Do men who cheat ever change?

I am getting married soon.

My DP has been married twice before and it is my second marriage too.

In both his previous marriages DP has been unfaithful having one night stands.

DP and I have a wonderful relationship and I trust him 100% but now I'm starting to worry that if he cheated on his other wives then maybe one day he'll do it to me too.

Do men like this ever change? I spoke to DP and he says that he has grown up a lot since then, to be fair it was when he was in his early 20's (mid 30's now).

Am I being naive, will he cheat on me some day too??

Haven't rtwft but no I don't think cheaters do change. Many do calm it down as they get older mainly as they get less opportunity to play away due to their dwindling looks etc. But in their heads I think once a player always a player.

I believe that people can change. My ex cheated on me and I don't think he'd do it to his next wife. Knowing what I do about being on the receiving end of an affair, however, I don't think I could trust someone who'd had an affair. Plus the fact he's cheated twice means he didn't learn his lesson first time round!!

Out all my male friends through sports, university, following Arsenal, work colleagues.
NOT one cheater has ever stopped.
I know for women it's different but men never stop.

Some have been forgiven or moved in with OW but all of them continue to cheat or at least try.
It's stupid to get married to a person who has cheated in TWO marriages and think her won't cheat on you if he hasn't already.
