I?m after a female opinion. I?ve met a lovely wonderful woman. After a few months, we had a discussion over whether we were bonding and becoming as close as we hoped, and we both thought that we weren?t. She then told me she?d been abused quite horribly by her father and found it difficult to trust men. She felt that we were getting closer and she felt comfortable with me.
I think she?s great, but I?m concerned how to go about starting a relationship where someone?s been a victim of abuse. This issue has meant the start of the relationship hasn?t been as easy as it might have been. Any female advice would be gratefully received.
