I've done a lot of this GAL stuff in the last couple of years - ice skating, aerobics, guitar playing - and it does improve your life but I don't find it does much to improve your relationship. The main problem is that I'd like to GAL with my W such as learn ballroom dancing or salsa - something that we can spend time learning together but she just isn't interested and comes up with weak excuses. Yes I could go to ballroom dancing on my own but it just doesn't seem right to have to dance with strangers. Maybe I should book us a course without her prior knowledge but it seems selfish to force her into it and besides it would make her very cross. SD
