Relationship Discussion (non-explicit)
If you were being honest you would have also heard talk about toxic masculinity, what’s wrong with men, just generally a lot of negative talk about men. Or did you miss all that? |
| I lied to my wife. I voted Trump! She is none the wiser! LOL!😂 |
I love your hysterics! |
I hear what you're saying, but I also think people didn't comprehend the notion of someone like Trump before he appeared on the scene. If you're saying you never would have married someone who voted for a Republican then that's different. I didn't vote for Trump and neither did my husband (either time), but I find the hysterical people like you to be annoying. You're actually part of the problem. |
Do you think your wife would leave you over this if she knew the truth? If so are you proud your life is built on a lie? Do you think this is different than tricking her into marriage by lying about something that is material to her (eg willingness to have children, religion, etc.)? |
All you're doing is creating a bigger divide. Congrats I guess. I am a registered republican who has voted purely for democrats since 2016 but it's insane to me that you don't see that you are also enabling this current situation. |
Disagree. I would have married a republican but not someone who would become a Trumper. There is a level of cruelty, stupidity and ignorance that cannot be tolerated. |
+1000 Democrats - direct your ire where it is due. And hint, it's not at the Trump voters. |
| Maybe next time don’t skip the Primary Election process. |
You disagree that your attitude is part of the problem? Because you're wrong. I think your over-simplification of Trump voters leaves a lot to be desired. 95% of the people I know (and I'm counting friends from my K-12 through today) voted for Harris, but I understand why the 5% I know voted for Trump. And they're not cruel, stupid, or ignorant. Failing to appreciate how others feel is what is contributing to our current situation. So, well done. |
In the real word I don't think women talk about men this way. First, what is masculinity? There is no standard definition. What makes a man masculine? What makes a woman feminine? These aren't things that the regular person spends their day thinking about. As a result these terms are hijacked by people who make a business out of it. They make money out of issues that don't have clear definition and with the speed at which fringe information travels irrelevant drifters find a medium to make money. Mt Trump won because in America perception is everything. We are a country where people always try to sell you stuff. We consume a lot. If you can sell perception of strength, power, hope and you are a good salesman you are going to be successful. |
| I never thought I married someone who would support someone like Trump but I learned I was wrong in 2016. It sickened me. Our marriage has suffered since. There’s a huge list of topics we cannot discuss. He swore he didn’t vote for him in 2020 so I tried to move on from it and focus on the good. Recently it became clear he was supporting Trump. I haven’t seen him since the results came in. I’ve thought about leaving but I can’t afford to. I’m really stuck. It’s not that he’s a republican that bothers me. We can have political differences. It’s that he supports a man who wants to take away all my rights and spew’s hate and has no respect for the laws of this country. I feel really unsafe and worried for the future and I can’t discuss that with the one person I should be able to depend on for support. |
Yeah it would be totally fine and a perfectly good marriage still if he would just LIE about who he’s voting for. |
Why didn’t the previous Trump presidency do that then? Why would we have better results now? |
| Not married, but I know those who voted him in will regret their decision for decades if he does even a quarter of the things he says he will. No need to divorce, just watch. |
