Hello and welcome to PC!

It's a little coincidental that I should read this thread. I recently reconnected with my best friend from high school through facebook. She was never what you would call "selective" when it came to sleeping with people in HS and college. She had a child and when her daughter was about 2 she discovered that lifestyle wasn't working for her. She had been attempting to trade sex for love.

In this transition of life, she met a very conservative man. She would not introduce him to her daughter until she was sure that he was in her life for the long haul, nor did she cut her time with her daughter short to make time for him. She also decided that sex only adds unnecessary drama to a relationship and would not have sex before marriage. She did decide to marry this man, and they've been married happily 12 years.

Now I have no idea where this relationship of yours is heading, but what I do know is that when you truly love someone, it's unconditional. You must respect her boundaries and decide if you love who she is now, not past behavior. It sounds like she's confident enough in your relationship that she doesn't have to do what she's not comfortable with to keep you.
