writes: I love my girlfriend however she recently had an abortion as a result of a one off fling she had with a guy she used to work with before she knew me. She can't seem to let the past go and it seems to be making her more and more depressed. I have been supportive and encouraged her to move on, but I am scared that I am with someone whose past will destroy her. What can I do? Surely I can't be right if she doesn't look forward to the future with me and keeps dismaying over a past that was all kinds of wrong.

She is grieving the loss of her baby, she did what she thought was right having the abortion but just was not prepared for the emotional distress she would feel, she needs to talk things throught with a trained proffessional who will work with her on her issues and help her move on, the Brook advisory centre or local family planning, or her GP will all be able to arrange this for her.
It is not you that is making her miserable and once she sorts her head out she will be able to build a relationship with you.
Be patient as she sounds like she is worth waiting for and you sound like a really wonderful guy.
