Relationship Discussion (non-explicit)

My wife is starting to talk like her idiot MAGA family. Probably won't divorce, but I refuse to live near them

NP. This is exactly how I feel. DH and I have different political views, but the basic values are the same. I’m a democrat who is also critical of my own party. DH is an independent, which honestly annoys me a little, because I think independents don’t sufficiently acknowledge the current limitations of the system we need to work with. But our basic values align. But we do fight about politics a bit. He’s more of an extremist and idealist. I’m more pragmatic and logical. But if he voted for Trump, I’d have serious thoughts about divorcing. Because it tells me something about his values which completely goes against mine. |
So you husbands values are, secure boarders, not funding wars all over the globe, an actual primary election process? |
Agree. Younger generations, mine included, have lost their minds of politics. |
“over,” not of |
if those are his values, DIVORCE HIM IMMEDIATELY! OMG !!!!!!!! |
| I would leave. In fact am considering cutting off a lifetime friend who voted for Trump because Biden was “too old” and I guess her income bracket mattered more when Kamala took over. I have a completely different idea of her now as a person. |
Trump bragged about deporting 300 people when Biden was deporting 700/day. She isn’t divorcing her h because he wants the border secured, she divorcing him because he’s too stupid to understand Obama and Biden did a better job than Trump at it. |
My DW is far from MAGA, but much of her family isn’t. We haven’t seen or spoken to her brother, SIL, and their kids since 2016. |
This attitude is so interesting to me. I clearly remember during the Clinton years, there were discussions among the Republicans I knew of how cheating indicates low moral character and they could never vote for someone who treated their wife that way. Cheat on your wife, you’ll cheat everyone else. It totally flipped with Trump and now it’s “a private matter between him and his wife”. Even my dad, who is a hardcore Christian and heavily vocal about men who cheat, suddenly thinks it really has little to do with Trump’s character and morality. Funny how that works. |
+1 I agree. There is no difference. Just coming at it from opposite sides. |
Sadly it is due to a bigger issue with our country's morals. Over the past decades things have changed and shifted and what was, overall, unacceptable back then is now more commonplace or just not as much an outrage. Our society has changed. |
With the exception of wars in Israel, Panama, and Greenland, of course. |
And of course not the general election process, only the primary process. Remember, it's only a free and fair election of Trump wins! Otherwise it's rigged! |
|
And of course we keep the border "secure" while promoting mass violence and lack of health care inside the US.
Don't inport problems when we can grow our own? |
