Part of the issue may be that I am a complete extrovert, while my wife is a total introvert. My idea of the perfect dinner date is a table for two in the middle of Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras enjoying all the people and festivities going on around us. She would prefer a very quiet evening for two. Now I can tell you all we have done the latter many times, but have never enjoyed the former.

She realizes that I am who I am and handles the kilt wearing much better than when I first started wearing them. One of my son's even wears one from time to time. I don't buy her things, as that is not what she wants. I love when she wears nice things and gets compliments from others, but I don't get jealous and I know it makes her feel good.

The funny thing about the doctor or other people commenting on the kilt is that I don't even think I will get those reactions as it seems so random as to who will make a comment. The really interesting thing is that people at work don't even seem to notice the kilt anymore.

Bummer to hear about some of the limitations placed on other kilt wearers by their spouses. I certainly don't have those issues as I wear kilts whenever I want and makes me thankful and appreciative of my wife and her overall agreeable attitude towards my wearing of them.
