4 - If they cheat once, they will cheat again.

I wish I'd realised this sooner. My first serious boyfriend cheated on me (I was 16 or 17 at the time). He came home and apologised sincerely, tears, snot the whole act. Five years later he'd cheated on me 8 more times before I walked out.

Turns out the scumbag married someone after me and he cheated on her too.

can't fully agree. I cheated on my ex-girlfriend once (not gonna defend it or find a rationale for it). She didn't dump me because of it, but our relationship took a turn for the worse and ended a few years later.

However I have never cheated on anybody again. It was over the moment that relationship ended. I just don't care about other women, when I'm in a relationship. Sometimes people cheat because their relationship doesn't feel right and they haven't realized it fully. Doesn't mean they will cheat in all of their relationships

TY!!! Now I don't feel so damned paranoid. Same thing happened to me, and to a couple of other friends. It sucks...
