Balancing the investment in the relationship compared to how 'unforgivable' something is... I agree, that's important. It's not even necessary to forgive flaws at the beginning of a relationship, because it's so easy to walk away instead. Hmmm… that’s probably true.

It is a fine line between being a dishrag and being forgiven, though. I also think the forgiveness is more plausible with a long history between the hero and heroine. Few people will forgive someone something big in a new relationship, but with a longer term relationship, they have more invested so they are more inclined to forgive.
