Does everyone deserve a second chance?

Question

In a relationship.

ShadowofRegret · Accepted Answer

Depends on how honest or genuine he or she seems about repenting, if they seem like they are truly sorry and regret what they did, then sure, but if they seem like they do not really mean it then probably not.

worldscolide · Accepted Answer

Once bitten, twice shy. I never do second chances..

WhiteShoulder · Accepted Answer

Be VERY careful about giving certain people a second chance

Flower7 · Accepted Answer

No, not everyone.

SydneySentinel · Answer

Sometimes. Tread carefully with matters of the heart.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Sure. but also... if you throw a plate at wall and it breaks. my guess is teh 2nd one is going to break as well. ... unless something is changed somewhere in the process. So in other words, there has to be some discovery, revelation, willingness to revise and alter and fundamentally change. Else the formula is the same, and it's just a science experienemnt to repeat and prove the prior results.

The difference is the relationships is emotional rather than some fragile object. But we break even fall even harder it seems...

sapphireruby · Answer

If you just broke up because you wanted to see other people or because work or school got in the way, then absolutely. If it was something more serous then you need to be careful. People can change and can become better people, but you shouldn't put your self at risk of being hurt. Change can be hard and you need to be damn certain that a person has changed before you start another relationship with them.

EpicDweeb · Answer

The more we think about what a person does or doesn't deserve the more we'll be unwilling to forgive and show mercy to each other because, quite frankly, no one deserves a second chance. Second chances aren't something you give because a person deserves it but because they didn't deserve it. If they deserved it you wouldn't have to give it to them in the first place. It's a matter of forgiving and loving people when they are undeserving and showing kindness through that.

R_Cakes91 · Answer

I think it depends on what happened in the relationship. For example, if my boyfriend cheated on me, I would have to say that I couldn’t give a second chance. If we were having miscommunication or both of us had grown apart, I’d be more obliged to try again.

Clo917 · Answer

No, some people go way too far and deserve nothing from you.

CubsterShura · Answer

Not everyone. Only those who work on changing themselves for the better.

slatyb · Answer

Not in all circumstances. Some breaches of trust are unforgivable. They can start over with someone else.

Magicstar · Answer

Sometimes a second chance is welcome, as long as trust has not been breached. It's kinda hard to rebuild a belief in trust once broken. My experience, has not been favorable for giving them a second chance. Even as a friend. I'm no one's stand by because things don't go well. My true friends and I treat each other with dignity and respect. Third chance.. fact.

suzysuzy · Answer

Not if they cheated or acted abusive in some way, no.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I believe everyone deserves a second chance but my thought  is how many times can one forgive somebody?

TonyMetal_1986 · Answer

I think so owly girlm especially if they are married cause they should stay together forever

englisc · Answer

It depends on the severity of whatever it is they've done. Usually no. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

NickiB · Answer

Everyone? No. If what was done was just horrible. But for the most part everyone is human and make mistakes. Of they truly seem sorry then yes.

guesswhereivebeen · Answer

Or what if they didn’t leave... maybe they were in jail... I mean people get pulled over all the time and a careless cops cigarette sets off some fireworks in their car... and these low rent trigger happy cops shoot over 100 rds into an empty car... happens alll the time where I’m from... he could have been sitting in jail missing the fuck out of his girl hoping this wasn’t what was running through her head

Inv8derChris · Answer

No. Some people are assholes. I wouldn't give someone a 2nd chance to be an asshole to me

Bella9191 · Answer

No not everyone deserves a second chance. But it is a nice thing in human nature to understand that people make mistakes, however, this doesn’t mean someone owes you another chance, it all depends on what they want to do.

BlackRoseFairy · Answer

Not everyone.. Some people didn't even deserve the first one I gave them

skeetskeetskeet · Answer

I hope I do someday... I think I just got dumped.. but maybe it's for the best. Otherwise if me and her went for it from here on out shed always wonder if she fucked up by not going back... I've felt like that a few years back when I dumped a girl I was pussy fucking whipped on... I got together with a new girl right away who was cool as fuck but I could never stop wondering if I'd fucked up leaving the one I loved... turns out it was the best thing I could have done

Grobmate · Answer

Hell no they don't. Chances are based on merit and a case by case basis.

