Yeah, I would start investigating the possibility of divorce, just in case he comes home with an AP that is even nuttier than he is. They are out there.
It's good to be prepared, especially financially, in case he is so cult programmed that he can no longer function in society at large.

Would he ever consider going to therapy if he notices he only has a couple of friends left?
I can certainly see that other people have different opinions, but I have dropped all who are still Trumpers as of April 2021 from my friend circle. It has turned into a cult, and is no longer based on conservative values.
Definitely would not go on vacation with the cult couple. It might be best to spend some time apart so you get a break from the crazy. It's not healthy to be this invested in a political candidate from any party.

My spouse and I are not always on the same page politically. Spouse is a liberal, and I am not. But we both agree Trump is horrible.
Normally, I would not say divorce over a difference in politics as long as you can agree to disagree respectfully (as we do, I like to think), but if you've completely lost respect for your spouse, then that's a death spiral, IMO.

Why are there so many people that believe all the Trump crap? It can't be all Fox news brainwashing. How can anyone take that guy seriously?

You married stupid. Sadly, he is making you look stupid yoo. How much does he earn?
Divorce unless he is really rich. If he is rich buy another house and tell him you are going for a short vacation, .....to escape DC!! He will think it,a reasonable idea.

Anonymous wrote:I fear his obsession and irrational thoughts are driving us apart! I’ve noticed his circle of friends is getting smaller and smaller also. He will try and talk to me about this crap but I completely ignore him or just leave the room. When we go out with friends I have to listen to the same stupid conspiracy stories over and over again. It’s gotten to the point I don’t want to go out with another couple because I’m trapped listening to him rambling about politics! Now he’s talking about taking a vacation with another couple who are just as hardcore as he is and there is no way I can handle a week of this! I’m so sad that our relationship has evolved to this. I feel he would be in heaven if he was with a woman who is equally as nutty ...
I agree with a PP, maybe address the issue through this lens. "Hey, I notice you haven't been hanging out with Larlo recently. Why?" And if he starts talking about how Larlo doesn't believe XYZ then you probably have an answer as to why the circle of friends has shrunk, and how entrenched he may or may not be. I'd also suggest you finding someone to talk to about this, I've done this in regards to my relationship with my parents and it's helped a lot. Good luck.

I have come to realize that my spouse and I differ on certain key issues, and have always done so, but that I was not aware of how profound our differences were.
My socially conservative Asian husband has some prejudices around women's role in society, for example, and before we had our daughter, I didn't know this, because in a general way, he supports women's rights. But when it comes to his own family, it's a different story!
So perhaps OP and other posters with Trump-supporting husbands are in the same situation: they were never on the same page, but it never came up as a dissectable subject of conversation.

I'm sorry to say that it is unlikely your spouses have, in effect, joined a cult. It doesn't matter if the cult is political, religious, fitness, etc in nature. These people are no longer able to think critically and desire the companionship of people who think like them. Love is not enough to sustain a healthy relationship. The paths you and your spouses are on are becoming too divergent. If you haven't already, I'd start working with a relationship counselor with experience with cults. Hugs.

It's May 2021. Anyone who is still a Trump supporter is a major loser. Drop immediately.

I’m in the same boat ... we used to argue. Now I’ve just stopped engaging. I hope he changes back to who he was.

I am sorry. I needed to say I love your description. I know this is hard and awful.
