MG, when you talk about forgiving your H and God forgiving him I have a question about that. Actually about any type of forgiving because I really struggle with it regarding my H. Even if I say it this week can I uphold that next week or next month?

When a sinner sins they can be forgiven for the sin. How long and often do they deserve forgiveness if they keep repeating the same sin over and over?

I'm not refering to just your H or my H, but in general too. I don't recall that God keeps forgiving for the same thing if the person does not repent and change what they are doing. Does He?

If they receive forgiveness each time they knowingly do the same wrong, why change?

There has been so much talk about forgiveness over the years on various threads - for the WAS, the XS, the OP. It all sounds great and peaceful. Maybe that's it, forgiveness is for ourselves and not them? (light bulb moment!) But then why would God forgive over and over for the same thing?

HHmm, the more I type the more confusion sets in.
