Advice for dating wonderful woman who was victim of sexual abuse?

This is a touchy question. I am involved romantically with a woman who has a history of sexual abuse from her childhood. She is wonderful! There are times (not too often, but often enough), when sexually she seems to not be interested, and even though I am, that fact alone seems to put her off and we ultimately get into a fight. It's kind of like intimacy with me, if I initiate it, sometimes turns her off. I am looking for some advice on how to deal with this issue b/c I don't want my own libido to be the cause of a breakup from a woman I love so much. Any helpful advice.Advice for dating wonderful woman who was victim of sexual abuse?
You have to be patient with her. I can see where she's coming from. Because of the sexual abuse, she was used and was there to gratify someone else's sexual wants. So perhaps by you asking she gets upset. It's not that she loves you any less but she wants to distinguish between your relationship and what happened to her in her past. Be patient with her. Show her how much you love her. Sometimes you might be upset at her and hurt and while that's not necessarily fair, she's in a tough position too. You have to give her time and develop the relationship further. If she sees that you sincerely love her and care for her, she'll be closer to you. It's not that she is turned off by you but her mind could be messing with her and memories could come back. Personally, I wouldn't want painful memories to be associated with the man I love.Advice for dating wonderful woman who was victim of sexual abuse?
well it a very delicate problem. what you should do is get her to talk about experiences. if that's possible. it so difficult to advise.all i can think of is counseling. and if she agrees you both attend to-gether. to try and form some kind of personal relationship. i am sorry i cant be more helpful. good luck.
first she still needs counseling (professional) if she has done it she needs to continue and you definitely have to be patient sorry. This is truly difficult because if she is still thinking about it then she truly inst ready for it. Do you speak to her about your needs and how you feel about her? Let her know to meet you have may-she may cry then hold her but patience is the main thing.
