional feelings and a strong sexual desire for a man he despises? What about Hope and what SHE wants? She may be married to Liam on the paper, but she isn't happy except when she is around Thomas.

Imo, everyone deserves better. Liam made a mistake with Steffy but he paid for it. Hope walked out and asked a separation. Liam begged for forgiveness for 6 months. He rotted in jail for weeks for something he didn't do. And when he got out, Hope told him she found complete forgiveness. He shouldn't have to pay for this moment of weakness for the rest of his life. If Hope is in love with someone else, he deserves better and Hope deserves better if Liam wears her down like she just said. Beth deserves better than 2 unhappy parents who always fight. It isn't a simple "forgive or not forgive" case here. There are so many other aspects to consider.
