We discuss how honesty, communication, and attachment styles influence our decisions to try again after a breakup, and the important role that hope and consistent change play when considering rebuilding trust. We also touch on how sex factors into second chances, the risks of situationships, and why creating space after heartbreak can be so valuable.
