Make sure you do not invalidate their insecurities. Being cheated on means trust and security have been shattered. If they ask to know where you are, or for an update text, please please listen. They are not mistrusting of you, they are mistrusting of everyone. Building up that trust will mean the world to them (message me if you want a more in depth story on this)

They might feel vulnerable and very suspicious, you should try your best to be as open as possible with them and not give them a reason to be jealous

Love them like they deserve to be loved. Show them you arent like that, and you would never do that to them. Reassurance is the key

You should expect him to feel casually low and also you should try to comfort him. Don't tell him how bad his boy or girlfriend was. Tell him that mistakes happen. and we all should get through it. even if it is hard.

All you really can do is deal with the trust issues. If you really feel like they're worth sticking around for, work through their issues, show them you can be trusted. Don't be the person that does them dirty like the last one, and ruins relationships for them all the way.

Although it may be hard for them to become trusting of you in a relationship, you have to be patient! Reassurance and showing you respect them are some of the best ways to show that you're fulling invested in a relationship

As with every relationship you need to be the most honest. Always respect the person you are with and make sure you are clear on what you are looking for in a relationship. Ask yourself the questions : "Am I someone who cheats?" " Am I someone who can be monogamous?" "Do I care about this person?" If the answers are yes, then put your heart and soul into it. Understand that this person has bee through rough times and understand that they might have difficulties trusting another person. Make sure you create an environment where this person feels comfortable and can trust you.

Remember that trust is earned. Put yourself in his/her shoes. If you were hurt once you would be cautious the next time. So be patient and love your partner and let them know that you are loyal.
