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

When in that situation don't try and show them that your different from their ex with words it's better to prove it with actions because that way they know your sincere. Secondly don't make yourself seem like the hero because that puts you on a pedestal that is impossible to stay on top of. Make sure that you both are happy in the relationship and that it is healthy.

Don't dismiss their insecurities, listen and reassure them. Important note: Being compassionate and reassuring doesn't mean that you should put up with possessiveness. K now where to draw the line!

The first thing you want to pay attention to is the trust element. He/she has been cheated on. It will hurt his/her trust to their significant other. They will think that there's always a possibility that they will be cheated on again. You have to gain his/her trust. Try to be as transparent as you can with them, don't try to hide anything from them. Always be mindful to have a good communication with him/her.

You should be loyal towards your new partner and try to understand what they have been through. The worst thing you could do is cheat on them.

Show this person you care and love them or care about them. They have been hurt and the past show them you are actually there for them and not there to do the same thing as the person in their past relationship. If you feel that you might cheat on them do them the kind favor and tell them or maybe stay single until you're ready to commit.

Just treat them with love and support :) It might help to reassure them that you're not going to cheat and to allow them to talk to you about their concerns if they need to :)

You should help them find ways to trust you and make them open up to you and talk about what you can do together to make the relationship open and better for you both.

Recongize and understand that they are going to have some serious walls put up. Respect their boundaries and comfort zones, and take it easy! Having your heart hurt and broken is a tough thing, considering humans were made to love one another and give it their all. Be sympathetic and empathetic and be patient. Their biggest fear is most likely that you're going to leave.

Be honest and careful and understanding when they feel insecure and jealous without it being to intense

Just be honest and be truthful with the relationship. This person has been through a traumatic time, by showing you are trustworthy and loving, you can rebuild the person's trust.

Show them that you are different, but also remember your self-worth. You are not their previous partner.

As someone who was previously dating a serial cheater, I think patience is a strength that you will need. You will need to build trust with the person. From someone that has been cheated on before... a break in trust will open the floodgates to so much emotion. In my experience, even if there is a minor break in trust, I question if I want to continue the relationship at all, because I know I won't be able to handle the anxiety and 'what ifs'. Communication is so important. Your partner doesn't need to know your EVERY move (this is definitely unhealthy), but saying your are going to bed when you really are going out with your pals is a really bad idea. I got so good at spotting lies in my previous partner, that I can almost immediately tell when my current partner is lying. Although he has never cheated on me and I doubt he would, even white lies (for me) trigger those horrible feelings of being cheated on. However, you also need to let them know that you need space. Considering the fact that you are dating them, you should be empathetic of their feelings and emotions. However, ultimately, your partner is responsible for working to get these under control. I had a bad habit of wanting answers NOW, or a response to my text NOW, of needing 'to have a talk' NOW. I would say that the best counter to this is to let them know a date when you will be able to talk. Give them that reassurance. Or, if your will be away from your phone for a while, let them know. Small considerations like that can go a long way.

Communication is a big factor in a relationship! It is important that you build trust with your partner, and talk to them about your worries or concerns

Try your best to earn their trust. It will take them a while but be patients and they'll come around

The best thing to do when you are dating someone who has been cheated on is to assure him/her that you won't do that to him/her. Not every person is the same and you just have to tell him/her to trust you and to believe that you are not capable of cheating on him/her just like what his/her previous partner did.

Tell them you love them everyday and night and let them know you will never be like their ex. Their ex lost someone who would've been their world but know their yours.

Show them that you are not going to cheat. It will take time to build up their trust but if you stick with them and be patient and show them that you are trustworthy, they will start to trust you. try and show them empathy, tell them how you would feel if it was you in their situation. Its not easy to trust when you have been let down in the past.

Try to make the person feel more comfortable by reassuring them a lot about your relationship and feelings. Don't give up on them when they're giving you a tough time because they may have trust issues from previous experience. Have tons of patience and take things slowly for them. (:

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.

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.

You should provide him/her enough securites so that she/he can trust and secured around you, it'll be alright

You should know that it might take longer for them to trust you compared to others. Just let them know that they can trust you by proving that to them throughout your relationship. Make sure you can give them a reason to trust you.

You should make them feel like they can trust you. Without trust, that person might think you are going to cheat on them.

Broken hearts are the most difficult ones to handle. Make sure to empathize your partner and try your best to gain their trust. Their past experience might create issues in your relationship but in the end what matters is till what limits do you both stick together. I hope things go well. Good luck :)

understand that naturally they're going to have trust issues and it's going to be harder for them to trust, try and sympathise and do everything you can to let them know that what you have is different and they won't have to go through it again.

at times it will be difficult to talk the person as he will not be in the perfect mindset to talk. moreover the person might not trust you because of their past experience. just give that person some time and everything will be back to normal slowly

Kudos to you for taking the time to understand that this person may need extra care. The best thing you can do for this person is to simply be open and honest about your thoughts and feelings and not give them a reason to distrust you. By showing this person that not everyone is a cheater, it can allow them to feel more confident in their relationship with you.

Be gentle and patient. As someone who has had trust issues, my girlfriend had to take about a month to break me out of my little wall of protection. But once she broke the wall, I'm so glad she did. It'll take time, but the payoff is worth it.

Have an open approach, they will be pretty fragile when it comes to trust and getting close to someone personally. Allow time and don't push things. Respect their opinions and how they think especially if being cheated on had a large impact. Overall, have love and patience.

Do not rush your partner. Talk to each other, show that you care about your partner,show him/her that you are someone who can be trusted.
