Or... there could literally be nothing for her to say about the last seven years, after her divorce and before she met you.

I was single for a decade before I met my fiance. Yeah, I went to school and stuff, but there's nothing to say on the relationship front because I didn't HAVE any relationships at that time. Not even one night stands. I was celibate.

She might want to rush into marriage because she's tired of being lonely. Which, yes, isn't smart. Unlike LW's gal, my fiance and I took our time letting our relationship evolve (a year and a half before getting engaged), with both of us checking in on ourselves that we're maintaining our mental health.

Broach the subject with her gently. She might feel embarrassed about her time alone, because our society treats celibacy (ie. lack of sexual experiences over a long period of time) as somehow "freakish". She might very well be worried that your perception of her will change because of it, that you'll think of her as cold and unfeeling because she wasn't hopping into someone's bed.
