Having read further, I see that JRMiller, John is treading on thin ice.
He is of course not the only one. Here in the Netherlands, I know a few men with actically identical problems, not to mention other forum members of the dutch skirting forum I am a member of.
Unfortunately John's skirt wearing, or breaking with convention, as I believe it is, has brought out a flaw in his wife's outlook on life. That wasn't an issue until he opened it up. John has no blame, as none of us have when we open our eyes and become more our true selves. But by doing so can put a light on a difference in vieuw point on these matters.
This should be dealt with very delicately. But not be put away. Without getting to the root of the ""problem"" it may not change, become an aggrivation and form a wedge, between the two, if you are unlucky.
How to deal with it? Getting each to be able to get their inner feelings out in words, which is not always easy, and may require outside professional help
not because any one is sick, but to get to and resolve the in our eyes mis understanding about men with their new found selves.
It may help if John and his wife could talk to other couples where the man wears skirts, and the wife sees it in a sober, understanding way.
There may be underlying reasons for any body to be unwilling to accept certain things, and they should be addressed profesionaly, only how do you know what is actually going on?
It may just be the way john's wife thinks. Period.
As I said, this unfortunate situation is an example of many others, and is very normal to happen. We have yet to be able to give professional help at a low threshhold, for example through this very forum.
Reading things like, "when she is out, I then can...."
I can go ALONE
and so on, that must be very lonely, in those situations, "You go and do what you like! As long as I don't see you!" That coming from your loving wife isn't very good for the harmony in the marriage.
Which is a real shame.
We here on the forum are one big family, and have a mutual family bonding, which I see as a safe place, home, where you can go and talk freely, be your self, that's the least we can do for each other.
The rest is up to the members and their partners.
Just thinking up loud: Maybe we can have a special topic on domestic problem solving, on a totally free and where wanted private "sessions". And wouldn't it be nice if there was an specialist who also wears skirts, and would participate, prodeo.
Making suggestions to be followed should be left to professionals. Advice from friends, we can give.
It may be wishful thinking, the suggestion is placed.
Of course, I, we, do and will not meddle in other men's personal lives.

A man is the same man in a pair of pants or a skirt. It is only the way people look at him that makes the difference.
