I see that my hint went unheeded. To the OP, I hope that the few replies that you got that were actually on topic were helpful to you in some way.

Second chances haven't worked out for me...as in giving them. Although, I'd really have to consider the circumstances things ended in the first place. If, as has been mentioned, it was for something like relocation issues, I might consider it (depending on my own situation at the time). If there were problems with the (past) relationship, chances are I wouldn't be willing to try it again...not romantically, at least. Friendships are always valuable, though, so in that sense, I might be open to a second chance at friendship. Edited to add: fergus, Dolly--it'd be really great if the two of you took the personal notes to the other side.

LadyPact -> RE: second chances? (3/15/2007 7:38:54 PM)
In most cases, I would have to say that I don't. If the offense was enough for things to end once, that's usually enough for Me. As the saying goes, fool Me once, shame on Me..... fool Me twice, and you no longer exisit laughs.

quote: ORIGINAL: bowandserve Have you taken back a sub? Was it worth it? Did work out in the end? That depends on why we split in the first place. If they were dismissed for misbehavior or becasue we had no chemistry, then no. If there was a nother reason we split, like a real life hurdle that was getting inthe way of our pursuing our relationship, or an ilness or sometiems just their needing to step back and find themselves, then yes. Angel and I split for a while. He had to step out of the lifestyle and find himself, be sure it was for him. He came back to me, as I had thought he would, and I did take him back when he asked. So far, we are stil working out well. I have had other second trys that have been disasters, which is why I will only consider it in certain circumstances anymore. DV

quote: ORIGINAL: bowandserve There's been some subs in the past that had potential and it ended. Perhaps I dismissed too easily or was too demanding up front and they got overwhelmed. I'm still in touch with a couple and think about trying them again. Goes against my dom side to ever forgive and forget. Have you taken back a sub? Was it worth it? Did work out in the end? I have talked to SO many subs that have had potential during my almost 3 years on CM. Many I did dimiss too easily or for very petty reasons. I would consider giving some a second chance if I were you, if what happened was a small mistake. Just be careful. I am currently talking to a submissive that approached me last summer and I thought we had no chance. We are now taking the time to get to know each other and that is what is necessary for any successful relationship, whether it is someone from the past or someone "new". Good luck![;)]

xALadyX -> RE: second chances? (3/15/2007 9:25:26 PM)
Normally if we parted ways there was a good reason If a sub needs to step back . I do not consider that splitting up Its just giving them space. Normally he comes back Those who are with me have been mine for years. There were times they needed to step away from me but always kept in touch so not to break the bond completely If I flat out release him and he serves another then attempts to come back to me .Isnt going to happen No way. After a time yes we can be friends but the commitment , trust issue would of been broken . Not something I can see rebuilding I was happy to come across this post. To hear what others have to say about this issue , just gave me more will power to stick to my guns and not allow a certain person back in my life. Love the Domme Sisterhood ALady

MsCfromMelbourne -> RE: second chances? (3/15/2007 10:22:00 PM)
Oh goodness, I took one sub back not once but ....ooo...at least 10 times! Love and lust do some stupid things to our brains, especially when it is hard to find someone with compatible kinks! It did not work out. Some people might be able to change, but why not just move on looking forwards, not backwards

The only sub I would consider taking back would be those that I parted with because of a job requirement (one of us had to move). If they moved where I was and we got to know each other again I might be open to it but after years I think most people just don't have as much in common any more. It's a romantic notion but I try to keep my romance for those with me.

quote: ORIGINAL: bowandserve Have you taken back a sub? Was it worth it? Did work out in the end? In my case, I took subs back twice after they had been released, and no, it was not worth it either time. In the first case, the individual was a decent, though not exemplary, sub for 2 1/2 years. He complied with everything I requested, but didn't go above or beyond the call of duty. Then, he committed what I considered an outrageous offense that resulted in his release. I blocked him from calling and e-mailing me. After a month or so, he created another screen name and wrote a touching letter telling me how sorry he was and begging me to reconsider. I agreed to talk on the phone with him and agreed to give him another chance, with the understanding that he was "on probation" for a few months until my confidence in him was restored. Well, he committed a minor offense during the probation period, and was out for good. In my opinion, he should have been on pins and needles trying to please me and regain my confidence, but he wasn't. The second individual was a very sincere and caring person and a good submissive. He initially asked for release because he was a deeply religious person and his involvement in the lifestyle was causing him a great deal of guilt. His father was a Southern Baptist minister and he was very conflicted. I granted him release. Then, about a year later, he came back to me, claiming that he had worked out all the issues and guilt and was ready to recommit himself to me. He seemed very earnest and all was well and good for about a year. Then, the same feelings resurfaced in him and he again asked for release. He told me he felt that what he was doing was very, very wrong, repented for it, then broke the news to me that he could not continue in the lifestyle. I granted him release again. Nonetheless, I never say never. Under the right circumstances I might take a submisive back, but it would be highly unlikely. The underlying problem that caused the relationship not to succeed in the first place would have to be completely addressed. I have heard of divorced couples who got back together and went on to have successful marriages, so it is not impossible that a Mistress and her sub could reunite and have a successful relationship. I just don't think it's all that likely. By the way, if either of the two mentioned above asked for a third chance, the answer would be a resounding NO. Lady Topaz

quote: ORIGINAL: SilverShadows I have never had any luck with second chances and have had bad experiences. If the error was significant enough to drop them in the first place they probably should have know better. $0.02 My experience as well. Very very rarely is someone who wasn't worth a first look worth a second, especially if you had "one of those feelings" that you couldn't quite put your finger on. Give them another chance and they'll show you just where that finger goes.........

quote: ORIGINAL: bowandserve Have you taken back a sub? Was it worth it? Did work out in the end? Being a versatile person, I believe that people can change, and do believe in second chances, but only depending on what caused the split in the first place... Some things are unforgivable, or even if forgivable for one's sanity, not wise to return to that place. I have given second chances, and usually it leads to a deeper friendship; it has never successfully moved forward to anything wonderful as we/I had originally or subsequently hoped for... So, my experience thus far would indicate you should cut your losses and move on... I did say people are capable of learning and changing, so you'll have to take your chances as long as you will lose nothing that you cannot afford to lose. M
