Everyone make mistakes, do you think people deseve 2nd chances? For me, most of the time, i said yes. But only one rule, if my man ever cheat on me on the woman fair, he will never have a 2nd chance, the relationship will be over the moment i found out. What's your opinion? Please share with us!

It actually depends on the person. But in general, I believe in life, everyone deserves a 2nd chance. Everyone. Like you said, everyone makes mistakes. Even you. Even ME. That person deserves a 2nd chance to redeem themselves. Of course. But then if they make the mistake again, then there is no say in whether they deserve the 3rd chance. The question should be whether people deserve a 3rd chance? No matter what the person did or how bad the situation is, people change, which is what the 2nd chance is for. 2nd chances are there for the person to redeem themselves.

Or maybe we should say 2nd chance is for those who really want to redeem themselves.

i think it depends on the situation nd i have to agree with u, it also depends on the person, but mainly the situation because every situation has its negatives nd positives............but i guess if u really know and trust the person that much to forgive them then they shall deserve the "2nd chance" but if not then i guess that really defines who ur true friends are.

vivianchen hi, you asked me if the my friend had no part to play and the person made a mistake. i think if a man cheats on me or any other woman i think they should walk away, unless the man has a very good explanation. and the explanation better be good. if not i do not think 2nd chance should be given. My reasons are one this relationship has been destroyed based on trust. even if 2nd chance is given I don not think the woman will be able to trust the man again therefore will always be doubting him. secondly I would like to believe that one a cheater always a cheater . chances he will do it again will be a high for you have shown him he can do it and get away with it by taking him back.

Depends up on the offense that is conducted by the fellow. And then after the intensity of the felling of Repenting that the same fellow is feeling about.

It depends if they have repented and you can see a change in them. Forgive everyone, but don't let them back in to hurt you. Some people will never change.

I think people deserve second chance! We are all human, we made mistake! and that is how we would learn! But depends...sometimes even if knowing the mistake, a person will still commit such...it is unacceptable! else we will not need any law enforcers already if sorry can deal with all!

My first thought was yes, no man is perfect and they deserve a second chance. I start thinking of it from the context of the dregs of our society who molest kids and kill people, and I certainly don't think they deserve a second chance. It really depends on the case and the individual.

yes,same for me.i too believe for any other mistake i can give a person second chance ,thinking that no one is perfect,hence its human to err.they deserve another chance to rectify that mistake.but in case of cheating i wouldn't be able to forget it soon.

Hey!! Same is here too.. I just cannot stand such an incident if it ever happened to me. But if a person cheated unintentionally by intoxication or something like that,and is sorry for whatever he has done,then he must be pardoned for that.In that regard it would be very unfair on his behalf.Separations are painful so before ending a relationship,the points of separation must be a reasonable one and it should not affect any other person like the children.

but if you stay only because of the children, they will be the witness of your unhappy life.

if that's possible most of us think we can do better if we have another chance and won't act fault and hurt others .but the chance must be treated precious by the one who received the second chance and never cheat again. if the man just cheat then ask second chance again and again.then that's just wate of time.

Of course, everyone deserves it especially when the person is very sincere and willing to change then their is a need to give them freedom to change and never restrict them as stopping them could only make them a worse person one could imagine. Well, when it comes to a relationship it may be a bit complicated when it comes to trust one need to be honest to tell his/her mistakes and ask for forgiveness. it is then the final decision lies on the discretion of the partner involves if he/she could forgive and forget then it is acceptable. Otherwise, it would end the relationship futile.

Hi vivianchen: I agree with you. In general every person deserves a second chance if this person admits his/her mistake and it's really sorry for what he/she has done. And I agree with you in the second fact. I will forgive someone that has cheated on me if she ask me to do it and even if she don't ask it but i won't give my ex a second chance because i would not trust on her anymore and that's something very important in every relationship. Thanks for starting this discussion. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. Take Care. -Alvaro.

I think every body in this world will more or less make some mistakes.so if we just give them only one chance then we won't get any friends around us.and i think the chances they deserve will depend on the situations.if you have killed one people,then you most of times will not have the second chance and you have to face the punishment of the law,if you cheat the feeling of your girl friend,then i also think the chance is used up.but for most of the cases,we should gave people the second chance for going back and reselecting the right direction. o(n_n)o...

I agree with you as far as the cheating thing goes. Once someone cheats on their partner, the bond of trust is destroyed and will never be fully repaired. As far as other aspects go it depends on the crime, so to speak, and who the person is. Some people can change. But it depends on what their motivation is and whether they truly want to change or not.

it depends on the sin committed by that person. But here's the thing: loads of couples breakup and then make-up and sometimes things work out great. But knowing when, and under what circumstances, to forgive and forget is key, and most of us won't know until we're thrust into that situation.

It depends on. If it is not a big deal, of course we shall give others second chance. However, if it is the case like affair, I don't think I can get it over. I will mind it and I think at the end the result is still the same. I love China

an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. they'll be forgiven and given 2nd chance but one things for sure, il have my revenge the same thing they did on me. this is to show them how painful it was when you are the victim. it may not sound right but thats the way it is for me

EVERYONE deserves a second chance but never a third. We do make mistakes and that's okay because we're not perfect but it doesn't mean we can make that mistake over and over again. We may not be perfect but we certainly are not dumb. As for the whole cheating scenario, i agree that cheating is unforgivable but if the guy is sincere and apologized and learned his wrong, forgive. And if he does it again, slap him real hard and never forget about him. He doesn't deserve you and you don't deserve to be treated that way. Once is enough, Twice is to much and Thrice is dangerous.

I'm the type of person who loses trust easily. I guess second chance for guys who cheat will do more harm than good. It will make the guy take you for granted. It will make the girl consumed with bitterness. I'm speaking from experience. It would be better to part ways than to deal with a cheating guy you can no longer trust.

I generally believe in second chances in life. But it's extremely ironic for me that most Christians that I've come across in which they believe in Christ and second chances (supposedly), turn right back around and never give someone that hurt them a second chance, or someone that did wrong that's in the spotlight a second chance. Mostly everyone didn't give Michael Vick a second chance except the Philadelphia Eagles, and now he's performing at peak level or still near it. Humans are too hypocritical when it comes to that stuff in my opinion.
