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 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.
