But I can also understand how they did not understand, the phrasing wasn't the best :P or maybe putting more examples and details, but still you are right, Imagine your spouse committing adultery twice and you're still letting her remain with you lol. Of course we forgive even after 10 times but she would be out by the first time. Adultery is no joke, loss of trust and it breaks families.

Yes definately. I know I sometimes can keep details out of story, I need to not do that.
I know that alot would not give once a chance. I think alot of people are not forgiving after the first incident. So I just threw that idea in for maybe someone to consider. I got it from this passage
Titus 3:10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. 11You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.
