To give a second chance?

[BlueberrymuffinsfromCoop]

Do you believe in giving second chances and giving people the benefit of doubt?

Say your DP/DH cheated on you, or lied about something. Would you give him a second chance?

Personally I'd give them a second chance if I really loved them and the relationship was good right up till now, but would make sure they knew next time they do it again, it's done.

Before children then no way, they'd be gone. I might fight a bit harder to keep the family together now depending on the specific circumstances and there would have to be counselling, it would still probably be over though.

Depends very much on the circumstances of course, I tend to think that we’re all allowed to make a mistake in life. So, as a rule, I would give someone a second chance unless the circumstances and consequences of the actions were extreme. —I might be a soft touch of course—

I think people are allowed to make mistakes but if DH cheated on me then it would be over. If I stayed with him I know I’d constantly be suspicious and worrying and I wouldn’t want to live like that.

Your question is unreasonable because it's assuming that all transgressions carry the same weight, which they most certainly do not. It would all depend on the exact circumstances.

Kind of an odd thread since you dont seem to be going through the situation yourself.
