Second chance is a difficult thing to get. Because not everyone is gonna put their trust and feelings like the way it used to be. Deep pain may be the reason why someone is denying to give a second chance. Fatal mistakes make compassion no longer exist.
Everyone would expect to be given a second chance to correct their mistakes. But it's all a choice. Forgiveness doesn't mean giving them a second chance. Sometimes the most comforting thing is to forgive someone and move on without thinking about them.
what about you? have you ever given someone a second chance?

You are right. If you forgive that doesn't mean your giving him/her a second chance.

If they made a mistake once, twice would make me the fool. But others are not taking any other chances.

My husband and I have given a second chance to a family member who blew it once again. Now we can't trust the person at all.

@sophie09 It is complicated. There are too many details that I can't go into here.

For me, yes, and not only second chance but could be third chance.

There was a person that I thought was a friend and we lost touch. I saw her on facebook so friended her and she again let me down and again I forgave her but she did something that was the last straw so that was it and I have nothing to do with her. I used to think that it was her husband was the problem but it was her. I saw the last time I was at her place how she treated him and she had nerve to tell him to apologize to me. I told him he has nothing to apologize about. She manipulates people and uses them. She never was a friend and she never will be again.

Yes I did so willingly but they paid me back in not a nice way.
It can be hard to forgive and specially if the person is very close to you.

Some things are so complex you might have to see to them over and over until the emotional charge in it just fades.

@sophie09 I give out too many second chances. And third. Fourth. I eventually reach my limit and tell people to f*ck off. It really depends on what is being done though. Not everything deserves a second chance.

@sophie09 I don't really want to share any details but it just depends on the person, what is going on and what happened exactly.

It depends. If they have done something unintentionally and that hurted me lot and if they apologize me for it I'll forgive them and accept them and give them a chance again. But they repeat the mistake again and again.... that's it and no more chance

It did happen to me. My high school sweetheart had given me a second chance when I hurt her.

It really depends on a person if he/she will give her/his partner a second/third/fourth... chance. We are all different especially in "forgiveness" Some doesn't give their partners a chance and some are still giving their partners more chances... and those chances are full of hopes that their partner will change..

@sophie09 The one who forgives. You know, if you really love the person... you will not think about pride, you will think about him and about your relationship.. well we all do have our different sides but this is me. But when it happens again (but I'm hoping he will not do it again) I will break up with him, of course all of us get tired when it happens again and again and again... some made their self fool but if you know it's not worth it at the end... then that's the time you really have to give up, if you think you're the only one who is fighting for your relationship.

@sophie09 I married someone whom I knew earlier that he was a worst person but I forgave him thinking that he seems to be changed but it was fake.. He spoilt me completely. We married but he was never changed. Well I am out of it and in peace now

Personally, I know if I give certain people in my life a second chance, that the person is just going to do bad again.
