<human>: Hi Reddit! I previously posted about having caught my girlfriend in several small lies. I was bothered by the fact that she had not "come clean" in either instance, and had instead remained fairly adamant that she was telling the truth until she was more-or-less cornered. That left me feeling very uncertain about what I could and couldn't trust. 

I initially posted on Reddit because I wasn't sure how her past history, which includes alcohol- and substance-abusing parents, abusive ex-boyfriends, and sexual assault, was factoring into everything. The general consensus seemed to be that I should break things off in order to prioritize my health and well-being. 

Along that vein, my girlfriend and I had a very lengthy conversation about the relationship last night. During that talk, she spoke about her prior sexual assault (which she had not previously opened up about) in greater detail, and knowing what she went through, how she processed the emotions, some of the difficult situations she's faced since then, etc. really helped put some aspects of her dishonestly in perspective for me.

While I maintain that dishonesty is unacceptable in a loving, trusting relationship, I am now more torn than ever about how to proceed. I had planned to break things off with my girlfriend yesterday night, but I couldn't bring myself to do that when she was sitting in front of me bawling, and recounting a very painful memory of being sexually assaulted. In addition, I feel like I can now understand WHY she might have lied in at least one instance. At the same time, I recognize that her issues are not necessarily my issues, and that I can't necessarily "help" her process them and come to terms with them.

Do you think I would be better off ending the relationship? Or do you think I should give her another chance, given that she was brave and honest enough to share a very painful past experience with me to help put her dishonesty in context?

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: had planned to break up with girlfriend given inability to accept her dishonesty, but instead had a long talk about her history of sexual assault, which helps clarify why she behaved as she did. Unclear where to go from here.
