    My SO started out as the special occasions only type. By special occasion,that meant formal dances or dinners, h. games, weddings, and Xmas, and that's about it. It's taken several years and quite a few in-depth discusions but she now understands it's not a joke or strange affectation. Now she rarely makes a comment.

    In my case the secret was persistance with patience ...... but with reasonable limits.

    I'm going to tempt fate a little bit and go to my mother's Christmas Open house kilted without warning my wife first. It's all friends and family but most haven't seen me kilted so I'm sure there will be a lot of good natured harassment. My wife is still on the edge of acceptance of kilts in every day situations. She lets me to church and dinners and other Irish related events but the daily grind isn't fully OK yet. Hopefully she'll eventually come around.

    Well my wife is not keen, but just of late she has come to see me in a new light , I tend to dress down (a slob) but when I put one of my tartan kilts on I really dress up and try to look as smart as I can and now she will go out with me in a kilt mostly shopping but it's a good start
