Assuming we're talking about a friend/acquaintance, a person can be genuinely sorry but sort of be too dim to meaningfully improve their behavior. That said, if they don't at least give a good faith effort to improve then my patience will wear thin and I'll probably want to be around them as little as possible, even if I end up ultimately forgiving them on the emotional side of things.

Nope. If buddy does the thing again, he gets a Hey Buddy talk to remind him he's over the line. You still have to be that proper friend as long as you can.

I don't know that I agree that you have to but sure that's not an unreasonable policy either. I guess it depends on the specifics for me.
