What do you think about a second chance in short-term and long-term relationships?

[gayesblog]

By short-term I mean the ones that have lasted less than a year.

And for the long-term relationships, we can talk about relationships that last longer than a year.

This is a very situational question but in a short-term feel out what you see is what you get or will amplify. No clean break situationship into short-term then “do it for you will do it to you” Never 👎

Long-term Married: absolutely and no choice the way I was raised.

Long-term S O: 🤷🏻‍♂️…not my department.

It can work, my wife and I got back together after break and together now.

Generally speaking... something, someone has to change, or else you get the same stuff and dynamics and issues. Trying a 2nd time, 3rd time, 4th time... and getting same results makes one a scientist! The reason the chemistry isn't working is the inner persons, sub conscious training/traumas are conflicting.

If it is sexual cheating, then no regardless of relationship length. For short term, I am assuming you imply that there was a "break" in the relationship. And I would not agree after breaking up to get back together, same for long term. In general, I think that if there was a break up, then the relationship cannot go back to the way it once was.

Depends in the person and their actions. Not everyone needs to reenter into your life if they weren't beneficial to you the first time.

[AviatorTom]

Everyone deserves a second chance.

[Agape93]

Everyone?

[AviatorTom]

@Agape93 Yep. Humans make mistakes. A single mistake, whatever it is, can be forgiven... not necessarily forgotten.

[Agape93]

Do you have kids, Tom?

[AviatorTom]

@Agape93 yes

[Agape93]

How old?

[AviatorTom]

@Agape93 They're adults

[Agape93]

Gotcha. If someone raped or murdered one of them, no apologies or anything, would you advocate for him to get a second chance ?

[AviatorTom]

@Agape93 That might be hard, but Yes, I would at least consider a second chance. Remember that we're talking about chances at a relationship in this question.

[Agape93]

I know, I'm discussing your broad statement about everyone deserving a second chance. you're a very different person than I am. I'd break out my tool kit for a few days.

[Agape93]

But no judgement, just surprises me is all lol

[AviatorTom]

@Agape93 Oh, I'd want them to "pay" for what they did.

[Agape93]

Same, but with me the only second they'd get is a second body part before the third and fourth lol

[AviatorTom]

@Agape93 To each his own

[SnowedIn]

I think it depends on what it is but on long term, definitely. Short term? Still depends on what it is but probably.

[MendaciousMarxist]

Bad idea, too many relationships do that and the behavior only gets worse. it doesn't matter how long the relationship has gone on for, people can't change like that.

[Agape93]

It would have to be very minor for me to consider a second chance. I don't forgive and I don't forget.

[Jennz6]

That’s smart

[dustybiker]

Repeat the reasons it didn’t work out the first time? Not worth it. Too many other options for everyone out there.

[Kori1236]

My ex is an ex for a reason. He broke the trust we had and even if he proved every day that he’d change I would never be able to trust him again.

[LazerBean]

Depends on what it is, but anything more than something super minor I typically wouldn't waste time with.

[exitseven]

I used to say no way but now I can see that second chances can be a way to have a do over and do things better.

[Brando10222]

As long as they love each other and want to be together they should go for it.

[AdithyaR]

I wouldn't give second chances. Neither woulf i expect one for me.

[Twalli]

It depends on what the second chance is for

[Anonymous]

I don't give second chances. PERIOD!

[Jennz6]

Sure why not?
