Gf is hypersexual(?) and has confronted her mistakes to me
Idk where to talk or ask advice to without having someone be biased or anything lol. Anyway, my gf and I are pretty young (M19, F18) and have been together for 2 years and counting.
We met each other online through interests of gaming and making friends, and eventually jumped into a relationship. She had hinted towards the start of our relationship that she’s hypersexual (having a high sex drive and some compulsive tendencies). I can admit that It was pretty exciting for me as well (ADHD lol). We have a pretty solid relationship and have met, her mom loves me and my sisters really like her. We had an instant connection and good chemistry.
My issue here is that around 7 months ago before ever meeting irl, she had a few compulsive behaviors of “flirting” or talking about sexual things with random people (would only last a day before forgetting about it). She had admitted this towards the 2nd week of my visit while I was with her. She’d say that it feels like some part of her just needed something to cope with(?).. She is (level 1) autistic and has been fighting depression, so compulsive behavior seems to be a coping mechanism in some way, for a relief?
She told me all about it and deleted/blocked all of her past mistakes and would let me through her phone as well. I trust that she’ll change because she wants to; we even spoke to her therapist about it.
I just wanna know if anyone has been in a similar situation and how it’s been with your partner? I just feel like I’m able to forgive her, but something in the back of my head still hurts.. I can also provide more info if this seems confusing lol.
