If someone left their partner to be with you, they're capable of leaving you to be with someone new.

This one is painfully accurate. And doubled if they cheated on their ex. It's not romantic, you're not in a movie. They're a shitty person who cheated on their partner. They will do it to you.

if they'll cheat with you, they'll cheat on you
