My mother once had a friend whose girlfriend cheated on him. She told him "once a cheater, always a cheater". He got back with her anyways and now they're married and have a family. Go with your gut feeling but be prepared.

Give them a chance and try not to expect the worst of people going into a relationship. That could cause a lot of friction and end the relationship before it even starts. However, if you notice them acting differently don't jump to conclusions. Talk it out with then and use your best judgment to move forward.

I think you should over think your decision. If they cheated on you in the past, they can do it in the future. It may take time for you to grow this courage to actually leave this person but its the best thing for you. unhealthy relationships are extremely bad for both people in the relationship.

It's important not to be too paranoid, as trust is the basis of a good relationship. If suspicious behavior starts, talk it over with your partner before automatically assuming that they are cheating.

There has to be a reason it happened, ask him or her about the reason and try to have as much communication in your relationship if you really adore that person

I should be very careful not to get hurt. Establish very clear boundaries from the beginning, make sure we deal with trust issues and are honest with each other.

Respect yourself enough to know what you have signed yourself up for. Have they changed as a person?

Talk to your significant other about it. If they openly admitted they have cheated in the past they are willing to work things out. If they have hidden it and you found out some other way, you may need to reconsider your relationship.
