How many chances should you give to someone you love? If they mess up and you forgive them, won't that teach them that their bad behavior will be forgiven? How can you let them know it's not okay without breaking up with them, and ensuring that it won't happen again?

Astrid agony auntI suppose that if a person loves you he or she will try not to hurt you as far as possible, apologising is ok but a change of attitude is necesasy too otherwise means cheating on you or abusing your confidence dear, how many choices to give a loved one is your decission but please try not to loose to much time with a selfish person..........

love

What kind of bad behaviour? Everyone makes mistakes, I think you can forgive once and forget but if same thing happens twice then he never took your forgiveness seriously. But when you love someone its just really hard to let them go. Be firm and say that if it happens again you will be leaving him.

camille agony auntYou can't! And what constitutes messing up? Why are you determining what and how your partner should be? I'm sure it's not just a case of them not conforming to your ways...? but I need more details. But maybe either get used to the fact that they are the way they are and love them regardless or talk through the effect of whatever it is they do that upsets you. It will never guarantee it won't happen again though.
