Girlfriend Problems

Hmmm... People still replying to this? Wow.
I should probably give an update about this whole situation.
So, I sat her down and had that chat I mentioned. Come to find out that the main reason she picks on me about wearing a kilt is because she knows she can usually get away with it. She said that she didn't like me wearing it because it's a solid black AmeriKilt and she says it looks too much like a womans skirt, I showed her a couple of tartans that I'm thinking over and she seemed to like the idea of wearing tartans over solid colours.
And that's about it as far as how things have progressed...

I guess it's all in personal opinion. I have a Maple Leaf tartan on order, but after that one, I'll be buying a black shadow from SWK. It looks sharp on CCGA (Grant), and is about as close to a solid colour as you can get without being solid.

CCGA and Wompet both had on solid (more or less) kilts last night, and they both looked fine.

I've been looking at the old photos of soldiers wearing rugged-looking solid-colored kilts. They sure don't look like guys in women's skirts to me. Still some people think kilt = tartan. Oh well.

The Irish Guards wear solid saffrons, & I defy anyone to tell them they're a bunch of girls...

Me, I prefer tartan, but I have 2 solid blacks, I dont think I look like a girl in them. Neither does my wife.

Photos a-plenty of the Toronto Scottish regiment, that wear Hodden Grey kilts.

Just to clarify, in the Irish regiments, usually only the pipes and drums wear kilts -- the only kilted Irish regiment, to my knowledge, is the Canadian Irish Regiment.

I kinda figured that it was the solid color.

If you're going to try and make a go of it with this gal, especially since you're bringing a child into this world together, you need to remember one of the most important things. Communication can solve most problems. It's amazing how many times just airing your feelings can solve a problem before it even arises. Oh and also, communication does not mean arguing and hollering at each other.

Best of luck to you my friend.

As I have posted in the past it is better to wear a tartaned kilt as it takes away the obvious questions. This holds especially true for the newcomers as sometimes their a little self concious about their appearence. I have nothing against solid kilts but they often cause a slack jawed stare in the uninformed.

My vote: Dump her.

im sorry, that really sucks, specially cause she said it would be good first and changed her mind, im lucky enought to have a girl who's scottish and open minded so having an irish kilt wearing boyfriend is a dream, she loved the sport kilt so much that she approbed when i asked about getting a tank with a prince charlie so i could wear it to prom, that was an awesome night.

Ok take it from me a woman we as a sex are about as complicated as it can get and being pregnant doesnt make it any easier .Constant pains discomfort parts swelling a person inside you kicking you senseless and always feeling like you need to visit bathroom doesnt improve our attitude and well those are the good parts lol.See you talked it did good.Ask her what tartan she likes maybe if she picks it out shell be cool with it but ask on a day when shes had chocolate and isnt fussing about how parts are swelling and miserable lol.Just remember that pregnant does mean crazy sometimes.Cant imagine what I put my ex through .Ladies not bashing us either love being a woma and think that women are wonderful but we should be honest. lol
