For those of you who, like me, from time to time have had negative reactions from your spouse regarding your kilts, I have a suggestion. I have started to get my wife interested in following some of the threads on this forum. She has become familiar with the names of some of the folks that post regularly and often enjoys the banter. She has also come to realize that we are decent normal people who happen to be passionate about kilts and associated attire. My suggestion is... let your partner in on the forum. Show them what we talk about and how we feel about the issues. I know for a fact that it has helped in my case. Just a thought.
