Could be! However, when she becomes inquisitive about your life, I think she'll start asking questions about your GAL activities.
To me, it sounds like she is wanting you to be curious/interested in what she is discussing..........whether it's about her or something else.
Depending on the length of time the couple has been apart and if there is a third party involved, as to whether the H can slowly contribute to the conversations. And of course, if she is wayward, her attitude and level of respect should be a gauging meter for him.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
