Wife jealous of the Kilt

[sydnie7]

Sounds like you're guessing at what she's thinking. Have you sat down and talked openly about it?

Ron's hit it on the head, IMHO.

FM, I was the one to introduce Bob to the kilt. But if I may relate your wife's reaction to something else. . . for example, if Bob suddenly started getting tattoos.

I really dislike tattoos, for reasons I won't go into here (no need to open that worm-can with all the tattooed folk on the board).

If Bob suddenly showed up with a large, visible piece of ink... and started going to ink shows... and spending time on an internet ink boad... and planning his next "purchase"... and people in public noticed his ink, and talked to him about it... and he spent more and more time and money on getting more and more visible ink... I can't imagine how I would react, or what I would do. It just might go along the lines of what you describe from your wife.

No suggestions or ideas, really. But there has been at least one other thoughtful thread on this board about a wife who just doesn't "get" the kilt, and how that couple agreed to deal with it. Maybe you've already seen it, heck, maybe you started that thread! but if not, have a look for it -- if memory serves, it provided a lot to think about.

I'll see if I can find and link it, or perhaps somebody else remembers the one I'm describing?
