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

One important aspect of dating is trust. It can be very hard to trust someone who is known to have cheated in the past. If you're not sure about your situation, it is always advisable to tell your partner how you feel about their actions in the past. A good partner will be able to understand your fears and accept their mistakes. How they react to you expressing your fears tells a lot about who they are as a person and whether or not things will work between you two. They must be capable of understanding that the accusations are caused by their actions in the past and accept them while proving their intentions.

Ensure that you can trust them now. Although it may seem scary dating a cheater, there is a huge possibility that they have grown and learned from their mistakes. While they may say that they can be trusted, make sure that they reveal trust through their actions. Also, you can see if they have grown through their perspective of their experience. For instance, if they aren't proud of what they have done, most likely they have taken that situation as a learning experience and won't want to do that to anyone again. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck with your relationship.

A person should always get the benefit of doubt. First of all try to sit and discuss with the person what were the conditions and why (s)he had to take such a step. Communication clears out half of the things. Then try to put yourselves into that person's shoes and be empathetic. If the reason is genuine and seems like something you can accept, say so and also make him / her understand why cheating shouldn't have been the option and how they could've tried somehting else. If you are unsatisified by their answer, try to judge if they understand their mistake and has their attitude changed, if not try to explain things to them. Even after all of these, they seem to have the same attitude, it'd be better to maintain your distance.

As always, only you know your situation... only you know what you have been through & how cheating impacted you. Firstly evaluate the situation, can I forgive & forget long term. Am I strong enough to go through the healing process & actually heal to look past this?... Secondly, am I willing to take accountability for my actions & work through this with my partner. Thirdly, and most important...is this person's love what I deserve or want??????... The best thing about the human race is that we are all dynamic & beautiful in our own ways. Example... Some people are amazing strong, they have the ability to walk away without regrets, cheating is cheating!!. Then you get some that are amazing resilient with the capacity to love pass the flaws or mistakes .... guess it's up to you to figure out which type of dynamic you are, hugs

A person that cheats in the past can lose much trust from a partner. If you want to forgive them or if they did the cheating in a past relationship it is important to take to that person about how you feel. The worries and concerns you have when thoughts of the infidelity arise. If you are feeling that you want to trust them but have doubts, you should reflect on how willing are you to let do of the negative thought process. Reframing thoughts may help. When you refram thoughts you take the negative ones that come to mind and you change them to a positive.

I think that it is always important to be careful and aware. At the same time we shouldn't define everyone by their past. Some people make mistakes and learn from them and some people don't. I think it is important that you are upfront in what you are looking for with the person you are dating so that you don't set up unrealistic expectations. Many times people date the wrong people convinced that they will change for them. People change or grow on their own pace and accord. Another thing to think about is yourself and what you are able to handle. It doesn't hurt to try to get to know someone well enough to see if it is worth the risk. If you are someone who won't be able to handle it at the current time maybe it may not be ideal for now.

People who cheat in the past are not worth dating unless you either 1)Make a pact or 2)Find a way to trust them. Doing these prevents you from being hurt if they cheat and it will only make you more upset if you don't plan for these types of situations, you'll be more hurt. Mistakes are part of the human mind, and good people do bad things. You are allowed to think twice before dating them if they do not have a good relationship record. The main thing people look for in dating is someone they can trust and that will respect them.

I believe people can change and learn from their poor mistakes in the past, but with cheating, that might be a different case. It all depends on your boundaries and what you're okay with tolerating. Are there things you know about their behaviour, like why they cheated and how often? There's a lot to consider to analyse if they've learned from their mistakes. Sure, there will be doubts about their loyalty, especially to you, but I think you should always see their actions and tell whether it aligns with them being faithful to you during your relationship. You must make sure that you trust your current partner because all relationships need trust as a solid foundation—best of luck.

Its not necessary that if a prson cheated once he/she will cheat again it's important to know eachother better way and not jump into conclusions

Suggest that you be very careful and keep an eye out to make sure that he does not cheat again. Sometimes they do laps back to cheating but sometimes that might have changed. Most importantly how much do u accept the past and move forward.
