Being with someone who got cheated on
So. My ex got cheated on by their previous partner. When we were together things were so great, and we were getting to that comfortable place in the relationship, but then out of the blue they just break up. No real reason, just a bunch of weak excuses.
I think my ex was scared that I might cheat or hurt them in the same way, and that's why they left, but I don't know for sure.
I want to reach out and talk about this more. I think they would be receptive to it, but I also want to give them as much time as they need to figure things out on their own. I also don't know how to go about reaching out without devaluing my own self worth by running back my ex.
Any advice would be great. Thanks!

you may be right and once you reached a certain spot he bolted out of fear ...... i think being cheated on is bad i have been in those shoes but i would not assume others will do the same....
i think people whom have been cheated on need time to sort things out i did not think i needed it until the situation was reversed and i was tempted to stray i could see how i justified those feelings cause spouse made me feel worthless ... i then realized that perhaps that is why he had done that years ago .....people who have been cheated need to evaluate what they can give in relationships and if fear is all that drives them they will never be happy
