Dance lesson was a lot of fun last night. Got home and made dinner, was doing dishes when she came home. She asked why I was eating so late, told her I had gone out after work. She pressed me and I said it was a dance lesson and it was a lot of fun (it was, and I was obviously happy about it). She asked why I was doing it. I said I had always told her I wanted to, I'm not sure why I didn't do it sooner, and went back to washing the dishes.

It's true that I've always wanted to learn to dance, I really do enjoy it. I'm too self conscious sometimes, and being bad at it for a while is intimidating. I find I'm much happier though doing things that make me uncomfortable and stretch me, it's just hard to overcome the initial self doubt.

It seems like the happier I am about something (martial arts class, dance lessons) the more sad she is. She's gotten more and more distant and cold, which is strange because right up until I started my GAL we were at least friendly and warm to each other. I know I shouldn't read into it, and am not going to change what I'm doing. It just hurts.
