I'm dating someone who has been cheated on. What should I do?

assure them that you will not cheat on them or repeat any behaviors their past partners have made. make sure to listen to them regularly and make sure they're content/have no doubts about the relationship. if they do, make it clear that you will listen to their insecurities and doubts and will help them through it. as mentioned earlier, make sure you assure them that you are not like their previous partner and really care for them. you should also listen to their experience with their past partner if they want, and understand what happened in the past to better help them in the present and future :)

I've been cheated on in the past and it was a lot to deal with in future relationships. It's my thing to manage, not yours. But there are ways to help. I'd say be yourself, with an bit of extra awareness of communication. And be transparent. Act with integrity and be reliable. If you're secretive, need lots of privacy and space, or communicate inconsistently, this will unsettle a person who may have trouble trusting. Definitely avoid the temptation to give extra reassurance though. It is superficial and won't help. Just give straight answers when you're asked, and that's enough.

Cheating is a tough situation for all involved, but the world changes everyday when it comes to cheating. Some people are very strict with their interpretation and others are more open to non monogamous dating. So one of the first things you should do is talk about expectations. What are your boundaries? What do you consider cheating? And what about your partner? What do they consider cheating? Is any close relationship with someone from the opposite sex considered cheating? If so, you want to know that so you can respect the other person's wishes, assuming this is something that you want to accept and vice versa. And after you set the ground rules, try to life within them and respect the other person. This builds trust and being able to trust someone after the betrayal of cheating is what is often missing when you've been cheated upon.

A person who has been cheated on is likely to struggle with building new relationships and building trust as they are still dealing with what has happened to them. You should try and imagine what it must feel like for them and how this has affected them. You can give advice if they explicitly ask you to give it. However, if this is not the case, you should just listen to them and make sure they feel accepted and that they feel like you are listening to them and being them for them. In most cases, someone being there for them is worth more than advice.

It's always hard when you or your partner has been cheated in. Being concerned on how to treat the situation is valid and one step on the right track for whats best for you. My advice would be to ensure they feel comfortable and secure within your relationship. Every relationship is different, so you may have different way of doing this than another couple. Don't force them to talk about it before they are ready to open up to you. But once they are, use that vulnerability they are giving you to reassure them that your relationship is completely separate from the one in their past.

I have always been a big believer in communication. I think it is the most important thing in making sure a relationship stays healthy. A person who has been cheated on has suffered a huge breach of trust, they find it hard to share valuable bits of information about themselves. They find it tough to develop new relationships because they are afraid of being hurt again. In terms of what you should do, I think it is important that you always consider the other partners perspective, to keep communicating and to show plenty of love and affection. This will help to remove any doubts they could have and keeps both of you very happy!

Keep in mind that you should treat others the way you want to be treated. And remember they may be hesitant to love you because they may be scared you'll leave them. People that have been cheated on are generally more sensitive and dont forgive or love as quickly or easy. so even though it can be hard try to stay strong and stay patient with them. Tell them you respect them and promise to never hurt them and then show them that you dont break your promises by promises other little things and actually doing it can be a great way to start.

First thing, don't cheat on them, obviously, and don't make too many jokes about seeing other people. Help them through it if they're still getting over it and act like you would want someone to act to you.

Make sure he knows you love him. ANd hes the one for you. Ive been going through the sme thing. ANd honestly, i never want him to get hurt again, and when he realizes that, he will trust you more. Just don't take it to heart, his brokenness. :)

Be open to listening to their story. Tell them you want to understand how it effected them so you learn what things will make them feel like you are doing the same. people who have been cheated on will usually assume it will happen again. You need to show them that you will not be that person. and work and compromise with them on boundaries and making each other feel secure and loved

Dating someone who has gone through that traumatic experience can be hard but you can gain their absolute trust by being truthful to them. Understand that getting cheated on send a person a message that they were not good enough. It can be tough but you can deal with this if you are really into that person. It can be rough but don't lose hope. You can always share what you feel. Be there for him/her. You won't have to be accountable forever. Time is the best healer. Be yourself, they may start trusting you. People often like to know who you really are, not what you think they want you to be. Be patient and kind him/her

Ask them if they would like to talk about it. See if your partner would like to open up and tell you about the experience.

