It's going to be hard at first but it's worth it. They are going to have doubts, they are going to have insecurities. They always be needing reassurance and you will have to be patient with them. You are going to need a lot of patience. Always remind them of how much they mean to you. Communication is very important as well. You have to learn their love language so they can receive the message you're trying imply. Listen to their problems, be their rock. At the same time, don't forget to check on yourself. Make sure you're okay with it and it's not draining you.

If you were dating someone who has been cheated on you should be patient with them. Patience is a virtue and someone that has a lack of trust in others needs it the most. Someone that has been cheated on and does not believe that they are worth it or t if you were dating someone who has been cheated on you should be patient with them. Patience is a virtue and someone that has a lack of trust in others needs it the most. Someone that has been cheated on does not believe that they are worth it or they are in fear of what they did wrong when in reality they did nothing wrong and there is nothing wrong with them.

Dating someone who has been cheated on can be challenging. The person might have certain issues that do not allow them to trust you fully and completely, or they can have a different attachment style from yours, or anything else that has been caused by the terrible experience of being cheated on. What is very important is that you try understanding those the best that you can, and offering some compassion. Make sure that they are aware of your emotional support and are able to see that those experiences aren’t something that will be repeated. Healthy communication is important as well.

First things first, do not feel you have to panic about this. Everybody comes into a relationship or friendship with past experiences, both good and bad. In this case, they've been cheated on which stinks and can often carry over into other relationships. Trust is something that might be hard to get at first, especially because some people who been cheated develop mistrust of others, especially in romantic relationships. Show them they can trust you. If you say you are going to meet them someplace, do that. If you two plan a call, follow through. Communicating openly and honestly goes a long way to building that trust between you and them. Don't feel you have to bring up that they have been cheated on often, they probably want to forget it and move from it.

You should comfort them and gain their trust. Tell them that whoever they were cheated on by wasn’t worth it and didn’t deserve them. You need to show them how much you love and care about them in a way they will be comfortable with. They also need to know that cheating isn’t something that is normal. Talk to them and really work your way into there heart so that you both can have trust within eachother. Let them know that heating is the last thing you would ever do, and that they are safe with you at all times.

Trust is a main issue we are talking in here, because when someone cheat on us we feel we can no longer trust ( at the least most of the time).... timing I believe is the best solution, however there are many different variables which can take place in this situation.... For example is that person already ok for a knew relationship ? is his past feeling are being passed to you ? Only you have the real answer, what are your real feelings for this person ? I believe be honest is the main point in this situation, this person was already hurt once, try to support ....

A person that has been cheated on may be jealous, more aggressive with smaller incidents that mean nothing to you and may still be suffering from getting cheated on. You will have a lot to deal with so be prepared for a lot of small yet extreme(in their eyes) disagreements. Be prepared to validate this person occasionally in the relationship( remember to To do this but don't do it so much if you won't be able to keep up with it because that will open another can of worms) . The two important things to remember though is to make sure you maintain respect for your relationship and don't cheat.

I think that you should really take a step back and think about whether if you want to continue this relationship anymore. No one understand what you feel or what you’re going through besides yourself. You know what is best for you and what you are supposed to do. If you’re unhappy with being with your current partner, then maybe it’s time for you to reevaluate your relationship and think whether if it is a healthy choice for you to stay or leave. But remember that you have to love and respect yourself before making any decisions. I hope you make the right choice.

Try to be understanding. I know it's hard to exactly know what to do in situations like this. But I'm sure you will do great in your new relationship. Being cheated on can come with trust issues. Show your partner that they can trust you. Try to have deep conversation to show them that they can open up to you. Show them that you are comfortable around them so they can be confortable you. It can sometimes be difficult to come into another relationship coming from a harmful one. Give them time and patience. And most of all... don't let them even think that there's a chance that you could be cheating on them. Spend as most time with them as you can.
