Husband voting for Trump

Anonymous
This is a deal breaker to me and I had a visceral response to his admission. How can someone be so uneducated and unconcerned with the implications of a repeated Trump presidency on his two daughters? I’m frankly so grossed out and feel like this is the end of our marriage.

Divorce.

He’s either stupid or selfish, neither traits you want around your daughters.

I guess you're pro diversity as long as it's not diverse viewpoints?


Don’t you have a couch to romance, JD?

I went through something similar tonight. My husband said he's still not voting but warming up to Kamala and will consider voting for her next time if our interest rate goes down within 2 years. We have a daughter & the fact that he still doesn't get it is repulsive to me.

Tell him he’s sleeping on the couch, not with the couch.

How long have you been married? Was this not an issue in 2016 and 2020?

It almost seems like we need some Kamala-based communes for women who divorced their trumper husbands.

Twenty years and he voted for a libertarian in 2016 and Biden in 2020. The libertarian vote was an issue because he couldn’t even remember the candidates name.

I am now aware that he doesn’t respect women but I always thought he was educated enough to understand how damaging the 2016 election was that Trump was an absolute no. I am so disgusted.

My DH isn’t voting for either candidate. Kamala isn’t a great candidate so I can’t blame him. At least he isn’t voting for Trump.

OP, many sympathies. You are in the same boat of many, many women. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you and your husband are both white. There were likely many, many signs over the past 20 years and before you married this man that he did not respect women. You were not trained to spot them, and if you did, you were probably counseled to ignore them. The older I get, I realize that the majority of white American women are trained to select for economic security and status (which goes along with economic security) as the primary desirable attributes in a husband.

Hopefully you can work some magic on him between and and November. Good luck.

Hello, I'm new here - could you please help us single ladies out and list some of the signs you think white women miss or see but ignore?

This is the OP. Spot on. Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful post. I’m so embarrassed and angry at myself, appreciate your grace.
