<human>: When my girlfriend and I met, we were crazy about each other. We had a healthy sexual relationship. 
We had been together about 5 months when something terrible happened. A dog bit her face causing her to have to get stitches. This was 2 months ago and since then it has healed. However, she has a scar on her cheek about 2 inches long. It's more of an indent because the scar doesn't stick out. It is something that could be mostly covered with makeup (which she doesn't want to try.)

The problem is, we haven't had sex since the bite happened. I understand at first it was obviously too painful. But now that she is healed, I miss feeling close to her. I have been nothing but supportive and empathetic despite going through some very traumatizing stuff of my own while all of this was happening, but I'm starting to feel very unwanted.
 
 
Now that she is healed, I can't help but feel a little frustrated. She says she feels like she doesn't look like herself anymore, and is too self conscious to even go out in public let alone have sex. This has also made it impossible to do anything together aside from hang out at home, since she thinks strangers are staring at her face. To me, she looks exactly the same and just as beautiful. But no matter how many times I tell her how beautiful she is, she won't believe me. I understand this was very traumatic for her, and she is in therapy for it now. 

She basically told me she doesn't want to have sex for an indefinite period of time (until she feels better, the scar heals, I don't know), and I can deal with it or leave. She tells me I obviously don't understand what she is going through and that she's never felt this upset before. I care about her deeply and things were literally perfect before this happened. We haven't been together that long, so is this a reason to leave a relationship? I don't feel sexy or desired by her anymore at all, and I've always been a very self conscious person so this is only reinforcing a negative image of myself.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: my girlfriend got bit by a dog a few months ago, has a facial scar now, and doesn't feel pretty anymore therefore she doesn't want to have sex.
