Unfortunately, there is a good chance that this person cheats again.

People who have cheated on their partners in the past are prone to doing it again with a future partner.

Knowing that you have allowed that transgression to slide in dating him gives him a sense of power.

It gives him the impression that he has gotten away with it, even though you aren’t the one he cheated on.

The sentiment that he got away with one persists into a potential relationship with you.

Although you like this guy and want to see the good in him, keep in mind that much of the good impression you have of him so far is based on how early it is.

He is naturally going to show you his best self when it is this early and he is trying to impress you through courtship.

Impress you with his kind words, how intensely he listens to yours, how he makes you laugh, and how much you have in common with him.

You have already imagined a potential future with him, as you enjoy adventure and love.

These feel-good thoughts become addicting.

Being that you want to keep feeling as good as he has been making you feel, you don’t want anything to ruin that.

That includes knowing that he has previously cheated on his ex-partner.

You tell yourself that you have established such an amazing connection with him that if you were to date him, the experience would be different.

The connection you are establishing with him is so much stronger and better than what he had with his ex-partner.

This is where you make the grave error of thinking that you and he are different and that if he were to date you, he wouldn’t have the heart to cheat on you.

Regrettably, this is how the mind is prone to thinking when a guy is this charming this early into courtship.

Steer clear of this mindset.

Remember that he is presenting his best self, and no matter how much he seems contrite about cheating on his ex-partner, it doesn’t change the reality that he cheated on her.

The truth is, his ex-partner had the same experience you are having right now.

She was swept off of her feet, taken by his kind words and loving demeanor towards her.

She also believed that she had formed an intimate and unflinching bond with him and never dreamt that her whirlwind courtship would lead to a relationship that resulted in her getting cheated on.

She never thought she would be a victim of his infidelity.

Yet she was.

Should you choose to date him, knowing full well that he cheated on his ex-partner, he is only going to be more emboldened to cheat on you too, feeling like he got away with cheating on his ex-partner.

You are at a greater risk of getting cheated on by someone who has previously cheated on an ex-partner than by someone who has never cheated on an ex-partner.

You shouldn’t date this man.
