I want to be around people who honestly fail me, not dishonestly deny that they have hurt me and have no intent to do better. That is destructive for me and for them. If people are owning their sin, they are learning through failure. We can ride that out. They want to be better, and forgiveness will help. But if someone is in denial or is only giving lip service to getting better, without trying to make changes or seeking help, I need to keep my boundaries, even though I have forgiven them.
