Do you easily give someone/something a second chance? I believe in giving a person/something the benefit of the doubt, so I certainly give second chances!! You maybe wondering why I say “something”, in those cases I’m referring to some sites that I have been on.
For an example of some one I have given a second chance is my husband!! lol Yes, we were married before! We were young and family got in the way of helping in the break up. We had been married for 5 years with 2 children. We were divorced for 14 years. We began corresponding and that “old” flame sparked between us. After 6 months we remarried!! We’ve been remarried 71/2 years now!! We’re enjoying our grandchildren together!!
There have been people in my life that have lied to me. I found out about, but still give them a second chance. However, it comes to a point where when all they do is lie, one can never trust them anymore. People that don’t show appreciation. I’ll forgive them one time, because maybe they had “things on their mind.” But when they show no appreciation in every thing you do, it’s also time to give up. I guess a lot has to do with doing things that you would want some one to do for you. Then there comes a time where they still continue to be negative, and that’s when no matter how many chances you give them. it’s NOT worth it.
The somethings that one might give second chances are a job. I had a job one time that the boss wasn’t listening to what I had to say and he wasn’t showing any appreciation to what I was doing. I got another job! He needed the help so I came back. Of course it was the same thing again. This time wen I mentioned that a maid wasn’t doing her job, he actually listened to me. The maid got fired!!
There also have been sites on the internet that I have made money with. They’ve gone downhill for whatever reasons, people leave the site and then they rename their site. I gave a second chance to a writing site and now I’m giving a second chance to a social site that is like FaceBook, but you get paid. The writing site I never went back to because they ended up changing again . The social site I’m close to cashing out.
I always think that if I don’t give them a second chance, that might be the time that it actually works out. I’m hoping my marriage and the social paying site will work out!!

I can let other people have second chance in my life. But if it is for the third time, that's another story. I won't allow it.
Before giving second chance we should know the thing or the person deserve the second chance or not.
I always give a second chance. But if someone is just taking me for granted then I won't allow it. I have no place for toxic people in my life.
I am always doing this to my students. I always give them the second chance to pass. i have to consider the plea for Physics and math subjects that I am teaching are not easy for them to understand. Only few are gifted with the ability to like and understand easily Physics and Algebra ( Mathematics).
This is not easy to give second chance to a person specially when the matter is come to love relationship, because the whole love relationship is based on faith and believes. so in my view this is totally not possible to give a Second chance .
I guess it is a case-to-case basis and second chances are given to people/things that didn't cause too much trauma in our lives. I also believe in the "benefit of the doubt" but there are instances when the pain caused is too overbearing, giving second chances is out of the table.

Very interesting blog
I too have noticed a second chance performs better no matter what it could be. We learn from mistakes.
it is beneficial to give another person or site a 2nd chance to allow them to improve themselves and it is also giving yourself a 2nd chance to reborn again.
Good to hear that you had remarried your ex hubby.
Still, you two have a long way ahead to enjoy your old age together
It is easy to give second chance specially to the person you love..but third chance NEVER?
Yes, three chances must be given to everyone if someone makes anything wrong with you. Because all wise men require just one chance no second and third chance in life. Foolish retiree a lot of chances in life because making something wrong is their mission and it is the fault of character and early education.
I say it is fault of parents who do not teach their children what to at home and out of home and what to do with others. They take life as a bundle of lies and do wrong and earn money and other benefits in life.
Sometimes people screw up. As imperfect beings charged with the power to manipulate, lie, cheat and steal and the emotional sophistication to feel jealousy, heartbreak and outrage, this is to be expected. And so we sometimes find it in our hearts to empathize with the offender and forgive or love them and forget.
We award second chances and some of us are filled with so much empathy or love that we give third and fourth chances. Still other times we do not and the offender must lay down in the bed he made.
The offender hoping for a second chance is usually tearful and offers remorse and promises to change. They arrive with pleading parents, distraught letters from children or character references from community leaders. Our job is to weed through their emotions and ignore our own in order to come to some objective version of the past and present to foretell the likelihood of a more positive future.
