This is a personal choice and not one people can make for you. I'm sure people will tell you never to trust that person, however if they have never done wrong by you and you have no reason to distrust them then give it no more thought.

If you trust them then I think you should give them a chance. Listen to your gut and heart and if they disagree then do what you think is best for you. If you think he will cheat on you and you don't trust him then do what you think is best.

Keep it honest and encourage honesty in the relationship if it develops from dating to something more. Let them know they can be honest with you about their past infidelities. It takes a lot of patience to be accepting of someone who struggles with infidelity. Of course, you will have to decide whether or not you can work out honest communication with your new partner or if those transgressions are something you can accept in a long term partner.

Just because somebody has cheated in the past doesn't automatically mean they will cheat again. People can change, and if your relationship with them is smooth and trustworthy and loyal, then I'm sure there isn't anything to worry about! However, if you start getting suspicions, don't hold back about confronting them; it's okay to open up about how you feel and let them know what is on your mind. Stay safe :)

Well, the saying "once a cheater always a cheater" is not always the case. It really all depends, you are the expert on you, but if you feel comfortable and you trust them then I don't think you have a problem. Just try to trust them, that's all you can really do.

It depends on why they cheated and if they've shown they changed. They should understand that you may be a little cautious. I'd say just try to trust them as much as you can but to be careful and always go with your gut. You know what's right or wrong better than anyone!

If the person loves you, it is okay. People make mistakes. You should let go off your partner's past as long as it doesn't involve you.

be mindful of the circumstances. It may take extra support, compassion, and trust because of the situation. I definitely believe that the two of you can have a normal relationship though.
