DH wouldn't dance to our special song

Last night, at a bday party, our special song comes on. We are standing in a group, I look at DH with my most alluring face, say "our special song, let's dance", but he didn't respond. It was humiliating.

Has anyone else ever experienced such rejection and what do you think should do now?

Depends! Are we talking the Macarena or Let’s Get It On?

Perhaps it was "I Touch Myself".

Was it The thong song?

Does he usually dance in public? If not, he was probably embarrassed by the idea.

If he does normally dance, then announcing that the track was your special song might have embarrassed him - he probably thinks of that as a private thing between the 2 of you.

I think I would get an ick if my husband of 20 years wanted to dance 🙄

MumOfOneAllAlone · 23/11/2024 13:57

Aww op, you've made me laugh 😄🤭

Don't worry. As others have said, it sounds like you were drunk and he didn't want to do something embarrassing - I'd put on a pouting face and tell him how embarrassed you are x

What song was it? WAP?

After 25 years of marriage we dance in the kitchen all the time.
In front of other people- no fucking way we’d look ridiculous.
And if he did his ‘most alluring face’ I’d tell him to stop being a prat.

Actually snorted at this!

Did it look like this?

I got rejected like this once, but I only used my second most alluring face, so figured that was why.

This sounds like Mills and Boon material. You should have asked his ugly mate instead, who would reveal himself to not only be a superb dancer, but also hung like a mule, filthy rich and deeply attuned to your inner feelz.

TinyGingerCat · 23/11/2024 14:07

Please describe your alluring face OP - what did you think it was implying?

cantthinkofausername26 · 23/11/2024 14:08

Feeling some severe second hand embarrassment at the amount of people ripping the piss out of you Op!

May he was worried you were having a stroke! Did he look concerned, at least?

Crying!!!

I know you’re never going to show us your most alluring face (which is a shame, and against MN rules. It comes just under the one about parking diagrams) BUT at least tell us the song so we can imagine for ourselves.

My guess is Hot Stuff by Donna Summer

I wish I could have seen the face, I am imagining a lot of pouting.

Can you at least tell us what the special song is?

Amarige · 23/11/2024 14:12

Or maybe this is the special song -

Pouting and licking of lips

Purplecatshopaholic · 23/11/2024 14:13

We need to know what the song is. I’m going to assume you are joking, for your sake..

chargethecat · 23/11/2024 14:13

I actually burst out laughing reading this, and I’ve been grumpy all day.
