As a man I’ve never in my life had a woman give me a second chance. I once cheated way back in HS. Got dumped for that (after confessing) so it’s no surprise I didn’t get a second chance there. But the other times I got dumped were for much lesser transgressions like just being disconnected. However no woman has ever given me another chance. Never.
For me it’s all about respect. Once I confirm a girl has little or no respect for me I quick her bitch ass to the curb real quick. I don’t look back either. Goodbye and good riddens.
I rather be lonely and have my self respect. I’ve had to do this a few times in the recent years and it felt good. Scary at first but it’s like punching a bully in the face (I’ve never hit a woman). Walking away with self respect is a fulfilling afterwards.
The younger me took way to much shit from women for being a “nice guy”. It didn’t help that my parents brainwashed me into this crap and I grew up watching my mother control and dominate my dad. But if you don’t have self respect you don’t have anything.

I can give both second, third and fourth chances. It all depends of what they did and what other things they did. I will not give a third or fourth chance if they do the same thing as they did before the second chance… but if they did something other wrong maybe they deserve another chance. But in general they deserve a second chance at least. But still, it depends of the overall situation.
cheating for example. If it was a mistake and they really regret it and they are honest about it. They were really drunk and maybe even “thought” it was me. Okay I can give them that second chance. But if they don’t regret it or they lie about it or it comes up that they do it a lot or that they don’t love me anymore etc… No second chance.
Depends on what was done. Best friend basically left because I called him out on something he said he did but I knew he didn’t. We are now friends again after 2 years of no talking. Boy can be a little different story. I went back to this one fling twice and then he tried coming back to me after almost a year and I blocked him. I want this guy I’m crushing on sooo hard rn to come to me I’d give him another chance for sure, but if he did me dirty after that second time and tried to come back a third definitely wouldn’t.
It depends on what, I would never give a sex offender a second chance but if someone did something minor such as forget our anniversary, I would give one chance and allow them to make it up.
It really depends though how much they hurt someone. If they can't make it up, then no second chances, if they can then way more likely to give one.
If they lied and cheated, that would unlikely be a second chance ever.

No second chances I’m that sort of a man.
You do me wrong you be gone.
I’m not standing for any form of disrespect from anyone.
You disturb my peace or my mental health you can bog off.It's not true love from you if that's how you react. Even in relationships there are ups and downs and people unintentionally hurt each other
I voted 'C'. It depends on what they did. Sometimes people make mistakes. But I definitely wouldn't forgive cheating, backstabbing or betrayal.
For me, mutual trust and loyalty are essential in a relationship.Depends on exactly what happened. Nobody’s perfect; I’m certainly not. People make mistakes and as long as we try to learn from them, it’s hard enough to find a real connection so it’s kinda foolish to write someone off that easily
I give multiple chances because people learn to correct their mistakes with more chances. No one is perfect in this world. I expect him to give me chances too
No, not in everything hence I selected vote C. It would depend on what happened.
a second chance is asking to be taken advantage of again
In Islam (and possibly other faiths), G-d forgives all non-apostasic sins. We call Him the All-Forgiver. I made many mistakes, and want not to hypocritically be like the ones who never forgive.
Second chance for what? Cheating? Never. Being late? Yes.
Depends on the situation and if I think the person is worthy of it.
Depends. I don't forgive cheating or stealing from me, for instance.
Not in this lifetime!
1 chance and you’re done
depends on what the person did