While you do not deserve to bear the emotional backlash of your partner's ex's wrongdoing, you can get ahead of the gate by initiating transparency in your new relationship. Make it a priority to respectfully and calmly bring up doubts and insecurities before they snowball into fears and mistrust. Establish open, tactful communication, as a value, right from the start. And don't forget to communicate about what your boundaries are, too.

Try your best not to betray that persons trust. Show that person that they don't have to worry about you cheating on them by not doing it. Be faithful, be honest, put forth a fair effort, and be considerate.

Keep the lines of communication open, and be as transparent as you can. Clear, honest communication is best way to let them come to trust you.

Make sure you stay loyal to them and gain their trust. Trust me, the pain from being cheated on is unmeasured. But the safety of a loyal person outweighs the pain.

Be honest about what you want in the relationship, don't bring it up unless they want to talk about it. Make sure you know they have your trust and give them a reason to trust you, because that's the biggest thing with being cheated on. The trust you held was broken. It can be scary and hard for them to completely trust again. Be patient.

Understand! Understanding, empathy and words of care are the only things required in this phase. Love has energy and this energy comes to the person in destructive way when one gets cheated. Our compassion serves to counter the negative energy and makes the person feel better :-)

Treat them with care. Be prepared for jealousy and a very close very clingy boyfriend or girlfriend. Reasure them often. And just hold them close for a LONG time as often as you can.

Let them know that you won’t do the same. If they can trust you as you trust them they can be more involved in the relationship.

Nothing. Be present, be caring and patient but do not try to walk on eggshells around them in order to make sure they don`t get to the idea that you might be cheating on them. If they have trust issues, they shall work on them, you did not cheat on them, and you cannot take fault for their hurt.

Try to be understanding. They may be insecure at first. Give them time and love and they should feel better in time.

When dating someone, an awesome quality is to observe and learn. This quality helps you make a circle of comfort around the person you are dating. While you observe ways to make and keep your date happy, you also try to observe how personal/frank your date is becoming with respect to sharing either his/her weakness or any event of the past. Neither do you have to be too desperate to know every detail in a single go, nor have to be aloof enough to not even bother asking things. Make a balance, and observe reactions from your date. Let your date get comfortable in reveal things by him/herself. Unless that happens, probably your date does not want an old nerve to strike again. So be calm and have patience. Also, since your date has been cheated and you know about it, he/she might be analytic or cautious towards you. Let it come, and still keep calm and patience. It pays. Remember, for many, old wounds take time to heal. So either we can turn scratchers of the wound, or, we can mould ourselves to become healers instead :)

I haven't dated anyone who has been cheated on. Instead I have faced a similar situation in my life, not once but twice! I was heart broken both the times but never gave up trusting others. Either I am way too stupid or way beyond optimist! I have risked myself that way, hopeless in love! I think it will be little harsh we tend to judge others on the grounds of one individual. We will never see how others may not be the same. At the same broken hearts are difficult to be repaired. But again, enough love can be the ice breaker!

Always let them know that they are the only one in your life and comfort them. It might sound silly, but it goes a long way.

The best thing you can do is to reassure them that you won't be like the last person. If they've been cheated on before then they're bound to have their doubts. Reassurance from you is one of the most important things they'll need in this relationship.

They’re probably going to be quite insecure and potentially paranoid. Be cautious of their feelings but don’t stop being yourself

make sure they have your trust and that you have theres. that is the most important thing in a relationship.

The psychological trauma that a person endures after being cheated on is one of the most emotionally damaging things that a person can go through. Give them patience, give them reassurance. When they ask questions, it's not because they don't trust you, they've been hurt before and that these are the things they need to know in order to keep them from overthinking and reverting back into their depressive state. They probably are going to get jealous, have low self-esteem and are quite afraid. And again, this isn't an indication that they don't trust you, they just need your reassurance and patience.

Set time aside to spend time with her/him, let her/him know how much you love them and tell him/her that you wouldn't hurt them like that.
