So today, she texted asking for me to meet her late, so she could work more, money tight, and of course complained about it being that way. What is the best way to handle that, not make her mad or anything, but say something meaningful? I just try to validate, and move on.
I guess really it's the impatient part of me saying, "why are we continuing this path, if neither one of us is comfortable in it". And I know I can't just outright say that, but it's what I'm thinking. Just go back to being quiet, she has been texting more of late though. Last night texted about her final she was taking, and that she got an A in the class. I said the wrong thing probably, but told her I was proud of her, part of the validation I am trying, should have left that out. At least she is giving some feedback though, and I am not iniating anything. Still hard as heck to do, but forward we march.
