everyone deserves a second chance, its only a mistake if you learn from it. if they don't learn then walking away would be the only option

It's a bit of a risk considering you know the story of the person you are dating, and wondering if this person could also be disloyal with you. Follow your gut and if you don't feel comfortable with going along, it's your choice to back away, and you don't have to blame yourself for the choice you've made. You know what you want for the relationship to work, and you wouldn't want to risk someone cheating on you.

You should keep a close eye,but not took close. Listen to the opinions of others and if it does turn out to be that he is cheating on you break it up immediately.👍✊✌

Give them a chance, people change. As long as he/she hasn'5 cheated on you, you will have no reason to doubt their loyalty.

This may be an unpopular opinion but everyone deserves a second chance and a right to prove themselves and grow. People do make mistakes and your partner may be perfect for you despite previous errors. Be sure to have a good talk with the person you're dating and make it very clear that cheating for you is a dealbreaker and that honestly is important to you. Discuss why your partner cheated, if they regret it and how he/she is going to make sure they don't cheat on you. Then I would advise giving them the benefit of the doubt. But if this person betrays your trust dont be ashamed to leave them. I think this is the fair way to handle the situation

Demand honesty above all from that person and try to understand how much she/he has changed after that experience. Set limits and expectations upfront, so she/he knows what it is okay and what is unnaceptable.

I have been in this same situation, if you genuinely feel like the person has changed give it a shot. But if you still have doubts don’t put yourself through all the emotional stress that may come with the relationship.

It's normal that you are feeling worried. If you are feeling anxious or worried about it, the best solution is to have an open conversation with this person. It's possible it was a learning experience for him as well and he won't be doing it again in the future.

As someone who has been here, this is what I’ve collected from my personal experience: They may try to guilt trip/manipulate you into staying, and you may feel obligated. They also victimize themselves, and will suddenly become very suspicious/protective over you. You love this person, even though they hurt you, and that’s pefectly normal. However, I don’t believe that if someone does it once, that they won’t do it again. Because if they were capable of it in the first place, they’re capable of it again and again. and if they loved you in the first place, it wouldn’t have ever happened. The decision to stay or leave is your choice. But, I don’t think someone who cheats truly loves and respects their partner.

They do deserve a new chance, but they might cheat again. Nobody changes overnight, but you should give them a chance befure you judge them.
