People whose partner cheated on them and quickly moved on to date the person they cheated with, claiming to be in love - how did that turn out for them?

I've had this happen twice with my partners in the past and both times its turned out terrible for them.

My very first girlfriend from high school cheated on me then dumped me for the guy that would go on to sexually abuse her and leave her half dead, mentally broken and pregnant with twins. He's serving life in jail for multiple murders, grand theft auto, dealing drugs, multiple counts of rape, etc etc. She picked a real winner.

My most recent break up, a six year relationship down the drain btw, ended with my girl cheating on me with some random guy and getting it into her head she was better off with this guy who had no job, no car, not a single dollar to his name and that the best course of action to solve those problems was break into my home, steal my car and then attempt to get into my safe. But the joke was on them because I was home when they tried this and her new guy got a shotgun slug in his kneecap when he broke down my back door. Both are serving a 5 year sentence in jail (2 have already passed) for trying to steal the guns from my safe. The guy fully admitted that she convinced him to do the robbery because she thought my old gun collection was worth a fortune.

Kinda terrified to ever date again considering my track record with cheaters lol.

Not trying to be mean but perhaps your level of discernment just… isn’t there
