I only suggested the safety pilot as Van indicated his lack of experience and a possible P2.
This maybe behind the exes concerns! Wives current or exes tend to know their husbands their weaknesses too
Hence they tend to be less confident being flown by their own than by a total stranger who may be a far worse pilot.
To get the ball rolling it could be diplomatic to add the P2 as a stepping stone to solo flights.
