what would you do if someone made you a promise that meant alot to you and then they broke it?

Question

what would you do if someone you cared about made you a promise to stop doing something that really hurt you and they broke that promise tell please what would you do

Answer 1

It depends on what that something is. I mean if it's like smoking or abuse or a bad habit. It depends on the situation. But really no one should ever break a promise and you can't trust them now that they did. Maybe you should tell them that and see what happens.

Answer 2

First, I'd have to know if that person broke a promise to not tell something that you were doing that was hurtful to you. So, do you believe that this person did what they thought was right for you? Or is this simply a broken trust? You don't say if this is a friend, or sibling or what! If it is a broken trust, then that is very hard to get back, if at all. People need to know that trust is an honor that is given, not a right. If you care about this person, and want to build your trust again, it will be a long road. It can be done, but only if BOTH parties are willing. So, now you need to ask yourself if this person is truly worth the attempt to try. If yes, then try it, but if not, then put them behind you and move on.

Answer 3

Well, your question leaves much to be desired. You see, people have hidden sins that they struggle with and as much as they promise themselves and others that they will change, quit, or whatever it is sometimes very hard for them to do. So, in the process of them failing at their promise they hurt others and themselves. I am not sure what kind of promise you are talking about, but each would probably have a different answer. Addictions, whether it be drinking, smoking, pornograhy, are hard to quit for many people. After they commit the habit they feel guilty and begin to make sincere promises to change, but in time they tend to slip and it hurts people. So, it all depends.

Answer 4

People break promises all the time. The more you expect people to be perfect and something they are not, the more it will hurt you. You can either accept that they are what they are and sometimes let you down, and forgive and forget...or you can write them off and move on. Or you can even do a combination of all the above. It's up to you.

Answer 5

You should really have a talk with that individual and explain to them your feelings and the importance of promises.

I have had a lot of problems from others in the past with such issues. I no longer "loan" money to people as such. If they pay it back, great! If they don't, life is too short to be caught up with such minor transgressions.

Sometimes, you just have to turn the other cheek. If this is the FIRST TIME that somebody broke a promise to you, you are REALLY LUCKY. I take promises as: "statements of current intent." Sometimes, the circumstances of life change. What are you going to say if you loan somebody $1000 for a week, and they lose their job? Are you really going to want them to sell their house to pay you off, for example?

Answer 6

I would try to let that person see that I am in love and that I cant fulfill a promise to her without her presence. It is so much harder to maintain days ,weeks, months on end when you have no one backing u up. It is always a nice feeling to have someone say good job Im proud of you

Answer 7

This has happened to me. I had a guy promise me to stop doing "something" and he did it again, and more than once, however I loved this guy and we worked through it, it wasnt cheating or anything like that but I was really hurt and it took a really long time for me to trust him again, I guess it just depends on how much you like this guy.

Answer 8

If they knew how much it hurt u then they shouldnt have broken it in the first place, that is if they really did care about u....i would probably let them know how much it had hurt me. Maybe that way they'll know and if theres any way of fixing the problem or starting over then they'll take things a little more seriously.

Answer 9

Depends what you are talking about. Did they promise to stop biting their nails and did it again? If it is something they knew you felt so strongly about, then they are showing a sign of selfishness. They are willing to put their wants and desires ahead of your feelings. Probably not a good long-term situation.

Answer 10

sit this person down and ask them what the promise meant to them ask them why they made the promise if they knew they couldn't keep it. next i would tell them how i felt what it did to me that they told me they would stop for me and they didn't and how that makes me feel. this happened to me before yeah its stress-full and hurts but once you ask them why they did it you'll understand better and be-able to get over it.
