<human>: My girlfriend and I have only been together for a month and I knew she wanted to take things slow from the get go.

A few days ago we were making out and I tried to take things further but she told me she wasn't ready yet. I thought no big deal, she'll let me know when she's ready in the future.

Well last night we were at a party and she told me she was sexually abused when she was younger and that's why she wanted to take things slowly. Understandably, she wouldn't go into much detail but I told her I was there for her and we would work through it.

It had been on my mind all night so the next morning I told her I would be there for her whenever she felt comfortably talking about it. She says it's in the past and she doesn't ever talk about it. Which is somewhat understandable, but now the thing that happened in the past is affecting our present and future.

Obviously, I want to be intimate and have sex with my girlfriend and this is something I've never been confronted with and I don't know how to proceed. I want to talk to her about it more but I don't know how she'll react. Any advice you can give would be great.

<bot>: My girlfriend has trouble with intimacy because she was sexually abused and doesn't want to talk about it. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Any advice would be great.
