How many chances do you owe someone who keeps letting you down?

"You don't owe people multiple opportunities to demonstrate their unreliability before protecting yourself from their dysfunction."

From my book The Accountability Problem.

Someone lets you down in a small way and apologises. They do it again with a better excuse. Each step is information about that person, and you're allowed to act on it at step one.

Most people have a pattern like this running and don't know it's there. If you want to find yours, do the Atlas. It names the pattern running your life in a single sitting. It's free at codexofthearchitect.com

This is one transmission. The Atlas takes your own pattern and shows you the structure underneath it, free.
