Do you believe in giving a second chance to someone if you’ve been betrayed by them?

I think it really depends on the circumstances.

It depends on if the person that betrayed you fully understands what they did to hurt you and has truly asked your forgiveness and has seemed to change over time. If not, then no, don’t give them another chance to hurt you again.

They’ve shown their hand, believe yourself when it tells you they would do it again.

I’m a believer in second and even third chances as everyone make mistakes.

Not on the betrayal

But generally I think people can change

Betrayal is a very strong term and if you use it has to be serious

Doesn’t feel good

Betrayal is a tough one to get over. Once that trust is gone, it doesn’t necessarily come back. I think I might be able to forgive, but I could never forget, and that would prevent me from moving on in a relationship (platonic or romantic) with the betrayer.

I feel a deep sense of betrayal by my husband and family. I feel ive sold myself short in life and my sense of self worth would be higher had i realised and not been a doormat or allowed people to get away with it

Ive given hundreds to a certain woman i foolishly married. Once bitten, twice shy, 3rd time your a flaming mug.

I have forgiven her tho. Doesnt mean, ive let her off the hook - i just dont want to be carrying around resentment and bad karma.

@Ducky I think its a bit of a learning process, for me anyways - theres only so many times you get done over, that the penny finally drops in your head lol.

I give ppl many chances but when they chronically hurt me, then I prefer to end the relationship

Yes so true!!! Ive taken a break from ringing my parents and explained to hubby i resent him for his past foul treatment towards me. Yeah, ive taken a step back and reflected. I’m not really happy but I’m in a tight situation with things because of mental illness being how it is and feel like trapped in current living situation to a point. Hubby has changed as hes got older and hes realised im ill he’s more respectful of me. But idk such a bad history with all of them?

Often people will gaslight you, and blame their behavior on your mental illness and gas light you. Especially with Sz - cos normies will assume your constantly off your rocker. They often take advantage of your low self esteem, and your desire to please people - to fit in.

Yea it’s really hard having mental conditions

Constantly trying so hard to be kind of normal. To keep up with the normie is not easy but it’s possible for some.
