Partnership

It's gotten to a point where she criticize every move I make. That we can't even complete one sequence without stopping in the middle to fight.

It's not the fighting that bothered me because fighting only happens when I can't take her attitude anymore. Her exaggerated body motion is constantly there and out in the open for everyone to see at the studio. She seemed to have forgotten what she asked of me herself. That we are to behave and pretend we are in perfect harmony with each other at the studio.

She sighs loudly and throws my hand away. Her exaggerated expression of pain when she dances with me. I told her that it's not such a big deal and she doesn't have to act that way… It didn't work.

So I tried some of her reaction back at her and she goes silent for a while. I am beginning to suspect that she just want me to whip her. That I have to go back to how I used to be, criticizing her every moment.

This is what I am not getting. I try to be civilized and ask her to stop certain things. I also try very hard not to criticize her. It just brings more anger out of her. So I become an asshole and treat her like shit for a while and she become this obedient silent girl. Yet she demands me to treat her like a nice person so that our dancing can progress with the positive reinforcemnts.

Does this make any sense to you?

What's getting bad though is the constant last minute scheduling of a lesson and telling me the day of. As well as the last minute vacation plan with only 12 hours of warning. Maybe she's forcing me to dump her because she's not good at saying things like that.
