Hello,
Once a cheat, always a cheat isn't true some of the time.
You probably can't get over this because even though it's on the past it has never been properly dealt with, concluding that you can't trust him because of his past that you still ahve some quiries about.
Hope this helps,

reader, anonymous, writes (8 April 2006): Your 'symptoms' seem quite similar to a female friend of mine. Her bf's ex texts him for a happy b-day, and my friend blows up. She tells me she dreams of him cheating, etc, but I told her that it's her insecurities that's causing most of the problems. My friend is very possessive, and very jealous. I told her that one of the things to allow a long lasting relationship to grow, is to try to tame her bad habits. Her bf is a mature, loving, and responsible man. I just hate to see her ruin that by being so damn jealous all the time.
Also the thing about "once a cheat always a cheat" isn't true. It depends on the person and situation. One of my colleagues continues to cheat on his gf, even when he says he will change. However, a relative of mine cheated once a long time ago - he told me. After that one time, never again. He was drunk that night unfortunately.
Anyway, all u can do is trust him. I mean, it IS possible, but how likely is it?
