    Re: Wife jealous of the Kilt

    I am quite amused at the responses which placed the problem squarely on the victim's shoulders, assuming that the wife's intentions were all pure. Believe it or not, women do get jealous, and they are used to being the best dressed, and sometimes they do become unreasonable in their demands.

    Just like men!

    I'm willing to bet that he knows his wife pretty well and knows what she means. And I'll also bet he knows her better than just about anyone else-especially us.

    Like Forrestermodern, I choose to wear my kilt over my wife's objections when it's not to a "Scottish" function. It's a choice. She has readily admitted that she is jealous of the attention I get when kilted, so I have chosen to wear it whether she likes it or not. And . . .I have also chosen not to wear it sometimes when she objects. That also is a choice. It is a partnership after all. I may decide at any minute that I'll wear the kilt from now on whether she likes it, pouts, whines, complains, and generally acts grumpy. Or, I may not. But having to decide and argue about it does rub me a little the wrong way, so stay tuned. I will not, however, sell my stuff.

    I believe that some folks are unreasonable, illogical, and silly. That's what makes Life interesting.

    The nail on the head, Jim. I am very grateful that I don't have his problem and that I am surrounded by much more accepting folk of both genders. Respect is a two-way street, isn't it Ali?
