Why do ex's ask for second chance?

I guess I'm not the only person who experienced it.. But why is it that they ask for second chance if they have no plan to take care of you? A friend of mine shared her story, She broke up with her boyfriend because he always doesn't have time for her then the guy ask for second chance. The guy did many efforts before he finally let my friend say yes. The worst part is, when they are together again her boyfriend acted the same as before the broke up. It seems that the second chance given to his boyfriend is not worth it. Please tell me, do you agree to give second chance?

Sometimes separation will help us breathe and see things clearly what we really want in our life, either we want it or not. We only realize something if it is no longer in our hands. It's human nature. Men always forget/waste the chance that is given to them. Sometimes they are too confident of the feelings of heir girl. A feeling that her partner love him that much and too weak to let him go.

they ask second chance because they realized what they loose. actually for me better not. After He ignore and disrespect feelings then He comes again asking for second chance..well got circumstances that the girl give 2nd chance because She still love the man.

Well they always say to give a second chance but I think that if you were to do that then you need to give him sometime to change and if by the time that you put you think that he has changed then give him the 2nd chance but if not then just let him go on his way and tell him it's over and thats it there ain't no going back!!! He needs to get over it. They say you never know what you got till you lose it which it's true but if he doesn't change then forget him. I had the same experience and trust me when I say we are not together and it didn't last long at all!!! And he cheated on me!! So I say don't give him a chance until he shows that he has changed. If he doesn't want to prove it then forget him. He is not worth your time!! Hope I helped!! Happy mylotting maria s.

In my opinion, it depends to me on the person on the second chance and then what have they done for us to break up in the first place. Although, in a way, I believe that everyone deserves a second chance no matter what they have done. I don't think that people deserves third chances. After a second time, I think that is it. Now in your friends situation, I would have done the same, and then if he continued with how he was when we first broke up then that would be it, no more chances. In the end, if he asked me for another chance, I would tell him no and walk away.

I don't trust in giving relationships of love a second chance even though in life there are matters where people should be given second if they are able to prove themselves somehow. The second time over the relation is already stale... The magic does somehow diminish but if you have a valued and a good reason its up to you to judge. The person who endures the pain only knows best what it was and how hard a blow it was to you.

Lol. That is a very good question. I have an ex at this very moment trying to get me back. Biggest problem with that is that he dumped me 11 years ago and I have been married the last 8. He seems to think he has a chance, but he is very mistaken. Keeps sending me messages saying he was sorry. Makes me laugh. I find it way too late to try to attempt to even consider trying to fix that mess. Maybe I need to introduce him to my husband now.

We never realize how valuable a person is or a thing is until the time we lose it. This is the main reason why people always ask for second chances. Though most really just do it because they miss the person without ever really seeing the point of the relationship - but the fact that he is comfortable with the setup when she was with him. Second chances only work when the person is truly determined to change. Though change isn't an easy thing to do, for someone who has truly realized his/her loss it's something they're ready to work-on. But due to neglect, second chances do dwindle and die and eventually the person asking for it and the person giving it would just grow tired with the cycle and decide that they're not meant for each other after-all. As for giving second chances, I am not a tough person to plea on. I always give second chances but it'll take a great deal for me to adjust and would probably difficult to please the second time around.

For a woman to give his former boyfriend a second chance is a really tough decision. You love the guy if you give him a chance. But you really need to think of what will be the consequences. It's a matter of taking risk. Because that second chance may be good, or even worse. If you really love him and you want to let the relationship last, I think it is really a big part for the woman to take care of your love. And take care of yourself too. Don't let him abuse your feelings. Have a great day!

we need to see ,whether the people is worth of the second chance.we take a look at everyday life in what kind of person he is.whether he do things all need a second chance,and then failing to cherish,and do thing as same before.i think we can see his way of doing things.if he does not repent,then we determined not to give him a second chance.
