Cheaters never change?

Ok...i hooked back up with my ex a few days ago and things are going great!!! But last time we was together he broke my heart and I'm really afriad to trust him again.....I have always said and been told "Once a Cheater....Always a Cheater" and as much as I want to believe that's not true I cant. How can I tell if he's telling the truth and how can I learn to trust him? He seems to be really trying to make it work this time and I'm going to mess it up if I dont learn to trust him....I really need some advice here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    just think of how stupid your going to feel when it happens again because it will. I'm not saying people can't change but it's rare. you could be missing out on meeting a guy that won't cheat or hurt you. I say don't waste another min on this guy and move on, don't you think you deserve better??

    Unfortunately my dear the phrase "Once a Cheater Always a Cheater" is very accurate. At least with you anyway, if he has cheated on you once you shouldn't be surprised when he does it again. What was his excuse for cheating on you? Is that something you can really live with? You will never be able to trust him after something like that and you will only end up tearing your self-esteem down and every time he is out of your site you will go insane wondering if he is really being faithful to you. Is the sex really so good that its worth risking your happiness in life? If I were you I would drop him like a bad habit and move on with a new a fresh relationship without all of the baggage. And when you lose trust you lose everything. Sorry you are going through this. Hope I helped!

    People can change. We can't make a blanket statement and say once a cheater that you will forever be one.

    More important is how you are with it. If it's always going to bother you then you're better off walking away now. There are way to many people in this world to stay in a bad situation. Not trusting your partner is a bad situation.

    He needs to be completely open with you in everything he does and wherever he goes. He needs to understand that trust needs to be earned since he did something to break it. Eventually, the trust will build and things could get back to normal, but I think that once someone has cheated, the trust never gets back to 100%.

    i imagine that is not any longer black and white. some people will replace, and some people gained't. I say supply everybody a 2d chance, yet no more beneficial than 2. you may spoil my heart once, yet you attempt to interrupt it two times, that is out the door for you. i have in no way been cheated on, yet i have (kind of) cheated on my boyfriend once. It became purely kissing (albeit passionate kissing) and groping, and we stopped ourselves. All is nicely, this became honestly a 365 days in the past, and we've moved previous that challenge. i became stuck up contained in the instantaneous that one time, and that i have no objective of doing that again, I felt (and to immediately, nonetheless sense) so dirty and so lower priced in a while.

    I agree, he has my heart, that a leopard can't change its spots. He will always be tempted to cheat. Can you trust him? No, but you can love him with your whole heart and soul, and if he can grasp that love to his own heart then he will stay true to you.

    A test? How will he react when the subject of commitment... any kind of commitment to the relationship... comes up? If he balks, then he has not taken you into his heart.

    just try to trust him and see what happens and i dont think that if you cheated once that you are going to do it again

    talk to him,and its obvious tht you do want this to work on your realtionship as well so the best way to do it is talk it out and confront to him about your previous realtionship didnt work out and try a new ways to make this one work out..for good!

    and talk to him with the trust issues as well.
