Wife dropped the bomb; doing in house separation

[HopeTex]

RockJC Fortunately I live in Texas, so here the Romans 2-step!

I have always enjoyed country music and going to hear good live country music. And it has always been a real point of frustration for me that I never learned to two-step. My wife went to a college in rural Texas so she learned to two-step pretty well. Occasionally after a few drinks I can get out there and fake it and dance with her, but it always feels awkward and embarrassing. The other night I was on a business trip and we needed up at a country bar with a great band and a great crowd of dancers. And t really pi$$ed me off that I don't know how to dance!

A couple years ago I went and took several private lessons, as a surprise for W. I learned a little bit. I then invited he to a lesson with me and she was impressed and pleased with the effort I put into it. But then we just never followed thru with it, never made time to go dancing, etc. and I stopped doing the lessons.

So I plan to pick up the lessons again soon and stick with it. Hopefully if things improve in our M I can dance with W. If things don't work out I still want to be able to dance.

I mentioned to W the other day that I was thinking about scuba lessons. She seemed kind of surprised. "What made you think of that? I thought you said a long time ago that you weren't interested in doing scuba? You know, I am certified and used to do scuba [before we met] right?"

I don't want to mind read, but she seemed surprised about the scuba, and i think she will about the dance lessons too. She probably views me (for good reason) as stuck in my ways and not interested in trying new things, especially things I am not already good at.

So scuba and dancing might double-count as both GAL and 180's.
