Starting a new relationship can be so much fun and so exciting.
However, if you're starting this relationship with someone who has been cheated on, they can be overcome by many different emotions. They've been damaged by someone's thoughtless and careless actions which will make them nervous to start anything new.
The best piece of advice I can give you is to be patient with them and try to understand why and how they will love you a little different than you may be used to.
They will question everything
Trust me when I say that it's not because they don't trust YOU. It's because they are thinking to themselves that maybe if they questioned their last relationship, maybe they wouldn't have had to go through as much pain and heartbreak as they did.
They are very emotional
I mean, that is to be expected… They've been hurt and badly damaged by someone and the smallest little trigger can set off the waterworks.
They love you deeply
Once it hits them that you are here, and here to stay, they will love you and love you hard... They will start to see a future with you and they will start planning a future, as well.
They have trust issues
That just comes with the territory, I guess... They will be scared to open up and let you in because they did that before and that just left them broken... I mean, I don't blame them. Can you?
They need your constant attention and reassurance
They want to make sure that you are still interested in them; that you still like them and that you are still committed to your relationship. If you're not giving them enough attention they will get very frustrated and ask you for your constant reassurance.
They won't automatically open up right away
It may seem that they are being distant, but trust me, they just don't want to give you their all until they know that you are here to stay.
They want to spend all of their free time with you
The fear of you spending all of your time with someone else is terrifying to them... They want you to want to be with them. It won't be easy; in fact, it will be difficult at times, but they are worth it. They are the ones that will appreciate you the most because you see something in them that someone else just threw away.
