What’s something you could forgive your partner for once, but probably not twice?

Question

I think most of us have certain things we could forgive once, especially if the person genuinely regretted it and made an effort not to repeat it… But when the same thing happens again, it can start to feel less like a mistake and more like a pattern. So.. when it comes to relationships, what’s something you could forgive your partner for once, but probably not twice?

When he loses his mind and shouts at me without I'm being responsible for anything.
I allow such mistake just one time, second time it's over. Normal people emotional and can have a bad day.
Cheating and other shapes of disrespect have zero tolerance rule and it's over immemorially.
By the way I don't demand anything I can't keep by myself.

Unfortunately I feel like I have a well of forgiveness for my feelings being ignored, so I have yet to discover it with this boy. I think, I'd be able to get past him yelling at me once but not twice.

Canceling plans for no reason. I get if something comes up with family or an emergency comes up. Anything reasonable like that is understandable. But if they cancel plans just because they feel like it, it and this becomes a normal thing, I think it's pretty inconsiderate and a poor show of character.

I'll always forgive (eventually depending on what they did) them, but sticking around is a different story.. Most people would crazily disagree with me on this one, but if she cheated and was genuinely regretful I would stick around if we had a family already.. Not twice though..

My aim on GAG is to help you decode love, spot red flags, and avoid heartbreak while having a little fun doing it 😏

For me as a coach and as a husband: breaking my trust in a big way.
Not necessarily full-on cheating, but things like hiding serious conversations with an ex, lying about where they were, or disrespecting a clear boundary.

Once can be a mistake.
Twice is a character trait and a walking red flag 🚩

@7phoenix7 Well she threw me down the stairs, once and I broke both of my legs and my shoulder, and I forgave her for that, but the next time pushing me out of the car on the freeway, while driving, ... that was the last straw 😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣 After getting out of surgery, now on crutches. Never forgave her!

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I've thought a lot about this.

If I found out she was making fun of me publicly, or talking about details of our relationship to people.

People tell jokes about their partners, people laugh at their relationships; it's all very normal stuff to do. What is NOT normal is when people belittle their partner in front of their friends for entertainment.
