When she comes back from her "course", greet her wearing a brand new dress and high heels. Go full out. Shave your legs, paint your nails, pluck your eyebrows, makeup, earrings, and top it all off with a full set table filled with potatos, roast beef, and candles. If she doesn't accept you, then that's how it is. Divorce her and be on your merry way. Or just talk it out emphatically, from a lengthy script that you painstakingly made.
