I always love to ask dancers this question, the question of when they realized they truly loved this amazing sport.
Tell us the moment where you felt that you truly loved ballroom.

When I first started taking lessons I fell in love. It wasn't long after that when I realized this my lifetime passion.

When I left the studio after my introductory lessons were over, it looked like I wouldn't be back. But then...imagining myself NOT returning to the studio, NOT continuing to learn to dance, made my chest feel tight, like I was being suffocated. I realized at that moment that I was already addicted!

It's a pretty common occurrence for me. It happens when I'm lost in the moment on the floor. I've forgotten about everything that's going on in my life and I'm just dancing with my partner and enjoying that interaction and the thoughts going through my mind as I'm dancing. And I must admit that I enjoy people watching me do that. Haha

You and me both ahah
I think my tale is similar to @ProgressNotPerfection's, though it took a while longer for the moment to happen.
A while back, my wife-and-dance-partner stopped dancing so she could focus 100% on her PhD. To my surprise, I found that I could not bear to quit. I kept going to classes and lessons solo, determined to grimly stick it out until she was done with her degree. Fortunately, my coach found another follower for me to work with after a little while, and our partnership has been wonderful and rewarding.
Better still, my wife returned to dancing a couple years later. I feel like I nailed the happily-ever-after jackpot.

Indeed! This was possible because your wife has the ability to dance and the willingness to practice. You are very lucky! Not everyone’s spouse/SO has even one of those traits, much less both.
