How much age difference in your case, if I may ask? (you don't have to say your age or hers, just about the difference in years, like about 10 or 20).

Living on my own doesn't make me smarter
it does make me wiser though, that's what I was getting at.
I'm 27, living on my own for 11 years, she's 24, living on her own (with me) for 11 months.
Hardly on her own I might add, a big jump for her going from parents to me, but still not quite independent.
Really though, if my gf was wiser or smarter etc I'd have no qualms letting her drive while I take a nap
I do admire her will to learn though!
And yes, confidence certainly isn't something I'm lacking, as bad a thing as that is.
