Boyfriend's parents
My boyfriend's parents are divorced because few years ago, his dad cheated on his mom and later she did the same too. But they still live together to raise him. If his father did that, would my boyfriend be like his dad in the future? I am worried about this in a way because i know he is being faithful to me but there's a saying "Like father, like son." You just never know what would happen later in the future.

Its really entirely up to him. He could choose either way, same as anyone. His parents having done it sets him a bad example but then he might learn from it rather than emulate it.

Just because his father did it doesnt mean he will there probly is a less of a chance now of him doing it because of the way he saw his mother hurt when his father did that. It all depends of what type of person he is if he took it hard when he heard the news about his father i dont think you have anything to worry about. Best of luck

I agree with Nova. You can't judge the boy by his father's mistakes. Also that "like father, like son" is generally directed towards positive.
He learned his parents cheated on one another, but I'm sure he also learned what kind of serious blow that is to a relationship. I'm sure he learned that cheating on someone causes pain and strife for all of those in the family. Yes, his parents' cheating behaviors caused him pain and strife, too. I'm sure he also felt deceived.
Yes, kids learn from what their parents do, that includes learning from their mistakes.
You have to give him the benefit of the doubt. He is not his father. To mentally persecute him for his father's mistakes is completely unfair (not that you do), as is worrying that he will make those same mistakes (yes, you do that).
Who will your boyfriend be like in the future? He will be like himself. He is his own person.

There's no way to really say for sure. If he does cheat on you, you really can't say for sure if it was because of what his parents did. I mean you can learn bad behaviors from those close to you. Then again it maybe a good thing, he may learn from their mistakes and decided not to "go there." For an example a good friend of mine. His mother was an alcoholic when he was growing up and now he wont even touch a drop of booze. I don't think it's fair to your boyfriend to speculate that he may cheat just because of what his parents did. Also, I think that the saying, "like father like son" is used more in a positive way such as, sitting with feet crossed, like my son does. Then again I guess I'm just an optimist.
Well, good luck.
