jags2bowl27 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Like really, has there ever been a positive second chance story? The same thing gets posted and the same thing gets replied.... move on blah blah blah, if it is meant to be she will come back. I actually think it sets people back by just seeing the word "second chance." I feel strong.. and honestly i made some mistakes and had wayyyyyyyyyyy to much contact this Holiday season with my ex girl but i will ever sit there and say what if. I understand why its there, I just see a lot of the same people posting in there HOPING to get that chance and then they are in this section emotionally distraught and hating which is a good thing. What do you guys think.
carhill Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Well, with 111,000+ posts and 76 entities currently viewing, it appears to be a pretty well-traveled forum. I seriously doubt the site owner would merge it into another forum or delete it. Too much good information that's specific to the topic. Given that this site hasn't changed in years, I would expect things to continue as is for some time.

Oh i know it wont be taken down lol, I just wanted some opinions on if you guys think it gives ppl false hope when they are coming on here to cope
carhill Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I personally think that reconciliation is a valuable avenue to explore, and did so within MC in our M. Even though divorce was the path, it was one of a number available to us. Second chances explores the reconciliation/reconnection path, which I believe can be a valid one for numerous couples. Each dynamic is unique. Hope, tempered by understanding and reflection, can be a healthy thing. 1
almosteverythingx Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I completely understand where you're coming from. But so many people have reconciled in the world, As we don't know the same people I'm going to have to be 'lame' and give celebrity examples such as the likes of William and Kate and Chris brown and Rihanna. There is hope, for a lot of situations, if there wasn't it would be worrying and sometimes people would rather have that hope then have nothing at all. Yes it may prolong the break up, but if it makes someone feel a bit better through a difficult time, even if it is only temporary then I don't see the problem.

Im always open to learning different outlooks... something i have learned from my current breakup

Im always open to learning different outlooks... something i have learned from my current breakup I completely understand where you're coming from though. Break ups are so difficult but honestly the amount of stories I have heard from the 'dumpers' running back to 'dumpees' Even when they have said they don't love them anymore is unbelievable! I wish you luck
Quest4_TheLost Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Yes there are stories that have been posted about people getting back together. Then there are the people who do get back together that don't come back to post because they are to happy out there living there lives.

Then there are the people who do get back together that don't come back to post because they are to happy out there living there lives. VERY TRUE! I have done this before many years ago! Signed up to a forum asked tons of questions. Ex came back never went back since! Too busy enjoying life with them to be on the forum you was merely on to ask for advice on getting them back!
Love Bytes Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I know plenty of people that have broken up and gotten back together. Including my good friends Mike and Jenny who have now been together for almost 10 years and are now married.
