well, if i became your friend i won't take her back. not because i hate the girl, but because she feel that i'm not good for her.

Yes give her another chance if the love was their save it and never to lose coz it is very hard to keep a true love inside. THere are lots of temptations outside the relationship so you need to increase the level of understanding as well as the love you had. Once you become again try to maintain the respect and trust to each other that will be a big help to both of you. Maintain the love more than before.

I totally agree; a relationship should be a mature decision that one should put time and effort in otherwise it would be a flop.

i was about to close mylot and prepare to sleep when i saw this topic of yours. i feel i need to answer somehow and share my experience that involved second chances as well. i have a bestfriend, his bf cheated on her when they were in college, they were sweethearts since highschool.. and they broke up for a year.. and they got back together... well that is second chance. after college and after 5 years of working... they are now married with 1 kid. I think in their case, second chance was very well worth it. my brother, he was caught by my SIL and because they have kids, i would agree that it is worth giving a second chance.. and im glad my SIL forgave him and accepted him back... my bf, i caught him having a textmate who turned out to be an officemate of his... well i saw his sincerity in wanting me back and he is still working hard for it now, to gain my trust back and its a work in progress.. but i took the chance, because i do not want to lose him, well of course not yet. haha as for your friend, he should know, im sure he knew his girlfriend well and that of course, if she is sincere or just lying he would know, and would have an idea. let him trust his heart this time and maybe giving a chance would make all the difference. if she does it again, its shame on her because she blew it big time. and of course he's not to accept her after that...

I am really happy for your brother and I hope things work out that way all the time, I really hope things work out that way.

I do believe in second chances. I would encourage him to have a very serious conversation about what lead her to cheat on him. And she would need to be very honest, and show signs that she is sincerely sorry about her actions. I would also tell him that it's important that she not allow herself to be in situations or with guys that she could possibly cheat on him with. She has lost a significant amount of his trust and that is hard to gain back. But if he's willing to make it work, then she is very fortunate that he is so forgiving. I would also tell him that they should read some type of couple workbook together and apply the counsel. They aren't married but if they want to have a good, long and happy relationship they can benefit from such books.

He said she was sincere when he talked to her, but I do not believe it. I would not know anyway...

Hello cvsuperman16, I do believe in second chances in certain situations but in a situation like being cheated on I don't give second chances, If someone cheated on me there is a high percentage they will do it again, every heard of the saying "once a cheater always a cheater"? If she really loved your friend she wouldn't hurt him friend by sleeping around, How did he find out? did she tell him? if she didn't tell him and he found out on his own that's not good as she could've hid this away from him, And how does your friend knows she hasn't been doing this since there relationship began.
