Partners & the Perils of Pauline

[DancingMommy]

Ok so it really isn't about the Perils of Pauline, but I needed a catchy title...

When one is in a seriously committed partnership (read romantic AND dancing), and one's goals are different from one's partner, how do you reconcile that?

Here's my quandary... Hubby is a self-proclaimed, yet insecure, anti-social dance snob. I OTOH enjoy dancing for the heck of it. Maybe I'm being a wee bit harsh, but we are about as far apart in our dancing goals as we are locality growing up as kids (polar opposites :!: ).

For those of you who have SOs who also happen to be your partner ON the floor, how do you deal?

Fooled me with the title. :)

So you and your SO were born at the North and South poles? ;)

(It's early, and I all ready being silly!)

[DancingMommy]

I was born above the equator in North America & he was born below the equator in SE Asia, lol!

Hmmm ... interesting, I'm beginning to wonder if I know who you are.

The Doctor is in, just lay down on the couch and relax. What exactly is the problem ? Need more info. :|

My hubby is a WCS dancer and I'm a ballroom dancer. He loathes social dancing and I love it. So, I go without him. He smokes cigars. It works well.

Am I missing something? Cigars? :roll: :lol:

On a more serious note, I think there are a few couples in DF who might be able to shed some ligt, DM. There might be an older thread with some discussion,too. I just have to remember what it was called. *mild panic* :lol:
