"To become reconciled to afriend withwhom you have broken, is a form of weakness; and you pay the penalty of it
when he takes the first opportunity of doing precisely the very thing
which brought
about the breach; nay, he does it the more boldly, because he is
secretly conscious that you cannot get on without him." ~Schopenhauer
Philosopher Schopenhauer was known for his philosophical clarity and pessimism, but I think this quote is a very interesting perspective on the adage: "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". And this adage typically applies to romantic relationships.
