Is it right to judge your current partner just because you were cheated on your previous relationship? If your ex boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife cheated on you with another person in the past, would you judge and think that your current partner would also do the same? Is it fair to that person at all? I don't think so, I think it is very very unfair for someone to do that, comparing you to someone who cheated on them is plain unfair on your part, even the innocent things that you do he puts malice on it just because he is too paranoid that the same thing might happen to him again.. What do you think?

"Once burned, twice shy!" so goes the familiar saying. Sure, it is human nature to protect one's self after having been betrayed. That is not a pleasant experience, and many would rather not go through that again. However, to apply the same yardstick to another individual is a little bit unfair and a little bit illogical. It's a different person, thus, he/she brings different energies to the relationship. Also, being new, that person deserve to start with a clean slate, and should be thought of as sincere and honest until he/she proves you otherwise. Pursuing a different train of thought here, if a person keeps attracting people that cheats on him/her, then the problem does not neccessarily lies on his/her partners. It simply means that he/she has the problem, some personal issues that needs to be cleared up, that just makes him/her attracted to the wrong person. Until he/she overcomes that, the pattern will remain the same. Until the lesson is learned, the universe will continue to teach you, sometimes in harsh and painful ways, unfortunately.

It is totally wrong to judge our current partner by looking up into our past. Our current partner is probably not same as our past partner. We might have been cheated in our past by our partner but there is no such guarantee that our current partner will be the same. It might happen but we should not just judge them by our past experiences. This is what happens in case of relationships.

No, it is not right. We can judge people in the present by the actions of those we knew in the past.

Every person is different, even twins do not share exact characteristics. We should always remember that because of this differences we should not judge others because of the wrong doings of some people. If you judge them ahead, your relationship will just end in bitterness and break ups. Most of all you will steal the time and happy memories that you could be making together by giving this person a chance rather than "ranking" him to be like the others.

I think its not in control of any human being.... its human nature that if some1 cheat him, his thinking will be automatically change for every1 else. He will see every1 with the same view....

But still it is unfair to the new partner, she does not deserve that kind of suspicious treatment, just because of someone in his past even her credibility is doubted. I just fond it really unfair.
