So she was with this other man since she was 19, and she comes from a "broken home" and the only real relationship she was ever in failed. It seems reasonable that she'd be a little "gun-shy," whether it's logical or not. The only thing you can do is accept her concerns, listen to them, and don't try to change them. Her only models for relationships have turned out badly...it's going to take some time (longer than 2 months) for her to be able to see anything else in her future. Accept that she is attracted to you, but that she needs time to sort things out in her head. Take things as slowly as she wants - you're both young, and pushing right now will only set off warning sirens in her head.
