To not believe in second chances?

[MiniDriver91]

I personally think that when trust is broken in a relationship, for whatever reason, you can choose to continue on but it will never be the same.

Sure, there are sometimes reasons to try and make it work (having a family, for example) but do you think that second chances can work?

I know, steppemum. Bizarre, isn’t it?

If we all gave up on each other every time we made a mistake - even a really big one - the world would be a pretty miserable place. Being a partner or a friend or part of a family means sticking by people and cutting them some slack and, yes, giving second chances. No one is perfect.

If what you really mean is whether you should be forced to stay in a situation that is poisoning your life (eg domestic violence, infidelity, emotional abuse), that’s an entirely different question. In that sort of scenario, no, you shouldn’t be pressured into staying under the label of “giving a second chance”.

very well put summer

I think also in relationships, trust is so important. Only you can offer the gift of trust again, it cannot be demanded of you.
Give me a second chance can be asked, but after consideration you may just have to come back with the answer - No.
