Would you date someone who has cheated in the past?

[AlexisFaye]

If you had feelings for someone and wanted to go out with them but you found out they cheated on the last person they dated, would that be enough to change your mind?

[Paris13]

I always say that everyone Deserves a second chance in life, including Cheat sheets. However, as the saying goes: Buyer beware... A zebra sometimes doesn't change his stripes.
Give him a fair shot, but Don't be so quick to wear your heart on your sleeve, AlexisFaye. You don't want to get so attached that you end up getting burned in the end, so go easy with with the flow of Joe.
Life is a gamble, never any guarantee, but of course, Curiosity will kill the cat if one doesn't find out on their own what's in the bag for them. And if they screw up, going on another turf while leashed to you, you simply give them their walking papers and tell them to walk off a short plank.
With me, I would most likely take the plunge and hope that I would be everything they would Ever need in Someone. But no matter if 'Someone' were the Queen herself, if they are Not into a Real relationship, More Into playing around and Not being committed, then it's not because you don't have what it takes, it's because they just Don't want to pussy foot and Bond with any babe.
Good luck. xx

It all depends. Was it a one time thing or did he have another girl entirely on the side? Were there problems in the relationship before it happened or was it out of the blue? Had they been dating for a long time or were they barely official? Was he drunk or was he sober? There are a lot of variables to consider before saying no because of what happened in someone's past. Like SouthernFried89 said everyone makes mistakes. Statistics apparently show that 50% of people have admitted to cheating at some point in a relationship, so it's not uncommon and if he truly feels remorse for what he did, I think he should be given a fair chance.

i'm still not sure wether my fiance cheated on his ex or no.. i ask him a lot about it, but i can't be sure about his answers. anyway, i do think it would change my mind about marriage. but as much as it would bother me, i'm too close to him to break up for his past mistakes. but i sure as hell, would be very very careful and controlling in our current relationship

[Coldice]

Well in my honest opinion No I wouldn't... I might get stoned for saying this but people seldom change. If he cheated and got away with it there's always that possibility that he might think he can get away with it again.
In no way do I say that people can't change, its just in my experience peoples behavior is also based on there upbringing. I have a friend who cheated on his Gf, they are trying ti work trough it, but let me tell you it will also be in the back of your mind... Not a healthy relationship if you ask me. But if you can overlooked that it happened before you then good for you. Just be careful and maybe sit him down and discuss how you feel about it

[parkway]

Stop thinking like a woman and think like a man.

If you know he cheated and he knows that you are aware then he will be looking for a way to cheat on you because for many men cheating is just a way of life. Think about it, there are many stupid women who will sleep with a known rapist with the though that he is a nice guy. Women love abusers and think that love will heal all but the truth is they will never change. Some people just love hurting women just because women are that needy. There are so many women who let attractive guys just walk all over them

Everyone makes mistakes. If I was interested in someone and I learned this about them, I'd talk to them about it and try to understand what happened before I made a decision on whether or not that's something too concerning to me. It's all about the context of the situation.

[findingdreamland]

I would not be happy to date him to be honest. If I learned that he cheated , after we were getting close, yeah that would be difficult. I would feel uncomfortable, and have the idea maybe he would do again. I would talk to him. Why it was happened? I would lose my interest a bit , not gonna lie. I would rethink our condition.

[DodgersGM]

It would be difficult for me to date them, not gonna lie.

I would have to already be really connected to them at that point in order to completely overlook it, and I'd have to see reason to believe that they had changed. It would definitely put a bad taste in my mouth though, and if I found out up front I'd probably not date them.

[kambo_trick3y]

You know what's the funny thing about people who take back cheaters?

They always say the same thing.

They're optimistic, hopefully, they like to see the best in people.

Isn't it funny how it's always these very same, optimistic, hopeful people that are always the ones getting screwed over by people the most?

[Marihorror]

I hate to say it, but I don't think I'd be able to look past it. As someone who has made a countless amount of mistakes, I know better than anyone that people can learn and move on from their past. However, I have an incredibly hard time trusting people, especially men, to begin with so it'd be too much for me. I'd be in a constant state of paranoia which isn't healthy for either of us.

[cantsaylol]

Life's short so do whatever that will make u happy but cheating is a habit or can be.. If it happened before most likely it'll happen again with temptations..

Although I have no idea why anyone would be foolish enough to cheat on someone like u

[DontDropIt]

No I would not and yes it would change my mind in an instant. Who's to say it won't happen again? I'd rather get out while I can with my feels still in tact before setting myself up.

[donut94]

No way. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Sorry, i know it's cliche but I've been hurt to many times to risk it again. My hearts been broken too much trusting people

[steveisbored]

It is very difficult to date someone that has cheated in the past, because having been cheated on it just makes you worry and constantly feel like ahh will it happen again. If I liked the girl enough I could still try, but it would be hard

[citroen]

Def not coz the best predictor for future behaviour is past behaviour, he cheated in his past so thats his potential,

[Phoenix1991]

Probably not because its kinda uncomfortable and almost diffcult to trust someone who just took advantage someone else's trust.

[ESPNforever]

Yes, but I would sleep with one eye open, jk... You never know how your interaction may be with a person. It may be enough to change them.

[Johnyoo]

I'd *definitely* avoid someone I know has cheated in the past.

Nothing would change my mind.

[cphiecekslee]

Nope, someone who has cheated once will find a reason to cheat again

[Alexzktra]

Depends on the circumstances in which they cheated..

[Anonymous]

Yes that would be enough to change my mind. I don't have any respect for cheaters and feel they are likely to do it again. There is no reason to be with a woman I don't trust or respect.

[molan]

Not if I knew it, I hate cheaters... and I don't uses the term hate very much.

[Anonymous]

I would not date a cheater. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

[crystalt70]

I wouldn't date someone who has cheated before.

[tommy69]

yeah i would if they promised not to do it to me
