Its very hard to trust some people you know have done wrong in the past. The past is the past though and how we build ourselves up and the others around us is what matters. If they reloze what they had done was wrong and want to have a brighter future and attempt and bettering things then it could be a good thing. Only you can make the decision on what or how you go about it though. Cheating is emotionally harmful and hurts and I have been through it myself with my ex fiance whom cheated on me on several occasions. It hurt but I became more aware of what to look out for in the future.

There's an expression that goes along the lines of "trust but verify". So, If you're going to date, trust, but not blindly. You're making the decision to enter a relationship because you believe there to be a chance of it working out. Don't sabotage yourself or your relationship.

Take a step back and ask yourself if you trust them. No relationship is healthy without trust. Discuss your concerns with them.

You need to make a decision to either give this person a chance and trust them fully or you leave it before it starts and then you start working about if he will cheat on you

It depends if they've changed or not. If you can see a definite change in their behavior and you know they're committed to you, I'd tell you to go for it :)

If he had apologised and tried his hardest to win you back, then you should try again and hopefully it works outs.

It depends if they cheated with you or if they cheated with someone else. If they cheated with someone else, it should not matter. This is a new relationship and it should not effect the current relationship. If they cheated in their current relationship, you gave them a second chance you are basically telling them that you are allowing them to build trust with you again. So you should allow that person to do that. If you continue to have insecurities that leads you to consistently accuse them of doing it again without proof, then maybe this is not the relationship with you. A relationship without trust is a unhealthy relationship and it makes it difficult for both to find happiness in it.

Honesty and communication are key to any successful relationship. If their past cheating weighs on your mind, have an open conversation with your partner, and tell them how you feel. Make it clear that you don't condone cheating. When you have respect for yourself, it shows others that they need to have respect for you, too.

Have patience and ask him questions that you are curious about. Keep your distance but not too much of a distance to make him think that you don't want this. Before you start dating something, be sure that they have changed their ways
