    My wife is quite confused with the kilted notion, but is dealing with it since I wear it regardless of her objections should I so choose to wear a kilt out and about.

    I told her it is a choice I choose to make, and that I have always fully supported her choices so why not support mine?

    This has brought her around a good bit, but there is still some work to be done 'round here.

    My wife likes me wearing a Kilt. She's not so keen on me squandering the children's inheritance in acquiring them, along with all the bits and bobs it takes to make them "just so" ... obsessive? Me?... Whaddya meeeeeaan? Hardly obsessive!

    But she's quite happy to be with me when I'm out and about and she frequently encourages me to wear them (She's also got a couple of Kilts of her own). She tells me she likes the air of confidence I seem to project and how I easily deal with the consternation of some people who are less than open minded.

    I am most fortunate in this respect I suppose. I think I would find it difficult to be so comfortable with myself if someone important to me was constantly chipping away by being continually disparaging about my appearance. Having a partner who is supportive really is a benefit and a boost. Lucky man me... I'm glad to see you are both following this adventure as a partnership.


    See? see? look... even mee wifey's got a Kilt on.
    (incidentally... Me in Bruce Modern and my Wife in 'The Australian' tartan. No she's not Australian, it's a long story.)
