I refused to give her a second chance, she didn't deserve it, and in fact she never will no matter who she is, if she blows it with me its over, end of story.
How's that? :)

If you blew it, would you be asking for a second chance? I think your statement is pretty radical and not really realistic. There are times that people do make mistakes, people learn from mistakes and they can improve themselves from those mistakes. I personally have learned a lot about myself and the mistakes that I have made. If I were given a second chance, I am better prepared on how to handle my relationship.Quote:

If I blew it I would not expect a second chance, no.Quote:

If you were not given a second chance it should not rob you of the opportunity to grow emotionally and learn from your mistakes for next time, and if you believe that by not having that second opportunity that it does then who's not being realistic?
With life I think its about taking responsibility for your own actions, and its about time more of us started doing exactly that.
Would not go back. I gave my husband a second chance and he is worse. Now I just complicated it more. Move on and enjoy life. It is too short to have problems.Quote:

If I get a second oppurtunity then go Me!! If not it is very unfortunate. I am very realistic about second chances. My mistake has nothing to do with trust, my biggest mistake was about working too much, too much to enjoy my beautiful girlfriend. The trust was there, as a matter of fact, I was the one that had to endure to trying issues with her. I gave her a second chance, and a third chanCe. I was cheated on, which I forgave her for, and she abused some of my prescription medications. All of which occurred prior to our relationship getting serious. These both occurred within six months of our relationship. Most people would have said "good bye", not I, I stuck by her and we worked through it. It was very tough on me emotionally and it took me a very lonG time to completley trust her. Then I started bustinG my butt, to work for our future, and make money now so we both didn't need to work so hard, then she decides to give up on me. If she gives me a second chance, I am going to cherish the oppurtunity. I realize that workinG is not everything. I just wanted us to be OK.. I would rather suffer a little financially, then not to have my girlfrienD in my life. So if it doesn't work, guess what, I have learned but I think that second chances should be given. By saying that you would never ever give any one a second chance, anD you wouldn't expect a second chance, I feel that you are beinG too closed minded. If you were at least accepting that it were possible would be realistic.
She was my first love that's probably why I took her back 1,2,3,4,5,6 times. But all the time we were apart I never healed myself to really see what the problems/issues I / we were having. And when we got back we still didn't really talk about the problems we were having and 7 months later, break up time. I guess if you do give a person a second chance communicate why/how this happened. I probably will never give a person a second chance again.

Through the 5 yrs we were to gether I broke up with her twice the most I waited was about a week then called a said I was making a mistake(this doesn't include the 5-6 she did to me.)She made me wait On 1 of them about 3 months, 2 of them about 2 months and the rest where a week or two. As far as how many break up I really can't remember. I'm trying to think now and can't I guess it was the stress of the relationship. When she broke up with me it always over the phone and she would just say I want to break up and hang up phone I usually found out a month later why but the firt break up she told me she was going to quit smoking and don't call her for a couple of weeks. About 5 days later I called her because I missed her. When she picked up phone just said I want to break up and hung phone up. I took her 2 months to tell me why she broke up. Talking about torture to myself for3 months (I don't ever want to go through that pain again)
I was in a somewhat similar position. I was with a girl for 16 months. We fought at times. On Valentines Day Weekend, I broke up with her, it last maybe two days at the most. I was just upset. 3 weeks later she was under tremendous stress and she broke up with me. Here I am almost two months later and still really missing her. I attempted to make contact with her several times. I actually went to get my stuff at her house the one day, which made matters worse. She contacted me about a week ago, I sent her jewelry back to her. I asked for the stuff back like a fool. I was hurt, so I wanted to hurt her. Well she called, we talked briefly. She is truly my first real love. Here I am 32 years old, she is 31 we both love each other I know it. We both said some hurtful things when I went to get her stuff. She called me last week, she wants to come to my house on Monday to get her stuff from my house. My friends think she might want to talk. I am looking to get a second chance with her. I have been trying to give her space to think. I know the time has made me a better person, and in the same token has shown me what I really want, which is her. Things will be different if I am given a second chance. Let me ask you, the first time she broke up with you, how long did it last?Quote:

I do think she is the one for me, time will tell, I am trying to give her the time, I am trying to give myself the time.
The question that askes you to read are mine about my ex in my profile "Is my ex fiance comimg back again" and "I think my ex fiance is coming back again". And the ring I asked for mine back to, you should have read the e-mail she wrote to me about that(mean person)Quote:

I told her that I would get it for her, and she paused to think then said her dad would get it for her. I was very nice to her, then she began to stutter and stumble on her words. I asked her a few times what was up? She told me that on May 7th she was going to be relatively close to my house. She had to pick up a dress for a wedding that she was in, and she wanted to stop at my house to get her stuff. After she brought that up, she told me that she didn't want the jewlery that she would never wear it.Quote:

By me acting very nice to hear that bothered her and she came back with wanting to get her stuff. The stuff has been sitting here for two months, and it isn't going anywhere. The only real items of value which she actually wants is christmas decorations from her child hood. To me it sounds the same that she wants to come up to talk about things, not so much about the items. By me sending the jewelry back to her she saw that as an oppurtunity to call me. Needless to say though, the jewlelry is still sitting at the post office, because she hasn't signed for it yet. What do you think about that?

sab123[/QUOTE]It sound like she's doing what mine did to me. I told my ex on one of the break ups to get her camera, she said I'll get later. If they leave stuff behind that can be a door back in. I would give all her stuff back and do NC and tell her that and mean it. If she contact you in the future it probally/maybe means she want get back. But youhave to heal yourself and move on its going to be hard but you have to do it. Because if she doesn't come back You'll always be at square one and will never be able to move on. Don't be her door mat.
When I went to get my stuff from her house. I had no intention of actually getting my stuff. I thought we would be able to talk and work things out. That turned out to be a disastrous event. I felt really bad about getting my stuff then, because like you said that was my door back in. It is going to be tough. I realize what I have done in the relationship. I guess she and I still both care about each other. In my heart I believe she does care and loves me. I think the stress got to her and things went crazy after that.
I will sound completley stupid. But this is what I did... which was completley stupid of me.
I had a boyfriend for 2 year. He cheated on me 6 times (yes, 6) and I broke up with him. Two months later I took him back. We were together for 7 months and he cheated on me 12 times this time! Hot damn, he got around. But I would never take him back again.
I don't think you are stupid, I think you were just in love with him. And I hope one day he meets someone and she cheats on him. I kept taking my ex back to because I was in love with her.Quote:
