I'm dating someone who has cheated in the past. What should I do?

Relationships are very personal. The answers are not usually as straight-forward as we would like them to be. Everybody is different and every relationship is different. Ultimately it’s up to you. A healthy relationship needs trust, respect, and communication. If the relationship is healthy and can be repaired, and you still want to repair it. You should give it a go, although, beware of an unhealthy, codependent, toxic relationship. You should be appreciated and act as partners in the pairing.

As long as they don't cheat on you - you should be okay. Sometimes we have to meet the right person, some people do not like to commit to others because of their own sense of self - hopefully that does not happen

You should be able to trust them. I can't give you advice or my opinions, but you should be able to tell if they are committed as loyal towards you.

As always, only you know your situation... only you know what you have been through & how cheating impacted you. Firstly evaluate the situation, can I forgive & forget long term. Am I strong enough to go through the healing process & actually heal to look past this?... Secondly, am I willing to take accountability for my actions & work through this with my partner. Thirdly, and most important...is this person's love what I deserve or want??????... The best thing about the human race is that we are all dynamic & beautiful in our own ways. Example... Some people are amazing strong, they have the ability to walk away without regrets, cheating is cheating!!. Then you get some that are amazing resilient with the capacity to love pass the flaws or mistakes .... guess it's up to you to figure out which type of dynamic you are, hugs

It's normal you're thinking about it. But the past is a thing of the past, and things change every day. If your partner ever cheated on his/her old partner, that doesn't mean it will happen to you too. If your partner really loves you, you don't have to worry. Trust is one of the most important things in a relationship. Ask your parner if he/she really loves you and how much. Be nice to eat other, love each other cleanly and your relationship will not need anything else. But if your partner doesn't love you cleanly, run away because you have to be loved as someone very special!

Leave the person, by staying with the person you're doing nothing but prolonging your own suffering. End the relationship and start working on yourself. Might be best to not get involved in another relationship too quickly until you've managed to get over your last one and better manager to coope with your own emotions. Also remember to always forgive... But don't forget, no one deserves to be defeated like that

Just give them a chance cause people can change. Just cause they did it then don't mean they will do it now

A person that cheats in the past can lose much trust from a partner. If you want to forgive them or if they did the cheating in a past relationship it is important to take to that person about how you feel. The worries and concerns you have when thoughts of the infidelity arise. If you are feeling that you want to trust them but have doubts, you should reflect on how willing are you to let do of the negative thought process. Reframing thoughts may help. When you refram thoughts you take the negative ones that come to mind and you change them to a positive.

If he has cheated you in the past and you suspect he can do it again... Thn it's better to remain assist from him... But if he has done it with someone else and you are convinced that he might not repeat the same with you thn it's OK.... You never know in what circumstances he had done that behavior

Many women are hesitant to date someone who has cheated on in the past because they are scared that the same thing will happen to them. Let me tell you that this is not always the case. Yes, there are some people who are just flat-out cheaters, but for the most part it's nothing more then a mistake. Who's to say that the person your with will make the same "mistake". Nobody is perfect so don't base this decision on what he/she did in the past. Give them the benefit of the doubt and the same chance that everyone deserves.

I can see that it makes you feel uneasy that your partner has cheated in the past. No one is perfect, and we all inevitably make mistakes as we go through life. What is important is that we learn from our mistakes and grow from them. Did this person explain why they cheated? What did he learn from that situation and how has it changed him? Do you think you would be able to trust him, despite his past? It is important that we are able to trust our partner in a relationship. WIthout it, the relationship may deteriorate and become toxic.

Be wary, but don't distrust them because of their past.. They may have cheated in the past but you don't know the exact situation they were in to cheat or what place they were in mentally when it happened. People do change.

A person should always get the benefit of doubt. First of all try to sit and discuss with the person what were the conditions and why (s)he had to take such a step. Communication clears out half of the things. Then try to put yourselves into that person's shoes and be empathetic. If the reason is genuine and seems like something you can accept, say so and also make him / her understand why cheating shouldn't have been the option and how they could've tried somehting else. If you are unsatisified by their answer, try to judge if they understand their mistake and has their attitude changed, if not try to explain things to them. Even after all of these, they seem to have the same attitude, it'd be better to maintain your distance.

People change people, maybe she/he has changed. I believe everyone has the power to do right again.

One important aspect of dating is trust. It can be very hard to trust someone who is known to have cheated in the past. If you're not sure about your situation, it is always advisable to tell your partner how you feel about their actions in the past. A good partner will be able to understand your fears and accept their mistakes. How they react to you expressing your fears tells a lot about who they are as a person and whether or not things will work between you two. They must be capable of understanding that the accusations are caused by their actions in the past and accept them while proving their intentions.

I would personally watch out for signs they may be cheating. Be more alert as they have done so in the past. Although, also keep in mind - though this may be their past behaviour, maybe they have grown and changed since then.

Ensure that you can trust them now. Although it may seem scary dating a cheater, there is a huge possibility that they have grown and learned from their mistakes. While they may say that they can be trusted, make sure that they reveal trust through their actions. Also, you can see if they have grown through their perspective of their experience. For instance, if they aren't proud of what they have done, most likely they have taken that situation as a learning experience and won't want to do that to anyone again. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck with your relationship.

I mean if they’ve been open about this and you said you were okay with it, then you have to kind of try and trust them but if your being weary this is natural because your scared of getting hurt but you have to ask yourself if your willing to take the chance of trusting them and if not you have to let go because it’s not fair on you or them

Cheating is rarely noble, but there are tons of reasons why it happens. Are there ever fair reasons to cheat? Never. But often, cheating is an act symptomatic of a bad relationship and poor communication. Cheating is an ignoble way to end things proactively or subconsciously, If possible, try and understand what exactly happened. Find out why it happened and whether it is part of a bigger, consistent character trait in your current partner. You need all this info to help you understand them better and gauge the progress in your relationship. Any red flags, have a chat and see if you both value the same things.

Keep communication linesv open between you. Take one step at a time. Breathe. Build your trust together .

That's not a big problem. You can have a relationship with him/her. One thibg you can do is making sure he/she won't make the same mistake.

First of all you knowing that the person has cheated in the past is a big thing. You either knew and yet you trusted them with your heart or they told you and then you trusted them. So either way, when you date someone don't have prior presumption. That is something you do before you start dating. When you date you trust not blindly but fully. So be cautious but see what makes it different between the two of you. What efforts they are making for you to believe in them. How happy they make you and how much they love you.

Sit that person down and express your specific concerns or feelings about their past but make sure not to sound judgemental or act harsh towards the other perso

You should just trust your intuition and go with the flow. You should give that person a chance to get to know him better

If he or she has cheated in the past you should not discount the possibility that he or she may do that again. You must then decide if staying in the relationship is worth the risk and the potential hurt that may result.

Wow I would say try and trust them the most but maybe try and do a phone check twice a month I hope everything goes well for you

Its hard but first try to trust it amd feel comfortable talking about your feeling and its feelings

Well everybody deserves a second chance in life, and people can change, but even if this person has cheated in the past, It doesn't mean that you shouldn't care at all about it, just beware. If you suspect that this person is cheating on you, you should fetch factual evidences before you confront. Never confront without a consistent evidence.

In this case, I think it is best not to jump in right away into a romantic relationship with the person you are dating. Try to get to know the person better and see if he is willing to be truly loyal to you through his actions. Just give the person a benefit of doubt. There should always be trust in a romantic relationship and you should not have to worry about the person cheating on you. Also remember that actions speak louder than words. I am just saying all of this so you can avoid yourself from a heart break in the long run.

Relationships are about trust. You knew the background before entering into the relationship. The choice was made to trust. Continue trusting and try not to allow the past to dictate the present.
