new chapter with strange WAW

[futureunknown]

I think it's healthy for her to want a hobby that is hers.

Ask her "how can I help you with that?" Let her ask you to join her in it. Maybe pick up a magazine about hiking and give it to her, "I saw this and thought of you." Be her partner, stand at her side on this.

That was my first reaction. I do care about her, and I want her to be happy. And most of all, I AGREE with everything she said!

however, I disagree on the part of asking how can I help and giving her hiking stuff. (Sorry Coach)

I agree with Soxfan2008. I need to support her from a distance. This is something she needs to do on her own. She'll seek me out for what she wants from me. I should just not ALWAYS be available, and I won't be.

It also sounds like she's DBing

She is, finally, and it's great to see.
