Dude I know that feeling too well. Arts is so subjective though. That's totally why I would die writing essays all the time. At least with math there's only one answer and you can fake your way to it.

Is one essay worth that much though? Are you really at risk of failing the class? And D+ isn't a fail is it?

I'm glad you revoked your rule and things turned out the way they were supposed to. I knew the whole situation just didn't seem right.

I haven't figured out what to do with second chances in cases of cheating though. They say, "If they cheat once, they'll cheat again". I'd be inclined to say that if it ever happened, that'd be the end, and for good. But once it actually came to that I might find myself in a different state emotionally. What do you think?

I don't know. It's hard to say about the cheating part. I always told myself that they can look, but can't touch, and if they touch, they're outta there. But if I were in that situation and found this happened, I might look at things differently. If my SO felt regret and remorse and was truly sorry, I might be able to forgive him. First I would want to know why he cheated, because things like that don't just come out of nowhere. Is it because he wasn't sexually satisfied? Trying to fill in emotional gaps? Wanted to feel loved? Who knows. If it was because the relationship was already falling apart... I don't know. I guess I'd have to be in that situation to find out what I really would do ( ... )

I agree, I'd say second chances are always good but if they screw up the second one then it's done for good. But cheating is subjective too, what one person defines as cheating, another might not. I had a problem knowing that Dylan considered the possibility of cheating (just a few months into the relationship) even though he hadn't actually done anything wrong, and I knew that my feelings were pretty unjustified but couldn't help feeling hurt.

Relationships are the suck. Sometimes.
