I don't know if they did on that show, but they did on "So You Think You Can Dance?". Didn't get to see it though. Go to YouTube.com and search for "Lindy Hop" -- you'll see some amazing stuff! Actually, if you can search for "Hellzapoppin'" (I believe) on YouTube, you'll see some of the greatest Lindy Stuff I've ever seen! It'll show you a clip from that movie -- it was made in 1941.
SD,
I couldn't agree with you more -- I'm not taking her back until she works on her own issues and makes what I believe are necessary changes in her if she wants to get back together with me. Right now I hear she's really mad at me (just heard it from our mutual friend). He said that she went out for a beer with his fiance last night and cried a lot, saying that life wasn't fair, that I had no right to do this, blah, blah, blah. Apparently she's pretty pissed off at me. She still doesn't get it -- can't accept her responsibility for where she is at, and I'm done worrying about it.
And I do agree -- "when" she breaks up with her BF (or vice versa). It's not going to last. She's there mostly out of convenience at this point, and I just made it more likely that she will stay with him for this. She's going to make herself miserable for a while before she sees the light, I think, and I can only sit back and allow her to hit rock bottom. I wouldn't take her back right now -- I think I even told her as much yesterday during the talk (but I can't remember, for sure).
Heim,
I know what you meant -- one never knows what can happen over these next 3 months, and I will keep an open mind (though I don't believe anything will change).
Nomo and OT,
I think I'm going to take your advice to not include any financial niceties into the D decree. I'll play it by ear, and if W treats me like dirt, crap, etc, she'll have to deal with how that affects me and my choices to help her in the future. I hate to sound conditional with my help, but I can't imagine wanting to help her when she treats me wrong and communicates negatively with me.
Kat,
I think W didn't get ugly because she new it would potentially cement my decision to take back the offer (because she obviously wasn't sure I would stick to my guns). I'm expecting her to be ugly here in the near future, but also expect for her to settle down again (and even by nice and friendly) as we get closer to the new D date, hoping this will change my mind. Not going to happen, though.
Yep, she's going to have to be on her own and fend for herself for a while before she'll even consider working on herself. Hope she gets the opportunity. I kind of feel sorry for her, despite how she is behaving.
