I agree with what you say. In fact, that is the path that we have taken. My heart has ached, having approached with humility, questioning my own thoughts, my own Christian beliefs, my own morals, and my own family members. We have been patient. We have prayed. All of this over and over.
If the Christian test of scripture, prayer and careful consultation with others (my husband, pastor) repeatedly confirms my thoughts and actions (versus their actions), what does that mean for me? What do I do? If I am pre-occupied (even troubled) by the situation, the lack of coming to a mutual understanding, does that mean that I still have love for this friend? Yet, I feel the best path is to cut ties: That ending the relationship is an act of reconciliation. Am I missing something? (am I confusing?)
Further thoughts, Chris? Other readers?

Everyone, please advise/
From Matthew:
15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d] 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
