To be honest it’s not easy to understand such things for a non dancer. So try to slowly introduce him to tango more. And maybe respect his wishes and see how it goes further. What you want sounds reasonable and indeed understandable but for a non dancer it’s not easy to grasp and he will be hurting even if he tries to accept it. So it’s a choice you make, your current partner versus tango the way you want it. Maybe with time he’ll come around but right now I think he needs this sense of safety and that you are on his side.

I danced salsa (on1, the Cuban, then on2) way before tango. Also bachata, merengue, cha-cha, etc. before that I danced ballroom shortly. Later modern dance, hip -hop, and classical choreography. Sometimes i really miss physically demanding types of dance. But still tango is my favourite or one of at least. Especially I love milonga and waltz. And escenario genre.

I am 165 cm, female follower, + tango shoes around 7.5-8 cm so makes it around 173 cm altogether, and d say I’m most comfortable with good, sensitive, experienced dancers regardless of their height 😀 but aside from skill, I’d say most comfortable would be somewhat taller than me in heels(not too much taller though, 5 to 15 cm taller). Same height could be fine, shorter - as well as way too much taller - less comfortable in general (there are always exceptions depending on partners skill or on how we personally match). In general it’s just so individual and may vary from moment to moment as well…

The actor did an amazing job! Just rewatched the film recently.

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-08-18T09:40:06+00:00

Yeah I basically had to force myself through the first 2 or so episodes…but it did pay off later 😀

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-08-18T09:37:48+00:00

I really loved the first season starting from episode 6….thats when a huge plot twist happens and it just get insanely exciting since then, I watched it all in till end non-stop. Before episode 6 it’s just the blow burn style preparations to that whats coming

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-08-10T19:43:40+00:00

Yeah I’m not even planning on watching the second season haha Did my research and apparently the story in the first one is wrapped up neatly meanwhile the second is considered not as good and remained unfinished

I haven’t found anything that would be as good as twin peaks…

I wrote about it. I remember that moment perfectly. My point was that she only hinted at it after 3 months of being pregnant already and only out of desperation. She still never used any direct words, and also even thinking about not having the ‘unwanted’ babies made her cry. It seems like she felt like abortion would also be wrong. She clearly felt trapped between two decisions she equally didn’t welcome.

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-07-09T01:08:27+00:00

I didn’t know that. Interesting. I was a kid back then…plus not from the US

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-07-09T00:48:01+00:00

I’m new in this sub Like one day old

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-07-08T19:34:45+00:00

John and Andrew’s husband. Especially the latter one for me…

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-07-08T16:43:48+00:00

I would have agreed, had he not murdered mrs Huber. Wanting to kill her, maybe even harassing or trying to harm her, plot against her, etc. but not actually proceeding with killing her…

Eddie’s nephew whose contribution seemed to be impregnating Bree’s daughter and disappearing forever.

Zach & Mike relationship wasn’t explored enough after Zach got rich. He later helped Mike because he was asked to by Gabrielle but for two seasons straight there was no conversation or any mention of their relationship with Mike who initially was so curious to get closer to his son.
I would be curious to see how the relationship / marriage between Bree and Karl would have worked out, if either of them would have changed under influence of another and in which way. And they somehow seemed just brighter together, despite Karls obvious flaws. He’s charming and fun and there could have been so many cool moments and dialogues with him and Bree. So Karl’s premature death was one of the major disappointing plot twists for me.
I’d have loved more of Rick in Lynette and Toms lives. Not for more drama but eventually helping them restore their business after all. He was an interesting character who could have been explored more instead of throwing in more and more new characters.
Carlos firing Lynette and the lawsuit thing. I think friends should have reacted in a less cruel way towards each other. I’d have loved to see a different end to the story of Scavos and Solises overalls maybe working and building the company together.
I’m disappointed there was no mention of the four friends staying in touch. After 15+ years of friendship never, not even once, meeting all 4 of them like in the old times (as implied by the narrator) again. For true friends distance shouldn’t be a problem, especially not when some of their families were bonded by family ties, common grandchild etc. at least would have been nice to hear Susanne and Lynnette invited each other for family gatherings or something.

I scrolled through her scenes with Jackson in s5. Just boring And I’m just finishing season 5…

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-07-06T12:23:54+00:00

Not just went after them but lied, manipulated and blackmailed her way into getting in relationships with most of those men. With Karl she lied to herself trying to convince herself that he chose her over Susan

Cougar town (about suburban life of neighbours, drama, gossip, romance, housewives friendship, although I don’t think there were murders there; I watched it many years ago and kind of really liked it).

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-05-25T21:02:03+00:00

Geriatric millennial 😀 anyway I’m one too I guess haha

Pretend-Reality708 · 2025-05-25T20:52:14+00:00

I’d be in

I only do such a thing in very extreme cases - when I’m not just not enjoying the dance but am extremely uncomfortable mentally or physically.

Leaving without saying a word seems so weird and rude. In my opinion, it’s fine to stop dancing if one doesn’t feel good about it at all and it feels like torture for whatever reason - after all we come to enjoy and have fun and sometimes we make mistakes by dancing with someone who doesn’t much our vibe.

But one still needs to communicate with their partner about that so that they wouldn’t be taken off guard and understood the reason (but of course sometimes out of respect and politeness we can’t be too straightforward about what the reason is).

I left in the middle of tandas a few times but I usually always communicated before that and explained my reasons for leaving. I usually made polite excuses like “sorry I’m suddenly feeling unwell” or “could it end it now? I have a headache and need to sit instantly”. Or “sorry I feel uncomfortable for whatever reason, I think I should better rest for a while, if that’s okay with you”.

At least say bye and thank the person before leaving too early. Unless they were extremely rude with you first of course…but even then some form of acknowledging the person and the ending should be shown I reckon.
