My wife knew I wore kilts when we married (3 1/2 years ago), so she married a sometimes kilted fellow. In fact, the lion rampant on my ring was a source of early ice-breaking discussion.
Of course, now she says that she thinks it should only be worn on special occassions. Well, I don't wear it as much as I like to in an effort to get along, but I am going to wear it regularly and often. People who don't like me don't have to endure my presence. I would never force myself on folks who don't want me around.
In the ongoing struggle, I just quietly do what I want, and she adjusts.
Good luck.
