I think there really is a bit of the peacock in all of us. And that's OK. At least my ex-wife ws OK with it and enjoyed guys in kilts.

But now, . . . well, that another story for another day.

I really doubt you'll ever get out of this one. People just don't change that type of thinking very often. So, I'd say you need to figure out a relatively happy medium with your wife. Of course she's prettier of course she turns heads, of course she really does get the attention. But in her mind, it's not so. And her perception of reality is her reality.

So doll her up, take her out, and try to figure out how to wear your kilt without making a big fuss. It's really not a big deal to any of us, but it apparently is to her. Better figure out how to deal with it now.

God love 'em. Can't live with 'em, and can't kill 'em.
