Sorry is just not good enough when the person lacks complete insight into him/herself as to why the offending conduct was done. Without that, there's no assurance it won't be repeated in the future. Sorry is not good enough when the person lacks true appreciation of the effect that the conduct has had on others. Without that, the apology is just empty words.

When someone says sorry for doing something wrong and keeps on repeating the same behavior. Its like why are you saying sorry when you dont mean it your just gonna keep doing what your doing. For example i can forgive someone for cheating on me. Can i forgive twice no. Screw me once shame on you screw me twice shame on me.

Never
An apology usually comes from the heart. People need to be more forgiving.

When an apology is heartfelt, sincere, and you do all that you can to make sure that what you have done with not be repeated, it should be enough.
