It is hard to live with a person that has been molested or raped. So many things run thru their mind at one time. The thing that has to be remembered is that if you love her you must show her. A man has been the one that has done her wrong in the past. Why would she let her guard down to another man. I think she loves you but just cant let go of the past. Another thing is you cant keep throwing her past up to her. Its hard enough. My mom always told me if you lie about the small things you will lie about the big things. The point is just dont lie tell her the truth no matter what. I would say try to work it out. She really needs you if you care so much about her.

Good luck

You are damned if you do and damned if you dont! I think you two don't actually know just what you want. She will have very strong emotional problems if she has been raped and molested in the past and these need to be addressed and sorted. I know how you must feel. I split with one of my blokes in the past and i felt a wreck. It took me a long time to get over him and i moped around for ages but i'm glad i went through that and didn't go back. It made me a stronger person and i did go on to meet someone much better. I think you need some time on your own. Realise your worths and values and try and stay away from her. It will be the making of you.

Take care

AngelofLove agony auntYou do not sound that compatible to me. You mention that you love her but all the other comments are negative which indicates that differences must be beyond repair.

Why would you want somebody that lies to you and turns situation into being your fault?

In order to move on, you need to accept that it is over, distance yourself and meet other people until you find the One.

You ex being molested is a separate issue altogether, some people never recover from the trauma. It is not up to anyone else to decide how they cope but to the victim. You cannot force anyone to go to councelling if they do not feel comfortable going.

Be positive and a fresh start. Good luck xxx

i think that her being raped and malestered has left her with trust issues, that you aren't exactly helping the situation by lying to her. the fact tht it has ended so many times may mean that it isn't working and proberbly will not. you both obviously have your own issues you need to work through and you will most likely be able to do that better apart, then see how you feel afterwards!

i suggest you take a break and concentrate on yourself, before your relationship, first. if she still has unresolved issues with what happened to her in the past, then thats something only she can work through alone.