She cheated on you, took over half your assets, over half your retirement savings and alienated you from your children?

second chance?

wingattebaby16 · Answer

i have given 2nd and 3rd chances, but they usually don't work out..

whatsupimnonbinary · Answer

In that case of breaking up or regretting it everyone deserves a second chance. But if it was because of cheating or abuse then they don't deserve a second chance

RawIronhide · Answer

Give people a second chance, just don't expect them to act differently. But no one will question that you tried to make it work and someone might surprise you one day.

Duckysback · Answer

No, in the vast majority of situations they aren’t worth it.

wankiam · Answer

sometimes its clear its never going to work so have to say no but its very difficult to be objective sometimes when you are involved

Kobe8201 · Answer

Depends on the circumstances. Cheating, getting involved with the law, drugs. There would be no reason to get back with someone like that.

Jjpayne · Answer

As long as they are willing to change and show that they do

Jonathan_T · Answer

Regarding your example, it would depend on what you did between breaking up and wanting me back. And also how you broke up

Keith469 · Answer

Generally, yes, but there are exceptions. Third chance? Generally, no, but people are human, so sometimes a third chance also makes sense.

skyboy64 · Answer

Yes. but have to make sure if you are willing to foregive him or her and make a effort to save your friend ship , you have to be the bestest friend you will have.

Mr_Kapstar · Answer

If there's no cheating, then I guess it can be resolved with a serious talk. If cheating was involved, it would only be fair to either cheat on them, or tell them you will only accept an open relationship from now on-wards.

VIVANT · Answer

I love second chances. Giving and receiving. I dislike being taken advantage of. It’s a fine line 😐

LordSnuggles · Answer

No one deserves a second or first chance. If they're given one great but they're by no means entitled or owed one.

likelyOK · Answer

No it really depends on the situation and sometimes I just loose interest when they wait to long

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Not 'everyone', but perhaps: some.  However, before I go for a final end of an episode I would have tried a number of second chances already.

JackSmy · Answer

Depends on the way you left/parted. I don't usually look back, and always move forward.

AndreasM96 · Answer

No, not everyone. Some people do, but speaking from experience, most don't.

CandacePerry · Answer

No it they fuck up for first time. That I don't want that cheating ass back. They found hoe.

loveslongnails · Answer

Depends on what happened and why. Even if you can forgive, it doesn't mean you should get back together.

Jerre · Answer

Yes, in most cases a 2nd chance would be good. However, I am sure there are some situations that a 2nd chance should be give, assault or batter being one.

LeoTello · Answer

No! Depending on situations they might, but for the most part no.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

not all of them. some do but if it was cheating then no

Sasuke124 · Answer

Depends. I gave my ex girlfriend not a second, not a third, not a forth, but like 7-8 chances. And like in July I left her.

luvstoned4him · Answer

Nope not all but God is good and merciful. We have to thank him for seeing today

MannMitAntworten · Answer

I have yet to ever try and get back with an ex and no ex has ever tried either... so, going by that, probably not.

_SOARER_ · Answer

No, but that doesn't mean you dont give them a second chance.

es20490446e · Answer

The problem is that most people choose not to change.

joethemoe912 · Answer

Depends really, there's things I can never forgive like cheating because a cheater will keep cheating like a liar keeps lying.

Confidenceoverload · Answer

It depends most people don’t because as humans we are the worst thing to ever be created but some people genuinely deserve a second chance

ntipp · Answer

I would never give someone a second chance because they can mess you over again. They did it the first time, why would you trust them again?

Yes they do especially if they own up to what they did wrong and are or already bettering themselves on it.

Hunter7754 · Answer

I believe in 2nd chances but I dont think everyone deserves them

Depends on my personal preferences and criteria. No matter what, I would never ever tolerate being cheated on. Other than that, if it was just an argument, misunderstanding etc. I’d give it a try.
