When someone wants to re enter your life claiming they “changed” do you give them another chance? It depends. Examine what the person’s significance was in your life. Was it the same on their end? How deep was the damage they caused? And were they aware when it occurred how it would impact you and the relationship they had with you? Were there others involved on your end and on theirs? What role did everyone play? Have you recovered or does this still sting? And what did you learn about yourself when you stepped back and examined what happened? Were there red flags something was off? If so, did you ignore them or address them? Lastly, what has this person done to “change?” Because it’s easy to say and easy to acknowledge they did something, but it doesn’t mean it won’t happen again. If you let them back in your life, they might behave for a while and start up again. Or they could appear to have changed, but are being more cautious at hiding the evidence.
