Fighting objections from the wife

[Mark Stephenson]

Forgive me if I missed it, but did you mention whether or not you are of Scottish heritage? If so, that heritage might be a useful angle (although it has not worked for Jeff). Still, I would think that by starting out attending events where others are kilted might be useful. There are a couple of Highland games in Michigan that draw very, very large crouwds. They are a lot of fun, whether or not you are kilted. Try going to some of these (either kilted or unkilted), and just have a good time. This might open some doors. If you are of Scottish heritage, try showing your wife some of the threads here that have photos of men with their kids. Good luck.

I feel for your dilemma. I am lucky in that my Wee Lass has never had a problem with me wearing a kilt, in fact she encourages it. I now wear it every night after work, it feels so comfortable and almost all the time if we go out. She loves it when other women remark on the kilt and she says it makes her fell special that I chose her to be my life partner. I can not think of a time I have gone out kilted where I did not get a nice comment from a woman. It dose make one walk taller, more confident and more eager to face life.
I wish you well in your quest for approval from her however at the end of the day it is more important to build a loving and trusting relationship together. A kilt is after all just a piece of clothing, albeit the most comfortable piece of clothing that any man could wear.

Good luck my friend.
