As a rule, wearing a kilt is going to be as big a deal as you make it. It's an unusual thing to see a guy wearing pretty much anywhere, so people are going to notice and that's just what it is. If other people's comments and actions are making you feel that there's something wrong with you, based solely on what you choose to wear, then you'll need to get over it IMO. I've endured my share of snickering and pointing and stupid remarks and honestly, I don't care. Wearing a kilt makes me happy, it doesn't hurt anybody, and I've got two middle fingers for anyone who has a problem with that. 
Getting comfortable with wearing a kilt can be a big hurdle for some guys, but the more you do it the easier it gets and the more natural and normal you'll feel. Being comfortable means being confident, and being confident makes all the difference in the world.
As for your wife, that's a bummer for sure. Almost every guy I know who wears a kilt has a significant other who's very enthusiastic about it, but others not so much. Could be that she'll come around as she gets used to it, or at least stop giving you a hard time about it.
