Betrayers betray. Regardless of their rationalizations--"it's what I did, not who I am"--one is what one does. More betrayal is almost inevitable.
In the short time of a lifetime the new togetherness will likely end in betrayal, or if surviving, it could be pockmarked by years of betrayals, a kind of Brectian purgatory, more hell than happily-ever-after.
Eternity for the unrepentant betrayer brings inevitable justice--another bad end.
God's forgiveness is always available, but embracing that mercy seems to require admission of wrong if not actual repentance, and their rationalizations preclude either.
Of course these limits on forgiveness are constructed from logic. In the sphere of God's power, one should not be so foolish as to place conditions or limits on God's forgiveness. God's power transcends man's puny logical constructs.
Hope does endure.
