Do you give people second chances?

It's sliding scale.

If it's someone I don't care about, it's a one strike policy.

Friends I would give two.

There are people I give many, many more chances to. I can count them on one hand. They know who they are and that I love them.

[DarKnight36]

It's always the people we love the most who stab us in the back, my friend.

[MrChinaski]

@darknight36 Hallmark of a true friend is that they stab you in the front.

[AviatorTom]

Everyone makes mistakes. Unless the "mistake" was intentional and grossly violent, a person deserves a second chance.

Remember the old saying...

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

[DarKnight36]

That's a good explanation, but there's a saying: if someone makes a mistake once, they'll likely do it again depending on the circumstances.

[AviatorTom]

@darknight36 Good point. In my book, if they knowingly do it again, they're toast. No third chance

Thanks for MHO

I’m here on GAG to help you decode love, red flags, and all that messy heart stuff 💘

I do give second chances, but not blindly. If they owned their mistake, changed their behavior, and the issue wasn’t a deal-breaking red flag like cheating, abuse, or constant ghosting, I’ll reconsider.

But a “second chance” isn’t a free reset, it’s a probation period for trust.

[MontBlanc]

I do give second chances, but not unlimited chances.

If the mistake was out of character and the person takes real accountability, I think people deserve space to grow. Everyone messes up sometimes.

That said, if it’s a repeated pattern or there’s a lack of respect, I don’t see the point in continuing to invest.

Forgiveness doesn’t automatically mean restoring access.

For me, it comes down to whether there’s genuine change not just words, but behavior.

That would strictly depend on the situation. If I notice any red flags or negative signs like manipulative behaviour, playing hard to get, using the jealousy card, not showing interest in communication or deliberately trying to talk me down etc then no second chances will be given.

However, for some mistakes I do consider giving second chances to people.

[Nikki1989]

Second chances on what exactly? Most mistakes in life are forgivable.

[DarKnight36]

Let's say, for example, your best friend did something bad to you.

[Abbycado]

Depends on what it is. If it is something very minor, sure. Otherwise, no.

[DarKnight36]

To lie

[NathanDavis]

for most things, yes...

just no... on a few things

[Alex-Snow]

I do, I'm a trusting person. But do not fool me twice!

[madhatters4]

depends entirely on what the person did.

[DarKnight36]

To lie

[madhatters4]

big lie? like cheated, lied about who they are, their past? or was it like, i'm really into action movies and later you find out they aren't?

[DarKnight36]

Let's call it a lie told to deceive.

[madhatters4]

i don't know my friend. again it really depends.
she says she doesn't smoke but you catch her smoking... that's a lie right. does the person deserve a second chance. maybe

she says she was with friends when she was banging a guy... for me no second chance

[DarKnight36]

Okay Mate Thank’s for comment Respect you you 🙏🏻

[queenofcardio]

Depends.. Some people don't deserve it

[Zionne]

[dudeinohio]

Depends on the circumstances

[Jeff51]
