assure them that you will not cheat on them or repeat any behaviors their past partners have made. make sure to listen to them regularly and make sure they're content/have no doubts about the relationship. if they do, make it clear that you will listen to their insecurities and doubts and will help them through it. as mentioned earlier, make sure you assure them that you are not like their previous partner and really care for them. you should also listen to their experience with their past partner if they want, and understand what happened in the past to better help them in the present and future :)

Understand that they have been hurt before and may have trust issues. In the beginning it might be hard to convince them that you are not the same as their previous lover. They might be convinced that you too will leave them at some point, maybe even be hostile over small issues. However, by focusing your love on them, understanding, and being patient, over time their hearts will heal, they will accept you fully and you may enjoy a more beautiful side of them. Nevertheless, you have taken a great step in helping them move on and believe in love again.

When dating someone who has been cheated on in the past, always remain patient. Patience is key. Remember that the strongest bond you could build is trust. Trust takes time and patience. Show your significant other that you are willing to wait and respect their feelings. Don't just tell them they can trust you, show them. If you tell them you are going to do something, do it. Even the simpler things can build a stronger bond of trust. For example, if you tell your significant other that you are going to give them a phone call in a few hours, make sure you do so. This will help them see that you are a trustworthy person. With enough patience and time, the bond of trust will form.

Dating someone who has gone through that traumatic experience can be hard but you can gain their absolute trust by being truthful to them. Understand that getting cheated on send a person a message that they were not good enough. It can be tough but you can deal with this if you are really into that person. It can be rough but don't lose hope. You can always share what you feel. Be there for him/her. You won't have to be accountable forever. Time is the best healer. Be yourself, they may start trusting you. People often like to know who you really are, not what you think they want you to be. Be patient and kind him/her

I haven't dated anyone who has been cheated on. Instead I have faced a similar situation in my life, not once but twice! I was heart broken both the times but never gave up trusting others. Either I am way too stupid or way beyond optimist! I have risked myself that way, hopeless in love! I think it will be little harsh we tend to judge others on the grounds of one individual. We will never see how others may not be the same. At the same broken hearts are difficult to be repaired. But again, enough love can be the ice breaker!

Try to reassure them, talk about it if you feel that'd be best. Ask what they're afraid of and why they shouldn't be afraid to get hurt like that again

You should talk about it with them. Get them to tell you how they feel, and then reflect on that. Ask how you can help them.
