The saying says something like shame on you for the first time, and shame on me for the second time. Do you catch my drift? Not sure if it only applies to cheating, but It's like shame on you for the first time you do it, then shame on me when you do it again and i stick by. Something like that. It's driving me crazy since i can't figure it out.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
Basically, the first time someone does something bad to you, shame on them (for doing it); the second time they do it, shame on you (for letting it happen when you already know better).

The saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." My mother's addition is, "Fool me thrice , you get what you deserve!"
