[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clever people in politics listen (and then take advantage of what you tell them). This guy doesn’t sound like much of a politico.[/quote]
Have you followed politics in the last decade? Clever people don’t go into politics anymore, only stark raving lunatics, and no one listens. They just insult people and encourage their bases to hate half the country. [/quote]

Op I so want you to love him but you know you can’t. As a last ditch effort I need you to have a frank conversation with him about how and when he is allowed to channel his political energy. Ask him not to discuss work issues and topics in minutiae on a daily basis because you are more apolitical but tell him you are willing to compromise by giving him a full 30 minutes on Sunday morning for a weekly recap but you really don’t have the bandwidth to follow multiple issues that don’t affect you in major ways. Close by reiterating with other things you like about him and shared interests but be clear that politics is not something you can get into with as much zeal. Good luck

FWIW I am married to such a person but I am autistic and was blessed with the superpower of being able to check out of a conversation lol[/quote]
