If the husband does his extra practice in the studio with others present, not one on one in another woman's home, there should be no problem for the wife.
If the wife really has an issue with her husband dancing with anyone else period, then she better put on her dancing shoes
This is probably the best compromise. Most dance classes are women-heavy, so an extra guy would probably be welcome.
Then he can just practice with his wife when she's up for it. He'll still get better, and his wife won't have to say "Okay, dance with her instead" when she's really not comfortable with the idea. Everyone wins
Or he can practice any time he wants, with whomever he wants - and not worry about his wifes' immaturity, insecurity and jelousy. Thats wehat a man would do, anyway.

Well that's what a man does who really doesn't care about his wife feels.

That's not an answer
A marriage is a team - a partnership.
The two people involved have to come up with a way for them to each get what they need.
There is a way to navigate this situation, they just have to do some negotiation

Absolutely, he can do whatever he wants! But I think the couple asked the OP for their take on it specifically because they'd rather handle it the best way possible. You know, some married couples want to stay together; go figure... And we're talking about a guy who's worried about what others think of his dancing. Are you sure you want to introduce the phrase "real man" here?
And the same labels could be thrown at him (minus the "lejousy"/"jealousy"). Simple solutions abound. But no matter how we all choose to see it, this is merely a question of whose comfort should come first. I believe in putting the relationship itself first. Therefore, I'd rather deal with insecurity about what outsiders think of my dancing, than make the woman I'm with uncomfortable.
I find that hard to believe. In fact, I think it's gotta be closer to 50/50, those who would feel comfortable dancing/letting their SO dance with someone else vs. those who wouldn't want to do/allow it.
You're wrong. I ballroom dance. EVERYONE dances with others. EVERYone. Every man who is part of a couple dances with women who are not his mate. Every woman who is part of a couple dances with men who are not her mate. That's how you do it in ballroom. Couples who who refuse to "mingle" are the rare exception.
Aw, c'mon now. How many times have we read articles about how whirlwind romances are shattered because someone's genitalia slips into another's during one of those lascivious ballroom orgies. It's stuff of which tragedies are written and movies made...
LOL! Yep, why just last Friday, I was doing a foxtrot and next thing you know, I had a **** in my ****. I hate it when that happens.
Just curious to know Ascension......are you married?
he11 no, but you have probably figured it out by now. Here is the thing, we can specualte all we want on why the wife doesnt want to practice with her husband but the only given is that she isnt willing. The problem that sticks out, is her insecurity and nothing else.
