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

Ensure that the person you are dating with feels safe, comfortable and cared for. Give them reasons to trust you, but also make sure you are comfortable. relationships will only grow if there is a mutual trust, respect and understanding between partners. If you feel your partner is out of reach, talk to them and let them know you are there for them and that they can trust and rely on you. however, if you feel your partner is not putting in the same effort as you into the relationship, address these issues and find out why they may be reluctant. try to be patient and understand what your partner has been through.

Be patient with them. They may feel insecure or they may keep their guard up if they feel they get hurt like that again. Patience, understanding and building trust within the relationship, like any other, is valuable. Let them talk about something that they may be worried about and try to understand where they are coming from. Depending on the circumstances of how they found out they were cheated on? did the relationship end amicably or volatile? ect they may still need to heal and learn to trust someone in a relationship and to let go of the fear they may be carrying of it happening again

Just take the relationship slow, don't try and move any faster than they are comfortable with, validate their experience and show empathy. Just be supportive overall and always try to validate the way they feel. The best way to earn their trust is with trustworthy behavior over an extended period of time. Be patient and understanding. The more empathy and patience you show towards your partner, the better. Hopefully over an extended period of time, they will trust you more and more and they will open up to you more and more. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.

Be you. Who you are, if you are not a fan of or condone cheating, will shine through and the person you are dating will see your true colours. It may take time for them to build up trust, but if you be who you are, they should gradually begin to trust you. They may also benefit from reassurance every now and again, however, it is important that this person can trust you as relationships are built on trust and can't function as well if trust is missing. It is not your responsibility about the person being cheated on. Just be you!

Since he/she was cheated once they might be portrayed cynic but in fact they're much broken and emotionally unstable . At times they might sound really matured but don't get to that conclusion just in the beginning , because that maturity might just be a disturbance in their perspective and might not stay long which would disappoint you later. Well in the end it's like any other normal relationship, give time and take time don't be in a hurry. They might be too suspicious (mostly) but don't take them wrong just try to talk out things. Don't take decisions with assumptions nor allow him to do the same. Not every person who got cheated wouldn't end up suspicious , few might turn up really good ( if so try not to lose them)

learn how to have patience, I don't know if they have properly healed from that situation but learn to have patience with them. it's truly a horrible experience knowing someone you trusted to do something like that. From what I have experienced, give them lots of reassurance, look into the 7 types of love languages, and look into that and have consistent ones. also, unexpected reassurance is the best because they have their fears that they might be not good enough to be loved which is not the case. I hope everything goes well and wish you both the best. give it time and lots of patience and love

I think it is important to understand that your partner's past relationships will shape their perspective and outlook on your current relationship. Since your partner was cheated on, it may impact their view on trust. It is helpful to be accepting and listen to what they have to say. Your partner's trust had been broken at one point, so it may take them more time to gain trust with others. Be supportive, and be sure to prioritize communication between each other. Communication is a platform for building trust and honesty with others and with partners. Everyone is different, and everyone handles being cheated on differently, but having an open mind and validating their past feelings can be helpful.

Talk to them about. Confront the issue head-on. Acknowledge that it may take more time for them to trust you than they would have if they hadn't been through that experience. Trust is like a jar of marbles. It's made of a collection of acts that build up and become stronger. However, continue to establish and assert boundaries. When someone is cheated on, they may become suspicious and want to read your texts, snoop through your phone, know where you are every second of every day. Know that you still have the right to privacy, and their insecurity is not more important than that right.

Try to be understanding. I know it's hard to exactly know what to do in situations like this. But I'm sure you will do great in your new relationship. Being cheated on can come with trust issues. Show your partner that they can trust you. Try to have deep conversation to show them that they can open up to you. Show them that you are comfortable around them so they can be confortable you. It can sometimes be difficult to come into another relationship coming from a harmful one. Give them time and patience. And most of all... don't let them even think that there's a chance that you could be cheating on them. Spend as most time with them as you can.

Hello! I completely understand where you are coming from as this may be extremely upsetting. Although I cannot offer you specific advice, I am confident that you are able to find a solution. If you take some time to truly figure out how important this is to you and what you are willing to endure, then I have confidence in your abilities to come to a solution. Everyone experiences hardships within their lives and they come in many different shapes and forms. Each experience is something that you are able to learn from and take away from, especially within relationships. I completely understand how you are feeling. I know you will find a solution and be able to learn from experiences like these.

I think that you should really take a step back and think about whether if you want to continue this relationship anymore. No one understand what you feel or what you’re going through besides yourself. You know what is best for you and what you are supposed to do. If you’re unhappy with being with your current partner, then maybe it’s time for you to reevaluate your relationship and think whether if it is a healthy choice for you to stay or leave. But remember that you have to love and respect yourself before making any decisions. I hope you make the right choice.

A person that has been cheated on may be jealous, more aggressive with smaller incidents that mean nothing to you and may still be suffering from getting cheated on. You will have a lot to deal with so be prepared for a lot of small yet extreme(in their eyes) disagreements. Be prepared to validate this person occasionally in the relationship( remember to To do this but don't do it so much if you won't be able to keep up with it because that will open another can of worms) . The two important things to remember though is to make sure you maintain respect for your relationship and don't cheat.

