When you’re dealing with love, it’s easy to let things slide and quickly forgive and forget. But how do you know when you should give your partner a second chance, or when it’s time to officially call it quits? Here are some cases where It’s OK To Give Your Partner A Second Chance.

When They’re Genuinely Sorry

Sorry, not sorry doesn’t really work here. To really move forward after having done something wrong, one must recognize his or her part. Then he or she must realize the pain they have caused and genuinely be sorry about it. If your partner isn’t truly sorry for what he or she did, then what’s stopping him or her from doing it again? There’s a difference between apologizing and actually feeling sorry. You’ll know if your partner is being authentic with his or her apology. If it’s not real, than you should be saying you’re “sorry, but I’m done with you.”

When The Lesson Has Been Learned

If someone does something wrong, how do we know they aren’t going to do it again? Usually they don’t because they learned a lesson. If your partner has learned from whatever he or she did to you, and now knows how to make things right, it’s OK to consider a second chance. If you feel like he or she doesn’t understand the repercussions of his or her actions, then nothing has been learned at all — and sadly, nothing will change.

When You Are Both Committed To Making It Work

Giving your partner a second chance means hoping that whatever happened in the first place doesn’t happen again, but old patterns and behaviors don’t just stop. You two both have to actively work on changing the dynamic. If both of you are committed to making things work, and going to therapy doesn’t make you want to jump out the window, you’ve got another shot at this thing called love.

When Actions Speak Louder Than Words

In order to know whether or not you should give your significant other another chance, you need to go off his or her actions. Words are nice, but honestly, sometimes they are meaningless. If your partner is saying he or she will change, but there is no action showing any proof of this, why should you trust it? It’s OK to give your other half another shot with you if you feel he or she is showing you with great effort that he or she deserves it.

When It’s More Than Love

It’s shouldn’t be enough to stay with someone just because you “love” each other. There has to be more than love. Sure, it’s one of the most important factors in a relationship, but let’s not forget about trust, loyalty and respect. If love is all that is keeping you two together, but you don’t have those other aspects, it’s not worth giving your partner another shot.
