You&rsquo;re in a beautiful, amazing, brand new relationship. It&rsquo;s shiny, new, and glorious. He&rsquo;s amazing and he makes you feel amazing. Everything is basically perfection. And then the bomb gets dropped. He&rsquo;s cheated before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">The fa\u00e9\u00a7ade is shattered and you are left vulnerable and confused and questioning his every move. But do you really have anything to worry about? Is it true what they say? Is it really that once a guy is a cheater, he is always a cheater? A number of factors come into play when questioning whether someone who has cheated will cheat again. These are them&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>He was young<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any form of cheating that went on before the age of 20 is basically exempt.

If you learn about his wrongdoings through someone else, and upon questioning him, he doesn&rsquo;t have a valid reason for withholding the information, you should probably be concerned.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">He blames his ex<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If he doesn&rsquo;t take responsibility for his actions when you broach the subject of his past, you can probably assume that he doesn&rsquo;t truly think he did anything wrong. A guy who blames his ex&rsquo;s behaviour for &ldquo;driving him&rdquo; to infidelity, will ultimately find it very easy to do exactly the same thing when things start to get a little rough between you and him.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">His friends are cheaters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, it is not necessarily true that all guys who hang out with other dudes who cheat will ultimately cheat, but for someone who is already guilty of this misdoing, it is a lot easier to get away with when you&rsquo;re surrounded by other people who won&rsquo;t judge you if he slips up again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to know if your dude will do it again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84318,"featured_media":75863,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64613],"tags":[66485,68198,65549,77973,77970,65720,77972,64616,64630,77971],"class_list":["post-54953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-relationships","tag-cheat","tag-award-season","tag-cheating","tag-bandeau","tag-sundresses","tag-infidelity","tag-hurry","tag-relationship","tag-romance","tag-coloured-mascara"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater? - 29Secrets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Is it true what they say?
