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?

Who dances these days?

What was the song and what was the face? We need to know 😆

Is 'your' song Caught Out There by Kelis?

If it was your anniversary party it would be out of order. Although I'd be put out, you have to realise the context if a conversation at a party was going on, he was literally busy enjoying the party. He's probably not even aware it upset you.

Alluring face. Practically wetting myself laughing.

Who decided it’s your ‘special song’? Not everyone wants or feels like they have a specific special song. Is it genuinely as ‘special’ to him as it is to you? Also, does he like dancing in public? If he hates dancing in public than the song that’s playing probably isn’t going to matter, he’s not going to want to dance.

I'm cringing on behalf of your DH 😳

JackJarvisEsq · 23/11/2024 14:21

If it was the Hokey Cokey then he’s being very unreasonable

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

Are you still drunk?

I think I’m being alluring sometimes. The reality is I look like this.

Is that what happened here?

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

Your second hand embarassment is misplaced!

Making a new Spotify list with all the alluring songs on this thread! Not sure yet what to call it.

Oh I'm pretty sure he's been made well aware!!

Our special song is Moon River which shows how old we are!

I can't remember ever dancing to it.... (maybe once?)

We just grin at each other if it comes on

Excellent!

I have . And it turned out he wouldn’t dance to “our song” because he was having an affair and felt guilty. Hopefully in your case he just didn’t want to dance in front of friends
