No. I believe in providing second chances only to them that earn it. I believe in making them work to convince me they are serious, and have changed their ways. If they ain't willing to put in any effort, then they haven't changed. I read too many accounts of dimwit gals that get beaten up by hubby/boyfriend, run off, then go crawling back the minute he says he is sorry. A few days/weeks/months later and the cycle repeats itself....again and again. And why not? Just an apology, and he gets his punching bag back!
