    Kilt wearing accepted?

    Is your wife or S.O. in favor of you wearing a kilt?

    My wife is not a fan. After a year of wearing kilts almost 50% of the time, she's used to it now but still not a fan.

    I tend to associate with people whom are mostly in accordance with my fundamental human values. I am a "freed" man. Freed from the thought police. Freed from the tyrannies of other's condemnations, condescensions, constipations, consternations, contemplations and all the other cons nonsense.

    I marked yes... but it was in fact not always so. In the beginning she found it acceptable for highland games, holidays, upscale restaurants, etc. but not for daily attire. With much discussion, several kilt/pub nights, persistence, and will power, she has pretty much come to accept it. Sharing with her some of the fun that goes on at Xmarks has also helped turn her around. I now wear kits wherever I choose to do so.... but I have agreed not to wear kilts to her office. Also I do not typically wear kilts during the week.

    It's been an evolution of sorts.

    My wife & I are a good example of opposite attraction. Because she tends to be shy & conservative, she'd prefer me not wearing kilts because of the attention it gets. That's still her opinion even after 3 yrs of my regular kilt wearing. We also respect each others preferences & quirks, so she doesn't give me any grief about wearing kilts, though. That's just another reason why we're closing in on 30 happy years together.

    Absolutely. She thinks it looks better than the ragged jeans I wore before.

    Yes partly ...

    I voted "Yes" because she does approve of my wearing a kilt for dancing and formal occasions but she is still to be convinced that I should be wearing kilts for everyday things. I'm working on it, taking it gently. Maybe I will persuade her some day.
