Gain their trust, make them understand that you will not abandon them and that you will be faithful to them.

Show that you would never do the same thing. Don't say it, actions works way better than just words, and they can easily think you're lying. Show that you love him/her more than ever, maybe make a gift from the heart or a letter?

Ask them to judge you based upon your actions not their previous partner's behavior. It can sometimes be simply a way to control and manipulate a new partner rather than a true concern.

Make sure that you assure them that you won't cheat on them. They want to feel safe around you and don't want to go through that ordeal again.

Understand that they may have hesitation in the relationship when it comes to trust, they've been let down before. Be patient, kind, and show that you are not them and worthy of their trust.

I went through this as well. Here is what I did. Be myself. Be consistent. Don't allow the person who cheated, affect who you are. Treat your other half with love, and although they've been hurt, they will see someone in front of them who doesn't fit the description of their past.

You will have to give them time to trust you. I will say that people who have been cheated on might not be very trusting of people.

Don't cheat on them. respect that they're worried about that and make sure you make it clear that you're faithful and you won't do that to them.

Be there for your partner during their bad days, and just make sure that they know that someone will be there to listen, no matter what, Listen to them and cherish every word--it can make anyone's day better,

Expect a lot of distrust and broken smiles. This person needs reassurance and honesty all around. While they may love you, there's still more than likely a lot of fear and paranoia buried beneath their everyday facade. You just have to be patient with them, and show them you love with through your actions.
