Yeah, my first and biggest mistake was buying 2 tickets. And I should have known better. But since this was my first "hafla", I asked the teacher if I should come alone or bring him, and she said "definitiely, bring him." Shouldn't have listened.
Rob, nice of you to try to put yourself in his shoes. But you have to understand that we have been married for almost 30 years, and he's been dragged to all kinds of dance events -- ballet, modern, jazz, mime, and now bellydance all those years. And a lot of it has been awful. When my daughter was younger she would go with me, and people said they didn't know I had a husband. But now she's off at college, and it was a Saturday night. The one night of the week that we go out. So that's why I took him. But I won't take him again. And I don't think even I will go again, although I do like to be supportive of my teacher.
He's off riding his new bicycle. When he comes home, I will apologize for taking him. He'll get over it. I thought he went home and was watching the b-ball on tv when he was gone last night. But he said he spent most of the night in the car in the parking lot. I don't know why, we weren't 5 miles from the house. I don't know why he wouldn't have driven home and watched the games. I'm sure missing the b-ball is part of the reason he is angry.
