On this point I couldn't agree with you more.

However, I now am getting the impression that rather than your wife not 'liking' you to wear your kilts, she is in some way manipulating or controlling you in respect of them - even when she is not with you. If that is the case, then a different light is being thrown on the situation, and it seems to me that a compromise is called for.
I'm am not feeling like she is trying to controll me in the least. I'm sure a compromise will be reached in some form.

Were I in your position, I believe I would respect my wife's dislike of The Kilt and would not wear it when with her. When doing my own thing, however, I might feel I could don The Kilt and go about my business.

Och! It's very difficult for those not personally involved. Good luck, and
Hamish,

I'm glad we're comfortable enough with each other that we want to offer assistance as best we can. It goes to show that we care for each other greater than our choice of clothes.
