In theory marriage and relationships should be a straight forward thing but how often are they actually that way , you have two people who have come together in the hope that in some way you act,think, like and dislike as one but unless you are a Vulcan and do some sort of mind meld it will never happen so the next best thing to hope for is that both will take into account each others needs likes and dislikes and come to some sort of compromise when things get to deep for one to handle unfortunately this does not always happen for many reasons because of individual personality's and beliefs throw into that someone dressing in clothes that the other thinks should be for one particular gender (let alone gender issues) then things can get upsetting for both .
It is funny how clothes can cause so much conflict and it is so easy to say that they are just clothes but to some they represent far more than that and so easy to criticize or dislike what someone else is wearing because that is not what you personally like .
I wonder if the first step in a marriage/relationship is to explain what the clothes mean to you personally and how they make you feel then ask the other person ( wife /so) what they represent or mean to them and then see if there is a way forward that will help you both thought this dilemma , it is not so much as getting one to change their mind but more of understanding that two people at some point will have different minds and accepting that there has to be a compromise somewhere on both sides for it to work .
