A golden quote, indeed.

It is never easy to end a relationship. Just keep being yourself someone special will notice.

BTW I just gave a big hug and a kiss to my wife because she likes me in my kilts and out of them too.

I suspect that if you gave in she would have deemed you to be a wimp and lost interest in you.

BTW, I'm beginning to think of the kilt as a test of a woman's character. If you are single find out how she reacts when you are kilted.

The shame my friend is all hers and none of your doing. In the words of Golly MacKenzie "Stand tall, walk straight, and look the world in the eye."

Totally agreed. Better off without that one. Theres way to many chicks out there that dig the kilt.

I'll second (third, fifth, I lost count) that comment. When I told my S.O. I was going to wear a kilt because I wanted to get in touch with my Celtic heritage, she did look at me kind of funny at first but now she likes it. Of course, 26 years married may make a difference.

I have to agree that a kilt does test some relationships. If it survives, great. If it doesn't, try again. There are plenty of women out there that love a man in a kilt. Be yourself and be confident. A woman can sense that.

Just my $0.02 USD worth.

My thoughts are, if she is not that personal a friend, Who does she think she is?

If she were your wife, or even a close girlfriend, MAYBE she could have a little say in how you dress.

But since you didn't have that kind of relationship with her, to me she seems like someone who simply wants to have her own way with EVERYTHING and anyone who doesn't agree is just wrong. You're better off without that type of person.

I agree (along with everyone else it seems) with the fact that she's trying to control you.

Bottom line... SHE has issues with her OWN self confidence. So much so, in fact, that she worries about what people will think of HER when she's with OTHERS. I suspect that this isn't her ONLY "issue" to deal with, so you're probably better nipping this one in the bud.

Also... I think that wearing a kilt (or on broader terms, going against the mainstream social grain in some respectful way) IS a test of friends' character. If the person REALLY cares for YOU as an individual, they will accept your decision to wear the kilt. They may not be HAPPY with it, but they'll at least accept it. If they really cry, whine and moan about it and refuse to go out in public, it's indicitive of a larger issue within either the friendship or the other individual.

Think of it as a "good way to weed out the people I WOULDN'T want to be friends with ANYWAY". Who needs people that are only going to be negative aspects in your life? Life is too short to live an unhappy existence.
