Told NO!

My compromise on this is (was) that if it's "her" event.... like one of her orchestra concerts, or a dance concert, or a relatives party, or something we're doing on her bithday, something like that, then I usually didn't (and still somtimes don't) wear a kilt.

Now, this has changed slightly in the 18 months I've been trotting around in a kilt, and now I attend most of her concerts kilted, and recently went to her aunts 80th birthday in a kilt. But when I started, if an event was truly HER event or her families event, I put on pants. This was because she just wasn't used tome in a kilt, and thought it was kind of odd.

If it was "My" event...a celtic music concert, Highland Games, or a "joint event-low key" like a movie, I'd likely wear a kilt.

Now that 18 months has gone by and she sees that I'm not just doing this as a flash-in-the-pan fad, I'm going to most "special events" kilted. However, I still have no problem belting on pants if she asks me to. I mean, I wear a kilt probably 3/4's of the time, now, it won't KILL me to put on pants for an evening.

Every person is different - every relationship is different. Maybe you can try a bit of kilt desensitization as others have suggested. As for me - I know that sometimes I just have to decide if I'd rather be happy or right.

Enjoy the concert!
