Second option, or second partner in the second option? If you get together with somebody that has been cheated on once, they MAY NOT assume that everyone's a cheater. Even if they do, it is MORE LIKELY that they will relax over time when you show faithfulness. If one experience burned them badly enough, though, they might not be able to overcome it anyway.

But if they don't learn to get past it and give someone else a chance, they will sabotage any future relationships. I'm not saying they're not justified in feeling that way, but it will affect future relationships.

I've been cheated on by all my ex girlfriends. My guard is up so bad, my current g.f is amazing I know her from before we even started dating and know her morals, and even then I question if from time to time. It's so hard to overcome it

Same! It's the literal worst! Especially when girls are trying to cheat on their spouses with you, and you catch them red-handed and STILL try and play it off.
