Sí ya tiene novia no te tires a otra. ( This is a guess, let's see what else comes up)

Si ya tienes una novia, no la engañes.

or slang:

Si tienes novia, no (le pongas los cuernos.) o (le quemes el rancho.)

These are a few of many. : )

Si tienes novia,

no la engañes (con otra).

no le seas infiel.

Informal:

no le pongas los cuernos.

Saying:

No dejes camino por coger la vereda:

Do not leave the way to take the sidewalk.

(Please correct my English)

"Way" sounds unclear to me there: I would use "road" as the best fit given the presence of "walk", although something like "do not leave the main path for a side path" might work too - bosquederoble, Apr 7, 2014
Con permiso, senores, dice "Don't leave the highway for a side road," ¡Saludos! - Moe, Apr 7, 2014
I think Moe has come up with a very good option there. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 7, 2014

How about:

Informal:

Si ya tienes novia, no la engañes con otra.

Formal:

Si ya tiene novia, no la engañe con otra.

Check out a song at Lyrics Translate dot com (a totally free site) that is called "Mentirosa" (Liar). The song is about cheating. It's a great song by a group called "Maná", one of my favorite latin rock groups. In that song you will mostly see "poner los cuerpos" used for "cheating on someone". At that site, I have translated the song "Mentirosa" into English. I like doing that because it helps me learn Spanish.