Trust is a main issue we are talking in here, because when someone cheat on us we feel we can no longer trust ( at the least most of the time).... timing I believe is the best solution, however there are many different variables which can take place in this situation.... For example is that person already ok for a knew relationship ? is his past feeling are being passed to you ? Only you have the real answer, what are your real feelings for this person ? I believe be honest is the main point in this situation, this person was already hurt once, try to support ....

When dating someone who has been cheated on in the past, always remain patient. Patience is key. Remember that the strongest bond you could build is trust. Trust takes time and patience. Show your significant other that you are willing to wait and respect their feelings. Don't just tell them they can trust you, show them. If you tell them you are going to do something, do it. Even the simpler things can build a stronger bond of trust. For example, if you tell your significant other that you are going to give them a phone call in a few hours, make sure you do so. This will help them see that you are a trustworthy person. With enough patience and time, the bond of trust will form.

Know that no one deserves to be cheated on and just support them. If they need reassurance, then provide that for them. That establishes stability within your relationship.

They’re going to be very suspicious and nah even accuse of you doing things you haven’t done. This is normal. They’re probably very insecure and that’s ok, just constantly reassure them even when they don’t ask

Being in a relationship means you should learn to trust each other and to build trust, it's not an overnight process.. it need times and commitment to do it. The more you trust each other, the stronger your relationship are.. Someone who has been cheated on, means he/she is feeling super insecure.. so what you both guys should do is to build trust. Building trust need both parties' effort.. so for this relationship to work out, both of you should commit to learn more about each other and build trust together :)

Try not to dwell on either of your past history. Be open and honest. If you think that you might stray, walk away.

be patient as they may have a lot of anxiety about being cheated on. As someone that has been cheated on and is currently in a relationship I found it difficult through the first few months to trust again but after opening up to him about these trust issues i have realised that i can trust him it just takes time

Hard to say, but if you had been cheated on, you must recover the self-esteem you shall have before starting a relationship. A new person is a new story, don't be conditioned by your past, most likely you're the one that should condition the past learning from it.

Ask if the person has moved on. It will be difficult for both of you to be in a relationship when one of you is not fully invested. Then show your loyalty and faithfulness. And be clear you expect the same.

Treat him/her the way you want to be treated. Be sensitive to the needs of that someone and at the same time be open to him/her.

Try to understand how that person was hurt by the experience. Attempt to keep an open mind, and be sure to listen and learn from that person's experience. Let them know you will be there for them.

Make sure you are always there to comfort your partner and let them know that everything is okay, alway's be kind enough to reassure them.

When you date someone who has been cheated on the past, its likely they will feel weary and often scared that you will cheat on them. Actions speak louder than words, remain faithful, be open with them about how you're feeling, don't be secretive. Eventually, they will feel like you're someone who they can trust. Afterall, put yourself in their shoes, that can help you see the world in their view. Hope this helps.

You can try to be for them the best you can and give reassurance. Many people are insecure after break ups make them feel secure. Also try talking to them about their problems and both of your expectations in the relationship. If their constantly accusing you of cheating you might have to let them loose. Sorry for the longness of the advice I'm just trying to get to a 100 words. You're a wonderful person and very brave for putting you relationship out there. Not to many people take advice. I hope your relationship goes well. Good luck !

Every day we risk love with others. We can get hurt and that can make us want to not trust again. But we are all different and have unique ways of handling the event. Talk to your partner and ask if you can do things to support their trust. Be honest with your partner about your desire to support them but not be overwhelmed yourself. When your partner says they want something believe what they say, then follow up weeks or months later to verify it is still what they want. Our character is partially based on our ability to do the right thing when nobody is watching. This is a very difficult thing to prove and trust requires building over time. Don't be afraid to work longer and harder, your partner will probably have greater feeling for you in the long run.

I would recommend having an open conversation with them. I have been cheated on in the past and there isnt really anything super major I need from my partner. They might appreciate talking about it or not, maybe they need you to tell them where you are a bit more than average, or maybe they want to have deep conversations about relationships. I think your best bet is to just ask what they need from you. Perhaps say..... I know this might be a sensitive subject, but I know you have been cheated on in the past and I want you to know that I would never do that to you. Is there anything that you need from me as a partner to feel secure in our relationship? They will most likely tell you :)

Just act like your would do in a normal relationship, but just accept the fact that it might they them a little longer to completely trust you. And show them that that's okay. It takes a lot of courage for them to put their trust into someone after being cheated on and that process takes time. Don't try to focus too much on trust by being like: "Want to check my messages?", since it is a natural process that slowly builds itself up. If they want to talk about their feelings, let them. But if they don't want to, don't force them, since they probably want to move on.

Being cheated on sucks, it destroys the element of trust, and makes it much harder to trust one's partner. However, if one is dating a partner who has been cheated on, One must understand that there will be turbulence due to trust issues and that is not due to themselves, rather the experience of their partner. Expressions of trust where one wordlessly communicates the value of their partner, works wonders in the long run. It should also be noted that communication is key. If One feels like the relationship is turbulent, it doesn't hurt to open up a dialog with their partner. One of the key factors to a healthy relationship is good communication. It sorts out a lot of unnecessary issues in the long run.
