Cheating doesn ' t happen in a bubble. It ' s very likely that there were other factors that led to your partner ' s decision, including a general unhappiness with their relationship.
However, cheating is never the answer. If your partner tries to blame someone else for their decision, such as the person they cheated with or the person they cheated on, you can ' t trust them.
They ' re not taking full responsibility for their own choices. Not only is that an immature approach, but it also communicates that they ' re not truly sorry for making such a destructive choice. While taking responsibility is important, your partner also has to show that they ' re sorry for how things turned out in the past. They don ' t necessarily have to apologize to you, since you ' re not the person they hurt. But they should express genuine remorse in one way.
If your partner exhibits some emotion when talking about their past decisions and makes it clear that they regret it, you can likely trust them. They ' ve recognized the pain they ' ve caused and they ' ve internalized it to some degree, which means they probably won ' t do it again.
Honesty is one of the most important facets of a relationship. Infidelity doesn ' t just break the trust in the partnership, it also ruins the honesty between two partners. If your partner is truly sorry for their past actions, they ' ll do their best to be totally honest moving forward.
Hiding their past instance of cheating from you is not entirely honest. If they ' re already omitting important details and avoiding tough conversations, things will only get worse in the future. They can be a liar without being a cheater, and you should never carry on a relationship with someone who ' s dishonest. Some people are serial cheaters. They cheat in every relationship, leaving a string of broken hearts behind them.
You can ' t trust those people. They don ' t think twice about hurting someone, and they clearly aren ' t learning from their mistakes. If your partner ' s instance of infidelity was a simple mistake in a single relationship, however, you can probably trust them. They don ' t have a history of injuring people just for the sake of it. Anyone can make a mistake once.
Imagine you had committed the same mistake. You are now ready to move on, and then your partner tells you he sees real loyalty in you and he likes how much you make him feel special. Give them a chance to be loved. Ask him why did he do it and if he regrets it.
Also think about whether he gives any signs he would do it again, like goes out and doesn't reply in his texts, goes on suspicious trips, flirts with other girls etc.
If yes confront him about specific behaviors you don't like. It doesn't mean that once a cheater, always a cheater, but I think it's good to have a conversation with him and let him know that cheating on you would be unacceptable. Are you the type of person who can just forget about a past scenario, putting all current doubts out of your mind?
Or will you always wonder whether your new partner is being true? That kind of insecurity can eat away at the foundation of a relationship, creating obstacles to genuine intimacy between you.
If you are worried every time the other person is a few minutes late, or if you find yourself wanting to check his or her cell phone numbers or read his or her emails, then this might not be the best relationship for you at this point.
Anonymous June 19th, am. Everybody makes mistakes. Love is confusing and life is hard. If you are in love, go for it Anonymous June 22nd, pm. Give them a chance everyone makes mistakes that they aren't proud so give them the benefit of the doubt. Learn about that person. Trust is important, build it. And specially, talk to this person about your concern. Learn to read your partner. You could also talk to his relatives and your concern.
Continue to date them, if it's working for you. The infidelity was a small indiscretion; it had nothing to do with why we eventually parted, and, to the best of my knowledge, it never happened again. If you can't imagine yourself ever feeling sanguine about your partner having done this in the past, though, you need to give them the chance to find someone who can.
Act cautiously, don't put to much of your heart into it. Your own happiness matters more than satisfying someone who may possibly turn and use your trust against you. Always trust your instinct. If you feel one way then act in another, you're going against your instinct. Your heart will always want something more but never give up your dignity for a person who has already degraded you once.

Coming from somebody who has been cheated on 10 times, there shouldn't be any 2nd chances if they do cheat. I would keep an eye out, because it's more than likely that you'd find out about it somehow.
You deserve to be happy, and if they cheat on you, you won't be happy. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully they regret their choices and have turned over a new leaf.
I don't believe in once a cheater always a cheater. Unless, of course, they have a long track record of cheating that you know about. I think start with trust or don't start at all.
Like many of the questions that are asked here, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. What IS important though is that you've talked to your partner about their past actions. One of the most difficult things about rebuilding trust after someone cheats is staying in the present moment and building toward the future, rather than living in or worrying about the past.
This might be the most important and hardest thing to do. Own up to your behaviors, and be understanding about how those behaviors have made your partner feel. Be honest with yourself as to why you made the decision to cheat. Show that you are worthy of trust. They will be angry and hurt about what you did, and they have a right to feel and express their feelings.
Trust cannot be rebuilt overnight. However, like we said above, your partner does not have the right to be abusive toward you, and you still have a right to your own privacy. Find out what your partner needs. Really listen to them. Be honest with your partner about what you need. If not, it might be time to reconsider whether staying in the relationship is right for both of you. We're here to help! To browse this site safely, be sure to regularly clear your browser history.
