Let us know. My money is on the solid color.

My wife thought solid coloured kilts were strange... Until she saw me wearing one.
Even if she didn't like them, she'd let me wear them... Because we're cool like that. She wears those blinding neon colours that she loves and I don't complain. Even when I can't look directly at her. They make her happy and I wouldn't make her stop because that'd make me a jerk.
Mutual respect and communication.

Whenever you first introduced the idea, most likely, she didn't think you were really serious so she responded in a likewise fashion. She wasn't really serious either. When you got the kilt she thought, "Oh, crap." That put her in an uncomfortable situation because she knew that you thought that she liked it. When you actually wore it out she thought, "This is enough. I've got to tell him because I never really liked the idea in the first place."
Advice: Dump her and go out in your kilt. The next woman you meet will be accepting of kilts because afterall, she'll meet you in one.

Ummm...
If you mean "just" a girlfriend as opposed to a "married-like" girlfriend, then go to Yahoo or Match.com personals and do a search with the word kilt in it.
You'll find hundreds of lovely ladiesm who appreciate kilted men, looking for a boyfriend.
If none suit your fancy, or are beyond geographic range, there are plenty of ladies willing to date you. Kilted or not.
Have had some incredibly loving relationships with ladies I've met on line...makes more sense than rooting through bars, colleges, churches, jobs etc hoping for a match.
None have hassled me about my kilts because kilts were part of my profile.
And, as a friend says, "If you meet a lady on line at least you know she's smart enough to drive a computer and probably can afford one too."
As others have pointed out, do you really wanna be with a lady who won't give you the freedom to be that most unique "you" that you are?...who won't allow you your bliss?

I'd bet it was her friends obnoxious "joking" that put her off. Time and exposure (no, not THAT kind!) will cure the problem.

Makes sense I suppose. Too bad for her though.

If only it were that easy. She's pregnant with my child and is off at her doctor today finding out what sex it's going to be, I should probably be there, I know, but I feel really, um, off at that place... Even if I did dump her and move on I'd still have child support to worry about.

Uh oh.
This of course, complicates things.
Do whatever it is you need to do to be a dad. Everything else, small taters.

That really wouldn't surprise me. She's had a bad habit of listening to other peoples opinions about relationships in the past...

my 2 cents
Just my personal experience ….. I have to agree with my niece Dirka Skene. There are more fish in the ocean. My wife encouraged me to get my 1st kilt. Once I tried it on she was dead set against it. She absolutely despises it. It is always a sore topic and has become a dividing point in our relationship. But I am not going back. Kilts are too comfortable to give up. You are not married yet. If I was not actually married I would have left already.
