I'm dating someone who has cheated in the past. What should I do?

listen to what is in your heart and even more importantly, what's been missing....you are the captain of your ship and the only one who can ever tell you what to do. when you have any issues at all, emotionally or physically, spiritually or otherwise......pick one. Work on the biggest one first. Then move down to the next one. Soon, all of these issue will combine into one. You will see how they are interconnected. At that point, you have a much better chance of understanding, seeing, feeling the whole picture. Which is really all we are all here for.

I can not speak for anyone and their experience. However remember that is okay, to feel how you feel and to expresses these feelings to the person you are with! Maybe you could try and have an open discussion with the person you are with. To discuss what happened in the past and to have an open mind when moving forward. Also try not to hold what happened in their past against them, just have these conversation as something to help your future. Sometimes when these thoughts creep in, remain calm and just try and breathe! Remember your both human and make mistake but to move forward together!!

being in a relationship requires trust. Trust is a key component. If you cannot trust your S/O, then how will your relationship work out? You must communicate and ask for reassurance. Try and be open, talk to them about it. Ask them to explain what happened, why it happened, how it made them feel. Myself personally, I have been cheated on and cheated on a S/O. It is not something I’m proud of. But I can proudly say my experiences have given me lots of perspective on relationships. I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. We are as healthy as can be. He knows I have cheated in the past and he accepts that, because he trusts me. We communicate and I make sure to reassure him and make him feel safe. In any relationship, there is always a possibility the S/O might not be faithful, and going into a relationship you have to be prepared to be hurt. It isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. There’s always ups and downs. To be in a relationship, is to risk being hurt in order to be loved. In my opinion, I think worrying over whether a person will be faithful or not is a waste of time. You cannot prevent a person from their own personal choices and urges. It is out of your control. Trust, honesty, communication, that’s what makes a good relationship. If you’re busy overthinking and worrying, and not talking to them about it, it will just take you away from the reason you’re with them in the first place. it will cause a drift. Talk to them. Tell them about how you’re feeling.

I would break up with him/her so you won't get hurt in the relationship. Because a relationship is about trusting your partner not stabbing them in the back. And you didn't really want the person and non did you love that person. And if you loved them u wouldn't be cheating on them but some times it's good to let someone go when they cheat because you don't want them to come back and they start telling you that they love you they don't so don't let then back into your life so they can mess it up again. So be yourself and don't let anyone control you.

A lot if people go through it. I personally feel that the person who cheated on you should be ashamed, emphatically speaking, I understand. You should try to move on from that person and their mistakes and not keep the person in your life because the person will betray your trust again and again. You should not let such toxic people in your life because that might affect your mood the vibes in your life too. Make the right choice for your future self and you will always be happy with the outcome. Don't feel too negative and be hopeful.

I would seek a therapist or counselling. It would be hard to build trust and build that foundation again. Only you is the expert in your life and feelings. Everything will depend if you are willing to forgive give a second chance or move on. Sometimes, feelings and emotions can be deceiving, we must assess our mental health and always do and decide whatever's beneficial for our own health. If you decide to forgive and give that person a second chance, it's important that the person is willing to change and values the relationship. It's always easier to escape but if you are both willing to work on it then it's still possible to heal and reconcile. But if you feel like the damage has caused you a lot then it's time to move on.

everything is a lesson learned, & the lesson you’ve learned should always help you with your second choice. you may need to allow yourself time before you truly make a permanent decision! if the cheating happened before you were involved; i would build your own trust of that person and go from there. whatever you decide make sure that it is truly YOUR CHOICE. no one can determine your path, take your time in finding what you truly want in a relationship. if you feel the trust is 100% there then by all means you should go for what you want.

Ask yourself, can a zebra change it's stripes? No. So to answer the question, if they have a history of cheating, they can more than likely cheat than not. That isn't to say they definitely will. I hope that makes sense without sounding contradicting. A relationship works if both individuals are communicating to the other effectively and trying to make things work. Being with someone regardless of who they are shouldn't be challenging, although for some it can be. Depends on their personalities too and what their goal is with you. Is the relationship worth it? Consider what would you do if that person cheats and how well can you handle such situations. Sounds like an over-thinking type of answer, but its realistically life. Good luck !

It must feel very anxious to date someone who has cheated on you. I suggest you to really look out for the person in terms of actions,words and etc. If you feel any suspicion, talk to the other person about it. Trust is the most important thing to have in a relationship. Although it may not be easy, gain their trust. However, if you feel that there is something they did wrong to you or have any suspicion, it is okay to let them know and end the relationship. It is not worth it to be someone who will cheat on you or have chances of them cheating on you if they show constant signs of it. However, if it is evident that they have learned from their mistake in the past, stay with them. Everyone makes mistakes and they could have made a mistake. If you have any additional questions, feel free to leave them here for the community

I would try and have an honest conversation with them and discuss how their cheating on you would make you feel. You have to build up trust and honesty with this person to help ensure that they are trustworthy and will not complete the same mistake that they did in the past. Try and keep the relationship open and honest. This way, you both can be honest if either one of you does make a mistake and can tell each other. Keep each other accountable for mistakes and clearly state what behavior is not tolerated by you, such as cheating.
