BroosterB1,

My wife has had a similar reaction to my kilts. In my case, this has been going on for a year and a half. It's not going away, but I have been respectful of her feelings and do my best not to embarrass her with some folks.

Recently, while I was away for an extended period, she sought counseling and they determined that her "ick" feelings and so forth were related to her own self-esteem. She is now doing things to enhance her own self-esteem and has given my an all clear on kilts.

Something to think about -----
