Once you loose the trust of a person it is not so easy to regain it, if at all!

given the chance to fix one thing in my life, it would be ALL the wrongdoings i have made. but then, if i have been perfect all my life, what's the use of living this life and learning from our own mistakes? those mistakes in the past contributed to the person that we are now. things happen for a reason regardless if it is intentional or not. the best thing to do is to learn from one's mistake and continue living for the better, not for the worst.

I make mistakes big ones small ones good ones and bad ones. I learn from my mistakes and I grow from them. I gain knowledge and wisdom from them. All those mistakes I've made, make up who I am today. It seems like you get 5 or 6 split second decisions that change the course of your life forever.

Yes, people change all the time. if no one gave people second chances , then 90 % of the world would be in the crapper. Life is full of second chances, it just depends on how you handle it..in your case, you spiffed up your life and should stay positive about finding someone to spend your life with. When we get our lives in order after making such mistakes, then it is not to long after that we will find that better things come our way. Good for you for turning your life around.. I wish you luck.

I know some people who commit an act, pay their time and regret it, so then they don't do it. "Once an offender, always an offender" is a bunch of crock.  When you burn your hand on the stove or from too hot of water in the tub/shower, chances are you won't do it again. Everyone deserves a second chance, but I don't think you're excusing it. Sometimes it's best not to mention it because it's in the past, yet repeated offenders should be brought to people's attention.\n\nIt's a hard call, really.

How sad!  But the decision is yours.  EVERYONE deserves a second chance, it's the third chance you have to watch out for.  And perhaps you can take this opportunity, while you can't really see each other, to talk a lot about who you both really are and where you see yourselves going.  Then go, if you want - your life is your decision, and people make mistakes.  I cheated once, and learned my lesson - I understood why I did it, and asked for forgiveness.  I have never done it again.  I know your family is worried, but you have to be honest with yourself - can you forget it and continue to love your fiancee?  If you can, then you have the right to be happy, and to be comfortable and safe.  Screw the rest of 'em.

hmm, well understand that you only get one chance at everything, and a couple years down the road you'll regret the fact that you never took a chance. I would give everything to go back in time and be even MORE outgoing and social!

Depending on the reason if it is that bad no but I probably would. They deserve a second chance. I am attracted by the way most of them carry themselves.

It all depens on what the mistake is. Sometimes, it can be hard to forgive.

to a degree it's fair, and i personally believe most people deservea second chance....except for the judgemental a**holes who said this poor person should be screwed for the rest of his life for a mistake he made several years ago.....in that respect, it's not fair....you have made restitution for your irresponsible actions and have walked the straight and narrow, so find a lawyer and see what he says you can do.....GOOD LUCK!!!

If you regret it, you want to change it and to change something would change who you are. I have no regrets in my past. Everything you go through in life makes you who you are. Makes you stronger, more understanding, tougher and less ignorant. There are things in everyone's past that has been rough for them, but the experience of it has made them walk away with something more. It's part of life. Everything in life has a purpose.

it all depends on what you have done. some things are just not forgiveable or atleast forgettable. i messed up on something with one of my best friends now i am lucky to see him maybe a few times a year and that's usually like in the park becaue we both go there. He don't come by he rarely if ever calls. If i call him sometimes he might call me back but thats the price i guess you pay for screwing up. i mean i know i messed up and i have tried so many things to prove that i know i messed up and it wont happen again but its their choice. when you have been hurt by someone close to you even if it wasn't on purpose and they are sorry its hard to ever trust them again. give it time. keep showing ur friends that you sorry and it wont happen again. but in the end its their choice they were hurt and not everyone is going to risk it again even if you really are sorry. you have to live and learn. learn from your mistake and dont let it happen ever again to anyone.

It is quite possible that she really does regret her actions and will never do it again, especially since she told you.  But, having been in your situation before, I've found it extremely hard to "forgive and forget."  Both of you have to be really committed to make the relationship work after a major setback like that, but if she is truly sorry and you think you can trust her again, it should all work out.

Everyone makes mistakes.  Some people make the same mistakes over and over again, and some learn valuable life lessons from their errors so they become better people for it.  Some people let their past failures consume them and they won't take any chances in life for fear of making another mistake, others keep trying and don't continue to beat themselves up over past screw-ups.  BOTTOM LINE:  Take what you learn in life and apply it; and don't let fear of what might happen stop you from trying something new or taking a risk.
