I recently started seeing a woman I genuinely enjoy. The thing is, I'm not so sure how to consider her history. She's great, open, honest, fun, grounded.... We're both in our early 40's, but she has not been in a lesbian relationship before, and it's been many years since she's been in any relationship. She's been on anti-depressants for a couple years, had a tough time with the illness for a few years before, and says she's dealt with mild depression most of her life. She was sexually abused by her father when she was quite young. She spent much of her life thinking he screwed her up enough to make her gay and so tried to live straight. She's been in therapy for the last few years, and seems really together now. The attraction's mutual on many levels. Sex is very good. I'm just worried about starting a relationship with someone who's done well professionally but avoided personal relationships for so much of life. Am I setting myself up for heartache?
