Should You Date Someone Who Cheated In The Past

You know what they say, once a cheater always a cheater but would you date someone who had cheated in the past? Many singles find themselves caught in this dilemma and they are not sure if they should be dating someone who cheated in the past. There are two basic schools of thought on this and you need to decide for yourself which school of thought you fit into best.

The first school of thought is that once someone is a cheater they are always a cheater. In this instance you would believe that because someone has cheated in the past that they are not worthy of your trust or your commitment because they are likely to cheat on you. Because there are statistics out there that state that 50% of people cheat on their spouse at some point in their relationship and the numbers are even higher in those that were not actually married. This means more than half of the people that you will meet have cheated in the past, so should you never give someone a chance because they made a mistake?

The other school of thought says that just because someone has cheated before doesn't mean that they will cheat on you. In essence, they deserve another chance. Maybe it was just a one time mistake or they were trapped in an unhealthy relationship. Whatever it was, the cheating was a mistake and makes not real indication of what sort of person they will be in your relationship. Basically, you don't take into account what they have done in the past and you start fresh based on your relationship and what you know of them.

So, what is it for you? Do you feel like once someone cheats that they will always be a cheater? Or, do you feel like cheating may be something that can be a one time mistake never to be repeated again? You may need to know under what circumstances the cheating took place or you may not want to know anything about it. You really need to determine who you feel about things before you determine if you believe that you can trust someone who has cheated in the past.

Whether you can date someone who has cheated in the past is something that you will need to establish for yourself. Many people feel that this is a very black and white issue, but when you meet people who have cheated in the past you may find that it is not so black and white for you.

You may need to take this on a case by case basis, as everyone is different and so too are their reasons for cheating. Can you trust someone who has cheated in the past? Can you date someone who has cheated in the past?
