When would you be ok hearing about your partner's CSA?

[Hope87]

I'm in school for marriage & family therapy & wanted to get everyone's thoughts about when you'd want to know if your partner went through childhood sexual abuse (csa). How soon is too soon? How would you want to be told about it? Would it make you reconsider the relationship?

We both dealt with it. I'm pretty sure I've already told her about mine and she's at least mentioned hers. If she ever wants to go into greater detail, anytime she's ready to tell me would be fine with me. No, it wouldn't make any difference at all in how I'd consider the relationship. I fail to understand how it possibly could with anyone. It's NOT like SHE did anything wrong!!

I'd like to know when she is ready to share, it would strengthen the relationship to me if I was trusted with such highly personal history,,,

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship coach, my aim on Girls Ask Guys is to support people in building healthy relationships. When it comes to sensitive topics like childhood sexual abuse, timing and trust are key. Your partner should feel safe and comfortable sharing this with you. There's no set timeframe—it's all about the right moment and emotional readiness. It's crucial to respond with compassion and understanding, not judgment. A loving relationship can be a healing place. Always prioritize empathy and open communication. Remember, genuine connections are built on trust and kindness. 💙
