    "...a fourth (unspoken) reason may be that when wearing a kilt, you attract other women."

    No more calls, please. We have a winner.

    Brooster, I did see you're post about your wife talking with a therapist. Sounds like she's gotten to the root of the problem. But I had to point this fourth reason out. My wife has also been "tolerant" -- good word for it -- and is now discovering the attention I get from other women when we're out. I'm not so sure she's okay with it, but she hasn't said a word. Yet.

    And trust me: I'm nothing to write home about. I'm a little chubby guy, but when I've got m'kilt, I carry myself differently, and I think that kind of confidence gets noticed.

    Aye, I have noticed that as well. Since I changed businesses about four years ago I have been cultivating more relationships with people closer to our age bracket business wise, and socially, and at church. She has never been one to do much socializing, since kilting up, the attention I attract from members of the opposite sex probably has a lot to do with her "dissatisfaction".

    And yes she has been fighting her daemons as well, she's much better than she was a few weeks ago, but she's not back to her normal self, so I take almost every thing with a large grain of salt. We've been through this four times now, the first three wearing pants, so it's not the clothes. I am a firm believer in what does not kill you makes you stronger. We can and will weather this storm as well.
