DH wouldn't dance to our special song

[marmitesarnies]

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?

Well obviously this is grounds for divorce 😂😂

It's the end of days.
Into your nuclear bunker, everyone

Wow can't believe how nasty the responses are. You have every right to be upset and I would be gutted if my husband rejected me publicly even if was pissed and embarrassing he loves me and never hesitates to show it. That's what you deserve 💐

Schpecial dance for a schpecial shong

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

@Fluffywabbits 🤣🤣🤣

Did you use words to accompany the face?

Thank god (for us and you) you've posted this on an anonymous forum instead of asking people in real life.

Just out of interest, what occasion would you break out your second most alluring face for?

My DP does this, the our special song thing. It's hideous. He's usually drunk and he can't dance. It's possibly the most embarrassing part of my life. More embarrassing than the time I walked round Tesco with my frock tucked in my knickers. People look at me pityingly.

I mean the "alluring face" bit.

Well I'd certainly never unironically describe myself as alluring, anyway...

LTB!

I NEEEEED to see your most alluring face @marmitesarnies - pleeeeassseee! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not everyone wants to dance to Agadoo, push pineapple, shake the tree... you've got to be in the mood to do the actions, honest.

Was it "The Final Countdown"? For some reason my DH got it in his head this was our special song. It really wasn't.

There is a wonderful country song (and I don't even like country) which has the line "you gotta dance like nobody's watching, / Love like you'll never be hurt." It is actually a kind of covert mantra for me. And a gentleman doesn't snub a lady in public; he might courteously get out of dancing with her (and obviously if the song itself is a bit risque there are other issues). But I am smugly glad to say that my partner (and we are both OLD) would still dance to "Burning Down the House" with me, without even being asked (for you babes in arms out there, the song is by Talking Heads).

Was he aware that you were making an alluring face? Maybe he thought it was just a bit of trapped wind.

6th form disco 🤣🤣

Do you ever think there should be an additional voting button on AIBU
the "this has got to be a wind up button"

Ha ha thanks for your engagement - I have had proper laugh reading replies in my hungover state on sofa! 😂

Was just a light-hearted post, the legend that is Sarah Hadland / Stevie was indeed my inspiration for the "allure"!

Do regular married/partnered people dance in public?

I mean around your house like no ones watching maybe or as a mating ritual in a club when young but I don't think I have ever really seen an older established couple dance in public (even weddings its just an awkward sway normally).

If you thought your face was alluring there is a very strong possibility that it was the exact opposite. I am picturing Nadine Dorries style love sick gurning at Boris Johnson

This
U R overthinking OP

You got it!

That was the response I was hoping for - at last someone who can see the severity of the crime!

😂

Make sure you take him to the cleaners OP!
