There is nothing different with that person. You just have to be loyal and hopefully not cheat which you will have to do even if you are in relationship with a person who wasn't cheated before.

You could gently reassure them that you're not their ex and you are your own person. If they feel insecure when away from you, you could send little messages and things throughout the time you're apart to remind them that you're thinking about them! Little gestures can go a long way!

You should support them and make them realize that you loved them, that not everybody is going to hurt them as their ex partner hurt them and that they didnt cheat on them because they're not good enough or valid but because they didnt appreciate them enough

Definitely don't cheat on them. Aside from that, give them attention, let them be a little clingy at first. Show them you're only interested in them.

Try to be there for that person emotionally as much as you can. Make them feel appreciated and of course, it's important to build the trust and take it slow. Someone who has been cheated on is more likely to be broken and feel like they shouldn't trust anyone so you should show that you're more than meet the eye.

It can be difficult to navigate the emotions that come with having been cheated on in the past. This can lead to trust issues that are a natural response to the hurt of past betrayal. Understanding and expressing support for someone whose trust was broken can help to mend a wounded heart. Encouraging healthy boundaries is also important.

Make them feel as though they are the only one in your world and that you will not repeat the same. You are different and should love them enough, giving them that peace of mind.

Probably just try to be honest and build a trust base. It's important to show them that you'd never do something like that.
