second chances

[alice]

who of you have ever made a second attempt at a relationship and how did it turn out? are there any chances for two people who've already proved they can't be together to get along the second time round?

I think people are more resistant to change than we think, so second chances often (although not always) are pointless.

that just about sums up my own experience.

It'll work. But only if no one drags who they were then back into who they are now. That's the step most can't make.

It can work out..since the two persons have got to know the differences and problems that existed..and this time round..if they r really in love and want to eb together..they would accept teh differences and try to solve or avoid the problems they have faced once and make the relationship successful...coz thst teh whole point of trying a second time round!!

don't worry, i'm not thinking of anything. else i'd be talking about "third chances"
it was clynn's update that made me start this thread.

I tried once.. and he was even more liar than the first time, so I left him

[squirrley]

Tried it, failed too. Theres gotta be a reason why it didnt work the first time, then again alot of people find the second chance has become their strengthing. It works for some and doesnt for others.

Second chances are a bad idea. I've never heard of any couple that pulled one off successfully.
