    Re: Fighting objections from the wife

    Watson42 and sydnie7: you are both wonderful women and a credit to your sex. ForresterModern and I have similar situations and stories except that I was wearing kilts whenever I darn well pleased when I met my wife. She knew I often wore kilts for no reason other than "I feel like it" when she married me.

    But then, all women marry men hoping they'll change, and all men marry women hoping they won't. Both are disappointed.

    You'll have to figure it out for yourself. I don't wear mine as often as a concession to nagging and whining and bi..., uh, complaining. But I do wear it if I really want to. I was sleeping alone long before we met.

    Jim, you are a man after my own heart (wait a minute, you already have someone else's-- ;) ). This is a line I have been espousing for the last 25-30 years and found it to be true in my own relationships and those of so many of my good friends. Sometimes, however, even when they do occur, the changes a woman recieves from her man are not exactly as they might have expected or hoped for.
