4 Situations In Which A Second Chance Is Worthwhile

You would like to give your relationship a second chance, but you don’t know if it’s a good idea? We invite you to think about it with us. 

You have decided to take a break from the relationship because not everything in the relationship works as you imagine it and you do not want to cause yourself any pain? You are now asking yourself whether a  second chance  makes sense?

The doubts are justified because when there is a break or the end of a relationship, there are valid reasons for it after all. Most of the time, a  second chance is  not a good idea because the relationship could enter a vicious circle.

But in some situations it  can still work. This is exactly what today’s article is about: forgiveness and a second chance in certain circumstances where it can be worthwhile.

1. Much more than love

The first thing you should consider is whether your partner offers you what you want in life. We are not talking about material things,  but about emotional and psychological well-being.

A common example of a situation in which a second chance can be worthwhile: The partner had to move away for professional or other reasons and no relationship at a distance was possible or this was not desired.

If the partner comes back now and you are aware that tenderness, security, fun and a deep friendship still connect you  , it may be true love. 

We’re not talking about convenience or that you don’t want to meet another person. But it may be worth asking yourself  if you really want to try this relationship again. 

Perhaps the time of distance made both of you aware  that it was a lovely relationship that deserved a second chance. 

2. When the problem is no bigger than love

Whether or not you want to give a relationship a new chance  depends entirely on you and how important the things were that led to the end of the relationship.

It is also important to consider how much you have changed yourself and how your partner has developed, how much responsibility everyone is willing to take and how the problems have been dealt with by each.

You have to assess the situation and look at things from the right perspective. Don’t hold onto prejudice or a melodrama. There are questions that are not very important, but at some point can become a problem. Various factors play an important role here, which together can cause the glass to overflow.

Perhaps the situation is now irrelevant,  the requirements or circumstances have changed  and you no longer mind certain things.

You have to weigh for yourself whether the relationship could be worthwhile, whether you are able to overcome certain problems. If you choose to have a second chance,  however, any past problems should be sorted out from the start.

The most important thing in this case is to definitely overcome them and not let them destroy the relationship again.

3. Actions not big words!

Before embarking on a relationship with your former partner again, you should analyze whether he is actually ready to act and not just using big words  to persuade you. Words can be beautiful, but only if they are actually honest and true and  if they are followed by actions. 

For example, if the relationship failed because your partner was very jealous but they professed to learn and control this behavior, you may be willing to give them a second chance.

Before doing this, however, you should carefully monitor his behavior  to spot signs that suggest the opposite: 

• He always wants to know where and with whom you were with?
• He’s reading the news on your phone?

Let your feelings guide you,  but analyze the situation and don’t just listen to the longed-for words. Infidelity or jealousy are usually not a good starting point for a new opportunity, because it is very difficult to change this behavior.

4. Both are ready to improve the relationship

You should also consider how big your ex-partner’s compromise is before agreeing to a new relationship with them. A second chance means  that both must love each other very much and act responsibly. Honesty must come first in communication.

Some work hard to keep a relationship going, but at some point they get tired of the situation and end it. Then the partner becomes aware of  what he has lost and tries to change things in order to be able to continue the relationship. 

Problems arise, however, when the person who has been trying for the relationship for a long time is no longer willing to do it.

If you want to give your partner a new chance, but you expect them to win over you again and make things better, that doesn’t mean it will work. In many cases the situation gets worse! 

In this case, you should think carefully about the possibilities, define new basic conditions and strengthen the commitment in the relationship  so that it can flow again. 

A second chance can work if both are willing to do their best

Some feel that when a relationship is over, the chapter should be closed. That is easy to understand, but not always the rule. It is important that both partners feel comfortable in the new relationship. 

Everyone has to make the decision for themselves, but it must be carefully considered. New trust needs to be built. In the new life project, both have to feel emotionally comfortable and confident that they can do better now.
