It seems like we're struggling to work-out our relational issues thru the dance partnership. I feel satisfied, that I said what I needed to say, instead of keeping some things to myself.
I am proud of you for speaking up, CL.
I worry a bit, though, about your wife's expectations and lack of appreciation for your time and effort. She has had trouble keeping a dance partner, hasn't she? I hope that your dance partnership will continue to improve your marital relationship, but be careful that you are not setting yourself up for failure.
