Just keep in mind that even after you ask and she responds, you may still have no clue what the issue is.Divided Attention wrote:If I; being one of the same gender as your wife, could express an opinion.
Have you asked her? What are her reservations for sure? Males and Females are wired so differently, please don't try to second guess her discomfort.
If her discomfort is around her or your use or proficiency, what about a defense outside the home course for the both of you? What about talking through some scenarios with her?
I guess the biggest point I am trying to get out is Ask some questions and listen, really listen to the answers. Sometimes us gals just need to vent. We don't necessarily want you to fix it for us, just listen and be a sounding board and our partner in this amazing life we share with you guys.

Re: How do I make my wife comfortable?
Statistics are not going to do it. Go for an emotional appeal. There are countless videos online (many linked from the forum) of incidents and victims' reactions, such as the recent LA Tan and Walmart parking lot incidents. A healthy dose of reality goes a long way.
I actually did a walk-thru with my wife - "You're in bed and hear something in the living room. Now as I come into the bedroom, what are you going to do?" When every scenario ends in dead wife (or worse), it opens some eyes.
