Jeeesh, the conclusions people jump to. He might just feel a little embarressed to dance and just doesn't want to, and was maybe having a bad day. Tell him you didnt like how he reacted or let it slide. you didnt do anythingw rong

Well...I won. My husband looked confused when I told him about the tickets and got mad at me saying I "Shouldn't be signing up for things without telling him about it." He's not sure he wants to go due to the dancing part, even though I assured him we could just hang out at our table, no one was going to force us to dance.
I feel kind of sad now because I thought it would be some romantic fun . I don't want to over-talk this issue with him, but am I missing something here? Is it ok to sign up for raffles without your spouse knowing?
What a downer...as my late Grandmother would say, sounds like this guy has a Corn Cob stuck up his rear.

If this is the only hiccup in 3 years I would cut the guy a LOT of slack.

He sounds very insecure. Sign up for counselling and have a roadmap to divorce him.

could be he was already having a bad day and there you go making him go dancing...if things are normally OK between you two, I would ask him when he's not stressed what was wrong and offer to not go and see what he says to that...

Sounds to me like your husband has some major control issues if he got mad because you bought raffle tickets without his permission.

I'm glad he's not my husband actually he would have never been my husband because I'm sure he was just as controlling when you were dating and I would have kicked him out of the moving vehicle a long time ago and well before any marriage took place.

I'm that way with dancing, but I would still go anyway. Its free and she won it, good enough for me. For one night I'll suffer with dancing as I know it would make her happy.

Why do I have the feeling this isn't the case.

I can't imagine why someone would be upset over this. It is not normal behavior.

Huh?
What kind of weird psycho behavior is this?
There is more to this story (on his side or yours).
Please elaborate.

This is not normal behavior, these are not normal expectations, and you need to see what's really bugging him.
