Do-Overs
How many times are you willing to give a relationship a second-third-fourth-etc chance? Generally with me....once someone has blown it....it's over. I'm not advocating it's the best choice. However, I have found it works for me.

I've had a few realationships where I'd try 2 or 3 times. After the 3rd time though, that's it for me.

I guess it should depend on what the 'offense' was and how much it hurt you.

i think it would have to be the severety of the offense. if I got cheated on, there would be no second chance.

I've allowed the relationship a few chances in my mind but my heart usually seems to have a different opinion on the matter.

Mine would be the other way around. My heart may still say yes....but my mind tells me to run away like it was the plague. BTW: My mind is always right....but my heart has been a little goofy from time to time. LOL!

Now all we need to do is figure out how your other organs are affecting your behavior!

But some people consider even thinking of someone as a form of infidelity. Where do you draw the line?

I tend to stick to a one-opportunity rule in case of major screw ups. Other than those major screw ups, I tend to be quite forgiving, and trying.
