Would you give someone another chance if they kept treated you badly?

It really comes down to how badly, how many offenses, exactly what the offenses were. Extreme physical violence, where he beats the crap out of me, would be a one and done. Light verbal abuse or arguments, maybe something I started, I'd give several other chances. But if it continued, obviously, we'd be over fairly soon.

Possibly. Really depends on what they did and if they've done something similar before. At the very least, I'd need a sincere apology and maybe some attempt to make amends.

There are so many factors that would go into that decision and even then, every situation is different. I wouldn't have been able to maintain certain family connections if I hadn't been able to forgive some very cruel actions.

That being said, I've recently had to cut a friend out of my life, because I don't think that he fully understands how cruel he has been, for such an extended period of time. I have my limits, and I highly doubt I will let this person back into my life.

It's best to walk away for good but you also have to bear in mind that the rejected person may flip out and kill you. Happens all the time. There are no easy answers but always try to protect yourself from mental, emotional, and physical harm.

For most of my life ive forgiven. Nowadays I don't let anyone's poor judgement prompt such a response or reaction. I tend to focus on something positive involving other people or projects. Life's short

Nope, I would not even look at him the same way before. When I see his face, I see the one person who turned everyone that was supposed to be my happiness against me.
