Jak, Matilda, Aud, Doc, and DB Friends, Our Puerto Rico trip is drawing near. I picked-up a AAA travel guide and have been studying it to plan an intinerary. My strength for putting some structure into the trip will be of assistance to her.
We've been out dancing twice in the past week. I'm enjoying my return to the Salsa community. I still want to devote time to ballroom dancing and lessons. I would get bored doing strictly Salsa. I have a desire to dance and practice the other Latin dances and Waltz. My W sat on my lap at one of our venues. A picture was taken of my W, myself, and a lady who enjoys dancing with me. In the picture, the lady's head is practically on my shoulder, while my W is in the distance.
My W wants to begin Salsa lessons at a studio where her Salsa friends practice. I told her I would go only if she goes. I already take a ballroom lesson per week at our home studio (which I'm hoping she'll join me for). It takes a lot of effort to learn a dance combination, and I'm not going to a second class by myself.
My W said she thought my family treated her differently over the holidays. She said that she put an effort into trying to have a nice time with them.
I've been making an effort to sleep in the main bedroom with her. I go to sleep in the guest room, and in the middle of the night join her. She doesn't go to sleep when I do. The guest room is more sound proof, so the television doesn't bother me.
Any complaints or concerns I have at this time are minor. I get frustrated with her lack of consistency in taking lessons. I need to not expect her to meet all my dance needs. I know we will have to turn the intimacy corner at some point.
