I've added free weights to my exercise repertoire. I've decided to stop by the weight room after swimming or a class. My W joined me yesterday for this. I'm now able to swim a lap in the outdoor pool doing the breaststroke. I'm getting stronger. My W and I go together to the fitness center most of the time.
I initiated a dance practice session last night and put more focus on learning the new steps we've learned this past month and the steps my W is learning in her lessons. It was an awkward practice session. My W's feedback is blunt, but helpful. She seems to have resentment about my GAL activity last year when I went dancing on my own. Her goal is to be able to dance every dance at a ballromm venue, so I want to partner with her on this, even thru the awkward, fussing phase.
I've compromised with my W and will return home in time to do my usual cooking task. I will cut the trip short by only a few hours-- it's reasonable. I don't expect her to support this trip, but visiting my parents 2X per year seems reasonable to me. I'm not asking her permission on this decision.
