A Second Chance....

I met a guy who really swept me off my feet. I fell in love hard & fast, and amazingly enough, he fell for me hard & fast, too. We were together for several months, when I got it into my head that because my ex-boyfriend wouldn't leave us alone, and because I was sick & my doctors weren't sure why, I was more trouble than I could ever be worth. I broke up with him and didn't talk to him again for nearly a year. I never got over him. He eventually got my attention in a fairly ... shocking way, and he made it clear that he at least wanted to be able to be my friend. At least. ;) Heh. We're together again, and I've learned my lesson about making up his mind for him! On the flip side of that coin, the ex-boyfriend who wouldn't leave us alone? Well, stupid me, I wound up giving him another chance. He never forgave or forgot anything, and trying to make it work with him was painful, to put it mildly. So, do I believe in giving love a second chance? ABSOLUTELY - but you *have* to be willing to forgive & forget. You can't throw whatever "wrongs" you were done back in the other's face all the time. You can't keep living in the past and being afraid the same "wrongs" will be done to you. It's infinitely difficult to give love a second chance if there is no "forgive & forget." Impossible, more accurately. At least, that's my 2 cents. :)
