It's always worth ensuring that you are talking in plain English about your flying.

When I first started, my flying lesson stories quickly became filled with aviation acronyms and jargon. The one that stumped my boyfriend quite early was referring to aircraft by the last two letters of the regn.

"who the F***'s Mike Whiskey? Is he a new instructor?"

That said, being supportive of your other (potentially equally "boring") hobbies, but not this one does suggest something is bothering her. Why not have a chat?

My other half's top three concerns are along the lines of (1) she's gonna kill herself (2) it's incredibly expensive and (3) has her PPL led to anything remotely useful yet? Nope.
