I have a few examples. My mum turned down my dad's proposal of marriage. She was young and not ready to settle down. My dad was also the typical boy next door and not an exciting enough prospect for her at the time! My dad was heartbroken and fled overseas, convinced that he would remain alone and broken hearted for the rest of his life. My mum also moved to another country and became engaged to another man. One Christmas holiday, they were both home visiting family. This was seven years after the original proposal. They ran into each other in town and my dad congratulated my mum on her marriage (he thought she was already married at this point). She told him she was still engaged and suggested that they go for a drink to catch up. Six months later, she moved back home to marry my dad My sister and her husband broke up when things were getting serious in their relationship (back when they were dating). He broke up with her, because he got cold feet about making a long term commitment. He dated someone else, but soon realised that he had made a huge mistake. He came back and they have been happily married for the past 11 years My ex broke up with me a year ago...he contacted me two months ago wanting to reconcile. I'm not sure what will happen next, but I feel like I should take a risk and give him another chance. After all, I wouldn't be here today if my dad hadn't given my mum a second chance
