Wife jealous of the Kilt

[ForresterModern]

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.

I have a suggestion that may help with this. Set up a date night for once a week or once every couple weeks, then alternate who gets to choose the venue between the two of you, with her going first. When it is your choice, pick someplace that may push her introvert tendencies, just a little bit---don't try to go whole hog or you will lose her first night out. Second time repeat that little push, and gradually increase with each subsequent night out how far you can get her to go toward your "perfect dinner". If you decide to try this let us know how it worked for you, or if it did not , why you think it failed.

Just an idea. One of those things I learned in a high priced people management course I had to go through for my job---basically the "how do you boil a frog" concept. Good luck.
