Parent/family Dances

I've posted about father daughter dances before.

I am not doing any parental dances. I have a weird relationship with my dad. And I just won't feel comfortable with it. I've hugged my father maybe 2 times in the past 10 years.
I'm dreading the other side of the family asking about us doing family dances. My fiance doesn't particularly care about doing them. He has his mom and step. And they would both want to do a dance. It would just feel awkward, especially since there will be no father daughter dance. I just dread them being upset. Has anyone experienced a family member have a negative reaction to this?

I'm confused.. Are you saying because you don't want a father/daughter dance, you are vetoing mother/son dance(s)? I think this is a decision you need to leave to your FH and his mom(s?) You made your decision about your dances, let him make his.

I plan to dance with my mother and I know my FH will not dance with his. I don't see anything awkward about it, and him not having any dances definitely doesn't add any awkwardness.

He isnt super interested in it. We have talked about it. Its not a decision I am making alone or lightly.
And I wouldn't want his step mom to feel left out. And I feel as though it would really interrupt the flow. Here's a mother son dance...and here's a second mother son dance.

FH and I are discarding parent dances as well. He doesn't have a much of a relationship with his mother and it kills him thinking to have to spend even 5 seconds in the same room let along dancing together. I had the same thought as you though. Since he doesn't want to do his dance, even though I have a good relationship with my dad, I have discarded my parent dance as well. He understood but I'm still incorporating him elsewhere to kind of make up for it. If you both feel you don't want to do it, then it would be best to just not have either of them.

Just say you aren't doing them.
They can be upset, but "no" is a complete sentence. Your FH can explain, privately, if he would like, but it's totally enough to say no.
