Not Rhetorical
When is a betrayal unforgiveable? Does the line change depending on the level of intimacy (emotional, not necessarily physical) in the relationship? If the betrayed person decides to extend forgiveness, how can trust ever be rebuilt? When does it become foolish to grant the betrayer a second chance?

This is the 10K question, isn't it? I think anything's forgiveable if you really really really can forgive AND forget. I'm kind of sketchy on the last part, so I tend to be harsh. Can you ever trust them again? Might just take time, or it might take a miracle. I tend to be a grudge holding wench, but not everyone's so mean!
Good luck, though, if this is about you...
I concur with your other friend. That's the big question. Practical advice? Don't be me.
The line does change on the degree of intimacy in the relationship, and the reasonable expectations of the parties.
It becomes foolish when you know you're being taken advantage of, and no steps are ever made to both correct the behavior, and repair the damage that has been done.
You can forgive, but can you trust again? Highly doubtful.

I don't want to sound too black and white, but I don't think I would be able to forgive her.
If you cannot respect your partner in your relationship, don't be in one.
I've never betrayed anyone, but I have once been betrayed and I tell you: it hurts like hell.
