Should you give someone a second chance in a relationship? Here’s when it’s smart — and when it’s just you ignoring the truth. No fluff, just clarity.

They messed up. You’re hurt. But they want back in. Now you’re stuck asking the one question we all hate:

Should you give someone a second chance in a relationship?

1. What Exactly Are You Forgiving?

Lie about something big?
Cheat — emotionally or physically?
Ghost you and now they’re “sorry”?

2. Was It a Pattern — or a One-Time Screw-Up?

3. Have They Taken Real Responsibility?

“I was wrong.”
“I understand how I hurt you.”
“Here’s what I’m doing to fix it.”

4. Are They Making Real Changes?

Going to therapy
Setting new boundaries
Being fully transparent now
