Make him/her earn your trust. Let him/her prove to you that he/she has changed. Don't let your doubts fill your heart and mind. Give him/her a chance.

in my personal experience, If you're dating someone who has cheated in the past,be cautious. Know that people change. for better or for worse so, it's best to be aware of your partner and what he/she may be doing. but be sure not to be protective/needy. Also notice if he/she is distancing themselves from you,or seem less themselves. Confrontation is key before accusation.

If you're comfortable, I think that sitting down and talking to them about it would be best. Jumping to conclusions wouldn't help the situation, wait to hear their side of the story. From there you should choose if you want to continue dating them!

If you are dating someone who has cheated in the past don't break up with them because of that, for all you know they could have changed.

First make sure they know you are aware they cheated. (Unless the cheating in the past was on you) and get the full story if the person really wants to be with you they will understand that you may have trust issues but let them try to earn your trust.

It's important for you to try your best to trust them, while still keeping in mind accidents do happen. Do not go against your better judgment - if you feel like you could be harmed by this relationship in any way, you ought to be even more careful.

Honesty is key in any relationship; if you have worries about what might happen in the future, bring them up and discuss your anxiety.

I really hope you're in a happy relationship with him/her right now, but please be careful. once a cheater, always a cheater. but maybe some do turn over a new leaf, but just be careful to not get yourself hurt :-) cheers
