I thought you said your back-up plan was to continue without her, because these are things you enjoy?
Yes, I did say that. I won't shut down the dancing, and I wouldn't expect her to either. I would have to decide what to do about the competition. If she won't compete with me, should I pursue a different partner? I would continue group lessons, monthly private lessons with the lady teacher, going to Salsa venues with my W, going to the weeknight ballroom venue by myself or with my W, practicing on my own.
As I'm writing I realize the question is, do I let her keep me out of dance competitions? Am I free to pursue another practice partner?
