So now I'm a Peacock!

Although she apparently has nothing to worry about, a fourth (unspoken) reason may be that when wearing a kilt, you attract other women.

Now where's me Peacock feathered cloak?

Sean Connery still has it

You don't need a cloak- you need a bonnet with a feather in it.

Cool. I never knew a peacock that wore kilts. Now I do. Awesome ! Ladies do get jealous at times. Just always remind her how beautiful she is, how much you love her, and how lucky you are to have such a wonderful woman that puts up with all the crazy stuff you do. Although you do try to look your best for them, a man can never outshine their Lady!

Aye, guilty, but......when I am walking out in my very best feathers with my lady beside me I can hear the muted clicking of claws on the pavement, and see that quiet look saying "This is MINE approach it at your peril". Do I "outshine" my wife, maybe, is my kilted finery a spotlight on her beauty? Bloody damn right it is!!!!!!!!!!! is this a bad place not at all! I can live with that!

BroosterB1,

My wife has had a similar reaction to my kilts. In my case, this has been going on for a year and a half. It's not going away, but I have been respectful of her feelings and do my best not to embarrass her with some folks.

Recently, while I was away for an extended period, she sought counseling and they determined that her "ick" feelings and so forth were related to her own self-esteem. She is now doing things to enhance her own self-esteem and has given my an all clear on kilts.

Something to think about -----

My wife says I am a peacock too. I am fortunate in that my wife has always liked my kilts and likes me to wear them. She even asked me to wear my kilt for our open house at Christmas. However, she has commented that she wishes there was more Scottish attire for women. She has not been able to find a tartan skirt that she likes. She does have a sash in her tartan and has 3 large velvet Scottish bonnets with feathers. Perhaps getting your wife something to go along with your kilts might make her happier with you wearing them.

Well if your wife says you are a peacock she will just have to treat you to a kilt in the Peacock tartan:-

At first I thought this was going to be about Captain Peacock on "Are You Being Served?" (please, no jokes about Mrs. Slocum)

You might mention to your lovely spouse that your tired of men always looking at her and decided to wear the kilt to draw unwanted attention away from her, because yes, you ARE jealous and you cherish her so much that you want to be the ONLY one beholding her radiance.

It's worth a try, at least, even if she doesn't fall for it.

Any woman with any sense will see right through that. I'd just say that I'm tired of wearing jeans like my 13 year old daughter, and wanted to wear something manly for a change. The Roman Legions conquered the entire known world wearing skirts. And then ask her why it's OK for her to wear pants, but a problem for you to wear a kilt. I was once told that pants are for men and that I should be wearing that. I looked at the guys girlfriend and said "I'm sorry, sir, I mistook you for a woman- but you are obviously a man, since you're dressed like one." And I walked away to the sound of a cackling woman and slackjawed man.
