Can you be married to someone with different political views?

[Anonymous]

Yes! My husband is a Democrat and I am a Republican. We both don't work in politics nor are huge politic nerds. We have 1,200 other things in common.

So it depends, you could have a fantastic marriage to someone with different and even opposite political views to you. However, if you have certain views that are tied to your moral values, or single issues that are make or break, probably not. PP could never be married to someone who supports life, where I could never be married to someone who is for killing babies. Values.

Sweetie, the grownups are talking about fetuses, not babies.

Are you talking about Obama because he is the one that started that practice.

Snort. Talk about mental gymnastics.

TBH, it’s been a very hard 4 years on my marriage. He’s center-right libertarian and I’m far left. I don’t think he was like this when we were dating. I hate talking politics with him because it erodes my respect and that makes me feel bad. After some arguments I’m so disgusted. I feel blindsided. I just want trump out and to not have to have political discussions with him anymore. We’re fine if you leave politics totally out of it.

We're both Dems, but I'm more liberal. TBH we were a bit heated during primary season as I was doing everything I could for Elizabeth Warren and he was not a fan. He declined a big Biden fundraiser because he knew I would be upset with the $$ donation, which I appreciated. Once Biden got the nomination we donated the $$, which I was then happy to do. Today he told me that he would have divorced me if I was a Trump voter. This was after our therapist said she has several clients divorcing over this election.

I could not be married to one of these defund the police idiots.

My H is a Republican in law enforcement.

I’m a feminazi liberal.

He is voting for Biden and voted for Hilary. He’s a Republican not an idiot, nor is her immoral.

Probably, there are other issues I will die on the sword for. One is women who don't like dogs. THEY DO EXIST! Last serious GF was a big cat person and couldn't stand dogs. I can't imagine I thought about marrying one of them.

If you can’t handle disagreeing about politics, don’t bother getting married and certainly don’t have kids. Those are small potatoes compared to the actual blows life will deal you and you will have to work through together.. Stick with pets and plants..

Meh, DH and I are Democrats but we differ on some issues, some I'm way more left leaning and vice versa. Not sure if it would work if we had opposing views. A supporter of the orange man would be an issue.

You are very stupid.

DH is a Dem, I'm a Republican .... have cancelled out each others votes for 25 plus years. This year we are both voting for Trump.

Agree. Politics governs so much of our lives. Honestly, you sound like a voter who just thinks we are entitled to a democracy. That were entitled to clean water. That were entitled to public schools. No, we have to vote for it.

DH is apolitical and I’m a voter. It’s his decision and it doesn’t both me whether he votes or not. I lean democratic and he leans Republican. If he voted it would be for Trump and I’m voting Biden. I may have pushed him more to vote if it was for my candidate 😉

We don’t fight about politics. Neither one of us really cares.
