Thank you all for the advice. I have been really needing it lately. I really do need to do a lot of thinking, praying and fasting on the matter. However, you all have brought points to my mind that I had not really considered as of yet. Thank you for that. I have just been so lost on the matter, but all of your answers have helped me a lot, and I really appreciate every one of them! Thank you!

So I have been dating this girl on and off since high school. Close to six years in fact. She has broken up with me a couple of times, and we have always ended up coming back to each other at some point later on.Before anyone asks, we've not done anything against the law of chastity, or anything remotely near to it. Anyway, I am really lost and need some advice. She has broken up with me a few times over the years, but never because she has lost her feelings for me. She claims that her feelings for me have never changed. The problem is that she has a bit of an issue with commitment. I am 22, and have been home from my mission for two years. She keeps coming back and breaking up with me again, and I just recently learned the issue. Someone did something to her when she was very young. I don't want to go into detail, but I am sure you can guess what it was. She said that this one event made her not want to ever get married, or have kids. She is trying to work through this so she can get married one day, but she said that she doesn't know how long it will be till she is ready, but it will probably be years if she is ever ready. I expressed my love for her, and said I am always here to talk. I want to always be there for her, and I will be, whether it is as a friend or more. I am at a crossroads,though. I have always loved her, and to this day do. Do I wait for her, possibly for years. Or do I move on? I am so lost.
