Has any of you who gave your relationship a second chance after a break-up? Is love really sweeter the second time around?

second chance is important,it should depend on who he or she is,if he or she is the man you are dispoint ,you needn't give he or her the second chance!no matter in love or other thing!

i experience it! but it is not only second time but a third time,, but for me the sweeter is the first time you tell to your love one that you really love him/her because in second time you have a doubt in your mind or even in your heart am i right?? and aside for that in second time he will be sweet to you only in the first but later he come back to normal..

I would say yes...me and my hubby have broken up more than 2 times already. For 5 years relationship, i think sometimes it's normal. It's more lovelier the second time around!!!

A second chance to a relationship is something that really needs a second thought, according to me. When a couple break-up, it happens due to some very solid reasons. Before continuing, let me take the trouble of defining a break up in my terms. I don't consider a fight induced silence of a couple of days or even a week as a break up, but just a misunderstanding. Now, if you decide to meet up to clear the air, thrash out the issues, and after everything else is done, still decide to part ways, then it is a break up. A break up is resorted to after much deliberation, so I don't exactly jump at a chance to reunite. I would consider the circumstances that have changed in the meantime and how they would affect our chances of staying together. If nothing much has changed, or the changes have no significance, I wouldn't get into it at all. It would just get that much worser if it did not work the second time around too. I would much rather have the person in my life as a friend or a well wisher, rather than nothing at all.

I am lucky enough to say "Yes" to both. My "unhusband" as I call him (we divorced in March) have worked things out and are dating again though takig it slow this time and it is amazing. We have the benefit of knowing each other so well with the fun of dating. We eventualy will work back to being together as husband and wife, no papers though, thanks. :-) This time around we are doing it all right, total honesty, good communication, etc. And it is very wonderful and I consider myself lucky to have a second chance with the man I truly love.

For the most part I have learned that relationships do not work any better the second time than they did the first time. I know that it comes down to the individuals that are involved through. If it was just a fight that tore you apart there may be some hope. My partner and ihave gotten into fights in the past that have almost ended the relation ship, and luckily we were able to move past it. But if you have actually gone all the way and broken up, and move apart then the chances of things working out the second time are almost nill. I do hope that everything works out for you in love. Good luck.

It depends to a situation and it depends also the pain and the damage done between you in your men.
