Wife jealous of the Kilt

[Brian K]

Are we secretly brothers-in-law, because if I didn't know better I would have to say that I'm married to your wife's sister!

She Who Must Be Obeyed is currently on double-secret probation with me, as she has forbidden me on more than one occasion recently from wearing my kilt out in public. She says that she doesn't want to bee seen with me causing a spectacle............

I'm 48 years old, gainfully employed in my own business and I shouldn't have to fight about what I'm going to wear. Life's too short to deal with this kind of nonsense about my hobby that she doesn't like.

And you allow her to treat you lie you're 12? Certainly you have to take into account her wishes and concerns - you did decide to spend the rest of your life with her after all - but it's just as unreasonable for her insist you wear your kilt only 5 out of the 365 days of the year. It sounds like you're doing all the accommodating here and it's time she took a turn or 3.

As much as I'd love to have a kilt, if you offer everything you own for sale I will not buy anything because I'd not want to give her the satisfaction of seeing you get rid of stuff you love just to satisfy some unreasonable and petulant need she has to control you utterly!

Regards - and good luck!
