Ask yourself if this is something you're comfortable with, first. If you're not, the relationship is only going to hurt you. But if you see potentil in your partner, you trust them, and you believe that they won't do it again, then there's not reason for you to be afraid. We can only do our best. There are no guarantees so don't try to control something you have no control over. Instead, just make sure that you are aware of the situation that you're in and that this is what you want (or not).
I hope that helps. Wish you well!

I don't know exactly the situation and I don't want to tell you what to do. For me, cheating is a deal-breaker. I know some people who can let it slide or get past it, and that's great, but I just don't think I could do that. It depends on the situation, of course. Communication is key. If you know exactly why and how your partner cheated on you, and he/she is open about it, then I'm sure it would be okay to get past it and move on. But I think that there is no excuse for a cheater.

People cheat because of different reasons. You should not judge your partner or to have a special attitude to her/or him. Very often relationships in which creating take place are already in crisis. So when people go for a step of adultery is usually a sign that they are failing in solving issues in their committed relationships. Thus, in order not to have such a situation, You should build trustful and open relationships with your partner. You must share your feelings with each other knowing that you will not be judged or evaluated. It is important that both of you feel free to discuss any worries regarding relationships with each other. If you solve your issues inside the relationships, then you should nod be afraid that your partner will look for relief outside of them.

Well, it all depends on that person's actions, because as cheesy as it sounds, actions are way louder than words. Do you think they have changed? Do you believe they will do it again? Do you believe you can trust them in the future of this relationship? My current partner had cheated in the past and I had a really hard time accepting that, but he proved me that he had changed and that he really loves me, which eventually helped me feel more comfortable and eventually we started dating. But, ask yourself those questions and think they will help you answer your question :)
Hope this helped:)

Go into the relationship with an open mind. Everyone is capable of change,just because they had cheated on one partner does not mean they will do the same to every partner. If you are secure within your relationship there should be no need to worry. Understand that with every relationship comes new challenges.
Don't be pulled down by someone's previous relationship as this is the past and must remain there if you're aware of them cheating on someone then they have been honest enough to tell you which shows honesty going into the relationship. It is is important to treat them with respect for telling you.

Well, it depends on the person. What were his motivations for cheating? I mean, I'm not at all justifying cheating, but the context is extremely important in determining whether if he did it once, he'll do it again.
I'd say the best thing to do is to sit down with him and talk about it. If you leave it in the air, you may end up fostering these negative feelings to the point of resenting him, in turn souring the relationship. But if you talk to him, you can decide whether or not you can trust him enough to not constantly worry whether or not he's being faithful to you.
At the end of the day, trust is the foundation of any relationships. If you can't trust him, it'll only be toxic.

Cheating may bring loads of issues and even be emotionally, mentally challenging for someone who had been cheated. We should take time in knowing the person first before dating them.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Do not let people’s past to define who they are today. Best thing to do is, give yourself a chance to know them without being biased about their past. Know them better first and see how things will work. We may feel unsecured about them being faithful and loyal becuase they cheated some time in ther lives but we cannot just live and depend on our ‘‘What if’s’’. Give the personthe chance to prove himself and his intentions. Not everyone stays the same forever. Besides, everyone learns from their mistakes.

This is a tricky, but really good questions. I assume you are talking about having sexual relations with someone else as the occasions arise. Normally, people who have cheated with previous partners do not disclose it to a new date, but in this case, this person has. What you would want to know is why and how it happened so you can discern if it is close to a normal behaviour on the part of your new date or if it came with extraordinary circumstances. In my experience (and I am 68 by now), people who have cheated in the past tend to do it again, while others NEVER cheat no matter what.

Everyone makes mistakes but someone makes those, again and again, it depends on how you feel he treats you as an individual. Does he hide a lot of things from you? Is he ever open about things he does or what he feels? Dp you feel you can trust him no matter what situation it is?If he cheated in the past, has he told you why and under what circumstances? was he forced or did he do it knowingly, hurting the other persons feelings? Theses are several possible questions you can ask yourself and it is always best to talk it out if you have theses concerns with him.

I am not sure why you feel you should do anything? If you've made a decision to date someone who has cheated in the past, you made a decision to be with that person. If you are going to continually question whether or not your partner is cheating or will cheat - you will never have a meaningful relationship - as relationships are built on trust (among other things). I think what you need to ask yourself is can I trust this person? Do I feel they are going to cheat - if you do, you might want to reconsider the relationship before it goes to far.
