My W made plans to attend the dinner with someone else. She had told me a week ago that we wouldn't be going together. I am disappointed, but am thankful that she is honest that she is not ready to have dinner with me. A Valentine's dinner may be too much pressure for both of us.
I did get her flowers, so am happy with my effort at goodwill. She hasn't said anything, but that's OK. I wanted her to have flowers for Valentine's Day.
She did ask me to resume dance practice with her. I have an open invitation to practice. I simply need to ask. I've been told to be on very good behavior.
I'll plan on going out dancing later this evening to the same venue she will be going to, and will plan on dancing with her. We were out dancing earlier this week so expect that she will dance with me.
I found out that she has joined a Spanish translation group, that meets twice per month. I'm glad to see her moving forward with her Spanish skill development.
I was out practicing ballroom dances last night at a studio venue. I got to dance with some ladies who are always happy to see me (including one who's husband gets to take a break), and expand my network.
I'm forced to ask new ladies to dance, when my W isn't there, so it's good for me to go solo, and take responsiblity for developing my own skills, and network. I can focus on practicing, and not have to worry about whether or not my W is having a good time or not.
I couldn't find a thread for you, Naej. I'd be happy to keep up with your situation.
