You probably already know this, but if she is the typical women, she wants to talk about her fears with you, but does not want any solutions. This is something I have to learn better, that women like to talk about things, but are not normally looking for a solution, they are looking for empathy. They want us to understand their plights, while not really trying to give them advice on how to handle it. Even encouragment is not always wanted. The want us to UNDERSTAND their feelings. (This is hard for guys).
