Hi there... lurker here, and occasional poster...
Right... more whiny relationship rubbish up ahead, so I'll get it over and done with.
There's a girl... still with me? Right, there's a girl, and I've fully established that we like each other. She's told me she likes me. But the problem is that she's been in a couple abusive relationships in the past and is struggling to trust me enough to let herself be vulnerable, since it's been broken enough times before.
I am a patient man, but a part of me would like to know that what we have will lead to something. I've made it clear that she can take as much time as she needs/wants, but I wonder how long is too long...
Do I wait? Do I just try to stay friends and help work with her on her problems? Do I bail? Do I do something else entirely?
Thanks...
