You're talking about repentance. Shocs said she thinks she's a better person not because she sinned and repented, but because she now has more experience than a virgin. That has nothing to do with Biblical principles.

Ours is a religion of redemption. All have sinned, but redemption is offered and it is possible to live a holy live after repentance. Shocs seems to relate that his wife is unrepentant. At least about her premarital sex. I think he said she regrets lying to him, but doesn't regret the sex.
I can understand the distress. It would be disconcerting to find out your wife robbed a bank before you were married and was only sorry that she didn't tell you about it.
