Family objections to wearing your kilt

[ForresterModern]

I too would count myself in the "better choice made second time 'round" club, as I love and get along with my second wife far greater and better (respectively) than I ever did with my first (god rest her soul----if even god will have her). But unfortunately my new found interest in my heritage and kilts started after our marriage (number two) and she claims that had she known about it before we got married she probably would not even had been interested in me. I also find that strange----same guy no matter what I am wearing (and she has seen me naked, which would bring chills to most people's spines). Does the fact that I have new found interests make me that much of a different person than she married?

Ah, I think she is probably just givin ya the biz! I think, I hope, cooler minds prevail the second time around. I was my ex's second and she chose wisely that time. I got a reprieve and get to choose wisely yet again, or mayhaps not at all!

This one sounds familiar, TOO.
Still happy to be able to wear the kilt occasionally and pursue my heritage interests.

Regrettably, this sounds like the seeds of strife have been sown... Kilt wearing AFAIK requires a certain threshold of self-assurance in most of modern society; and, some people (with low self-esteem/self-confidence) are threatened by those who don't suffer as they do. That isn't so much a problem in and of itself, unless they are also irrationally opposed to confronting their foibles... which typically leads to hostility and resentment. You(pl.) have a rough row to hoe ahead of you; and, I hope that you and your mate are able to resolve your differences and personal issues while keeping your relationship strong and intact. Good luck!
