Do you always give second chances? or never?

Yes, I have given second chances, and I believe in second chances, third chances, and ...husbands, boyfriends, parents, etc...everyone gets more than one chance. But with ALL THAT BEING SAID, sometimes, when people continue to hurt you, the best thing to do is simply move on. I don't know the details of your relationship with your father-in-law, but that second chance is up to you whether you want to give it to them or not. Everyone is worthy of love.

Yeah, I think we should give second chance. But only second, not third or forth... I myself used to give my boyfriend a second chance. And now we are a very happy couple and waiting for a lovely child. If I were selfish and didn't give him the 2nd chance, I don't know how we are today. I will give someone the 2nd chance, but only the 2nd, not more chances than that.

It depends on the situation and what happened. Generally I do a one strike system and most people are ignored once they fail this, as I don't like holding onto friends who only deliver disappointment. I'm a very good friend and I feel that if my friends don't meet my standard, they lie or do other things I don't like then I don't really want to be their friend. If I get in a hit with someone, then you can say for sure that they aren't my friend afterwards.

Yes, I do. In fact, not just second chance., I give more than 3 chance., unless of course, the mistake is too big to forgive. Yes, once I had helped my friend monetarily for his studies., later on he got a big posting in a MNC. Meanwhile, I had fallen on some bad time. When I gently reminded about my help and asked for a 'loan' not money back, I was shunned and avoided. I just somehow managed and moved on. The second time, one of my relative applied for a job in his company where my friend himself was an HR,., I put in a word., again, no help. I probably thought my relative was not worthy of the job. But, the final straw came when his BOSS became my client., my friend instead of arranging my interview with him, actually stalled the meeting. It was by pure coincidence that I met the Boss and he became my client.

Yes I gave second chances to other people. For boyfriend or husband I can give second chance,but not third,fourth......, for colleague I can give several chance because that is for our work well. So how many chance you have to give somebody is up to what kind of things and what is the last purpose.

well i give bcs i think that everyone makes mistakes. sure not to just my ex i gave a chance but to other people i get angry with. anyway my ex i gave him many chances to show how much he loved me but he always acted careless so i ended up stop loving him but yes i think we must give second chances bcs sometimes we do things one way and regret and we deserve to start things over for the second time ^^ we have to forgive sometimes. but sure we cant always and always giving many many chances. give a second chance sure but if the person doesnt change we better just let it.

It all depends on what they did and how sorry they are. If they broke my heart , then I wouldn't let them that close to me ever again. But if they broke a promise, Was deeply sorry about it that they apologized the Minute they realiized it then I would give them a second chance.

It depends on who it is and what they did. But in general, I'm pretty forgiving.

I always have given people many chances. But sometimes especially those you gave many chances to, you get to a point that you can forgive and yet hold them at a distance. You know what i mean? You just cant allow them as much access as they once had.

Forgiveness is essential in life, but giving someone another chance is contingent upon what they have done. If someone forgets an important date or appointment and it's not something they usually do, giving them another chance is fine. If someone never tries to remember important dates or blows off someone regularly, they do not deserve another chance to be inconsiderate. Your in-laws had their reasons for splitting up and things like that don't just happen overnight.

well, it depends... there are certain situations when a second chance should be given... and there are also some occasions when second chance should never be given... doing mundane and routine chores and failing can come as among those that deserve a second, even a third chance... giving one's trust, unconditionally, and later breached, will, of course, not among those given a second chance...

Hi Ivygrey?. I will never give a second chance if my boy friend cheating on me, because for once an cheater he will always cheat. If in friendship circle in depend on how hurt is it, I usually give until third chance if I capable to forgive after that if she still make me mad its means I will consider her as a stranger.

I gave my mum a second chance after not seeing her for 3 years and I'm glad I did but it takes a lot of forgiveness and you have to forget what they did to hurt you in the first place. Sometimes it's hard to forget

never :)

I would give second chance to the other fellow so that s/he could improve upon and could realize his/her mistake, is s/he happens to do so.

I think everybody deserves a second chance. Anyway who are we who can't forgive others. Even God gives each one of us a second chance. We should learn how to forget and forget, and try to give others the chance to prove themselves. Because maybe, we don't know, that person learn from his/ her mistakes and will not do the same again. 28 years is such a very long time, and that years for sure counts a lot to your father- in- law to learn from whatever he does to your mother- in- law. I hope they will both learn how to forgive each other and if God's will, start their own life again.

It depends on whether or not the seconds chance can be possible to make a difference. If it means nothing,why will I do that fool thing? But if that really means something meaningful,I would like to do that. For most of the time,I choose to give others a second chance for I trust they can surely hold it well.

Well, it depends. But I once gave a second chance to this person and I never regret it as I am happy now for that decision. He's my husband now and I'm thinking if I didn't give him a second chance at asking me to marry him, I wouldn't be a happy wife and mother to my three kids right now. :)

I always give second chances cus i know that every people can make mistake even if it's deriborately and he beg for excuses !

hi ivygrey if you asking that my answer is yes but look up first what is wrong about , if the wrong is heavy no way to give second chances heart feeling is so deep inside what for we give a second chance at all ...lol... with that .
