A Dissapointing conversation

[Tattoo Bradley]

Keep your chin up buddy. A lot of guys on here (myself included) have had resistence from the Mrs. My story sounds a lot like yours. She made the statement "it would be like me wanting to wear a ballroom gown out and about..." Um, no. I explained to her it was not the same, and that I wouldn't be wearing a Prince Charlie and bowtie out and about. She's still not thrilled about the heavy kilting. (I can't full time due to safety reasons at work.) In fact, I think she would rather I forget all this "kilt nonsense" and go back to trousers. I've been known to get really into something and then lose interst as quickly as I found it. Sort of flashes in the pan so-to-speak. But, she knows how adiment I am about my heritage. So, if she hasn't figured it out yet, she will: the kilts are here to stay. After some jokes and negative comments, I simply told her that if she was going to act that way to just keep quiet. She agreed and requested me to not talk to her about the new tartan I found, or a "great" sporran I ran across. Fair enough. She'll come around. She always does. I can't speak for your fiance. But, this has worked me and my Mrs.

Oh, and she's known as "... married to the tattooed guy who wears the KILT..." I'm not sure what her displacement is on that.
