stressed

It's basically that. It depends on the situation and the background.

When it comes to family, I always want to give them a second chance, family comes first and I want to be there for them no matter what has happened or what they've done to me. No matter what might have happened between us or what they've done, I love them too much not to give them as many chances as they need. I feel like family is everything.

When it comes to friends, it depends. If they lie or pretend they are someone they are not, then I don't want to call them friends anymore. That's why I only have a few friends, because I just can't tolerate fake people. If they are true friends and have done something wrong towards me, I will give them a chance, as long as they realize how I feel about it and not just pass it by. If they do it again... nope, they've had their chance.

When it comes to relationships...

Personally, I'd might even forgive cheating and lying under extremely special, extraordinary, and so on, circumstances. I've done that but I've also made it clear that if there's going to be a hint of anything like it happening again I'm going to leave. I like giving second chances and as long as the other person understands my feelings and is honest about it I can gather up strength and give them a chance. People make mistakes, some times huge and unforgivable ones some times smaller ones, and I accept that. But if something happens repeatedly then it passes the point of making a mistake and it turns into taking advantage of the other for personal gain. And that's unacceptable.

I give a second chance. But never a third one. Ever.
