<human>: Hello friends of reddit!

I'm coming to you with a bit of confusion. My girlfriend and I are buying a house together in the coming months (we've found a house, and are putting a deposit down this week, won't close until probably August.) We're doing it for a million great reasons, and we're both super excited. 

That being said, to give you a liiiiiitle bit of background...My girl is 28, married a military guy young. They got bought a house, ended up getting divorced for various reasons. It was a battle doing many things, in reference to the divorce, particularly where related to the property. (Getting her off the mortgage and stuff.) None of it was the end of the world, and it worked out ok in the end. Of course though, it's soured her a bit.

Additionally, and I think this is the biggest thing, I've never owned a home, only rented apartments, and her one experience with owning a home was one where basically she did *everything* and could rely on one else for anything. I'm a **huge** helper, and she knows that, but I've never owned before. To add to that, I'm a SUPER laid back guy. I'm not lazy by any means, but during these past few months, she's been stressing a lot more than I have about the whole house thing. I think she's concerned because I never seem worried about it (We're both hard workers, and we're in love, so we're in as good a position to own a home as anyone's ever been) and she does tend to worry about (she's a worrier, had a bad experience, and my not worrying worries her more.)

What can I do to help her be more comfortable with what's going on? I don't want her worrying that I'm not taking it seriously, or that I won't be there to take care of things routinely, etc. I know I've never had a house and I don't technically know what I'm in for, but I am also very prepared to be doing a boat-load of work, and I want to help her accept that.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Buying a house w/ wifey, she's worried because I'm so laid back about it, probably thinks I'm being naive about the responsibilities and difficulties we'll face with home ownership. Looking for advice on easing her fears.
