Doc, You're right, she did apologize after she calmed down. She wan't making any sense in the car. She's been after me for years to be a ballroom dancer, and now that I'm one, it's not good enough. Of course, her comments are not about me, but her failure to look in the mirror and articulate her thoughts and feelings.
I have enough of a network of dancers that her whims don't affect me. She can join me to the extent she wants. In some ways, it's good to have my own space, other practice partners, and venues without her.
There are probably several reasons as to why she did not enjoy herself last night (none of them having anything to do with me.) She doesn't like having to be a beginner again, and doesn't like sitting because she doesn't know a dance, or sitting because she hasn't developed a network in the ballroom community.
We'll get back to practicing the Hustle Formation group. This is an opportunity for me to learn a dance I probably wouldn't pursue on my own.
